With impressive Air B&B figures available to view supplied by the vendor, this stylish apartment looks over the playing fields of one of the best schools in the country in an exclusive enclave of pretty period terraces between Queen’s Park and the beach, on the edge of fashionable Kemptown Village where you are never far from a fresh coffee and a croissant.
In a magnificent Victorian building with intricate terracotta detailing, the grand front entrance is now secured by answer phone and inside, the freshly painted communal hall gleams in the colours of original stain glass and is clearly cared for. With only one apartment per storey the refined character of the original building remains unspoilt, as are the beautiful proportions.
Up a sweeping staircase on the second floor, this inviting apartment opens to a central hallway. Ahead, the elegant living room spans the full width of this substantial building so there is ample scope for defining areas for seating and dining, and two large windows to the south frame sunshine and leafy views to the sea which change with the seasons- and open to the glorious sound of summertime cricket - and as the kitchen is discreetly tucked away, it is sociable but does not intrude into the main living area. A timeless classic with blonde units and dark, gleaming surfaces it has all you need as a first buy or to rent with a gas hob and electric oven integrated beneath a hood, plumbing for both a dishwasher and a washing machine and space for an under counter fridge. Embracing the evolving history of this gracious home, a period fireplace with an Art Deco influence is open – which is rare – so this quiet refuge is a warm and welcoming in winter months, too.
Separating the living space from the master bedroom, the modern bathroom has a fuss free white suite and a shower above the bath and quietly at the back, the generous master bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary to return to after a busy day. Almost filling the far wall, the big window reaches the ceiling which is high, and with fitted wardrobes there is ample floor space even with a double bed in situ. High above the surrounding residential homes it is not directly overlooked and with views to a local, little known woodland, it is easy to forget you are a 15 minute walk to the centre of an internationally famous coastal resort. On the half landing, the private second bedroom with plumbing for a hand basin is bright and cheerful, with plenty of storage and character of its own to enjoy.
Agent says:
“Ideal for professionals, commuters and investors the hospital is a 7 minute walk and the city centre and station are easy to get to on foot, by bus or by cab.”
Owner’s secret:
“Close to the sea, local cafes open early and the shops stay open late, perfect if you commute or work unsocial shifts, and it is relaxing to return to the peace and leafy views. For time off, the location is ideal for friends to meet and walk to the arts venues, clubs and bars of the historic Lanes.”

The cinemas and waterfront amenities of the Marina are within walking distance, and the international heart of the city is easy to reach on foot, by bus or by cab. Near to good schools- including Brighton College of course- woodland walks and access to the Downs are close by. For those who commute, the station serving Gatwick and London is 15 minutes by bus and there is no waiting list for parking zone H.
