At the heart of historic Brunswick Town with a bird’s eye view over rooftops to the sea, this light and airy two bedroom apartment is within a creamy, bow fronted Regency terrace, Grade II listed to preserve its classic charm. High ceilings, big windows and wooden floors are inviting and with open views at both the front and back, you’ll feel on top of the world. Up on the top floor it soars above the leafy avenue beneath so it is very quiet, even though its location is ideal with the international shopping, bars and restaurants of Church Road at the end of the terrace, the beach at the bottom of the hill and St Anne’s Wells Gardens around the corner. Ideal for professionals and investors, the whole of our coastal city is easy to get to on foot, by bus or cab and if you commute, both Brighton and Hove train stations serving Gatwick and London are within a 5 minute radius.

Why you’ll like it:
A sought after address at the heart of the chic Church Road shopping district but tucked away from the crowds, this fabulous apartment has a subtle blend of old and new features, and there is contemporary fire alarm system already in place. The grand entrance to this beautiful building is now secured by answer phone and inside, the communal hallway still has handmade roses and corbel plaster work high above your head. Up on the fourth floor, the front door opens to a bright landing and this cheerful home with a sunny east west orientation.

Ahead, the spacious living room follows the gentle curve of the building, so gets extra floor space, and the views out of the tall window reach over the rooftops opposite to a glimpse of the bay of Worthing and surrounding Downland. A beautiful period fireplace is still in situ but sensitively adapted to the needs of 21st century entertaining, the kitchen has been joined to the living space by a sociable breakfast bar with room for seating on both sides. Right on trend, grey quartz surfaces glint beneath a choice of lighting levels and this is a kitchen ready for use with an integrated touch induction hob, oven, fridge and hose tap, and plumbing is in place for a washing machine, which could stay subject to circumstance.

At the front of the building with a window in the broad bow, the first of the double bedrooms also has restful, open views to the glitter of the English Channel - both ahead and obliquely- so you don’t feel hemmed in even though you are so central. With ample floor space even with a double bed and large desk in it, this room is ideal if you were thinking of sharing or working from home as it is well away from the master bedroom which is quietly tucked away at the rear. Looking over a sea of gardens with the occasional appearance of the silver pod of the distant i360, this master bedroom is really generous in size and the window almost fills the whole east wall to bring in the morning sunshine. Next door, the stylish shower room has all you need including natural light and a Triton Excite Plus shower, so water pressure shouldn’t be an issue.

Agent says:
“Hove is famous for its creamy terraces of which this is a beautiful example, and although you can enjoy the beach and the shops, this apartment is away from the tourist trail.”

Owner’s secret:
“The apartment is light and a pleasure to live in, and has always let easily when we have been away. The location couldn’t be better with both Brighton’s fashionable shops and bars and the more al fresco lifestyle of Hove each a stroll.”

What’s around you:
Shops: Church Road 1 minute
Train Station: Brighton or Hove both 5 minutes

The international shopping and vibrant café culture of Church Road with theatres, bars and music venues is at the end of the terrace and our famous beaches with seaside amenities and Hove Lawns, which hosts arts events on its open green spaces are just a stroll. An exceptionally convenient but quiet location, the whole of the city with its good schools is easy to reach on foot, by bus or by cab.
