1 bedroom flat for sale

A bright and beautifully presented split-level apartment set within an impressive Grade II-listed former boarding school, originally designed by renowned architect Thomas Simpson and later converted by Philippe Starck into a collection of stylish contemporary homes.

Arranged over the ground and first floors, the apartment offers generous and versatile living space, combining striking architectural features with modern finishes. The heart of the home is the open-plan living area, incorporating the kitchen, dining and reception space, with a dramatic triple-height ceiling creating a wonderful sense of volume and light. Tall glazing allows natural light to pour in, while exposed brickwork and original flooring add warmth and character. The kitchen is fitted with modern units, stainless steel worktops and ample storage, with space for a large dining table.

Also on the ground floor is a separate WC and cloakroom with additional storage. An oak staircase leads to the first floor, where a spacious double bedroom benefits from bespoke fitted wardrobes and a calm, peaceful outlook.

The bathroom is well-appointed with a Philippe Starck-designed suite, including a bath, twin wash basins and a separate shower enclosure.

Externally, residents enjoy access to attractive and well-maintained communal gardens, mainly laid to lawn with seating areas, ideal for relaxing or socialising, along with secure bike storage.

Situated in the heart of Hanover, the property is within easy walking distance of Brighton city centre, the seafront and Queen’s Park. The area is well known for its vibrant community and excellent range of independent cafés, pubs and local amenities. Brighton Station is approximately a 20-minute walk away, providing direct links to London and Gatwick.
