Why you’ll like it:
Light and airy, this generous apartment has wonderful period features, glorious proportions and an easy flow with the kitchen opening to the sunny walled garden ideal for the al fresco lifestyle our exciting coastal city is known for.

On the ground floor, inside the hallway invites company with space for coats and bags and an attractive yet practical wooden floor. Ahead, an elegant reception brings Regency Hove to life with a soaring ceiling decorated by egg and dart plaster work and intricate frieze, and an irreplaceable, original fireplace brings warmth as well as classic beauty to the space. Big windows line the gentle bow of the west wall to bring in the sun and there is ample floorspace in which to entertain. Behind you, tall central doors have been blocked in but remain intact keeping options open- which could include re-connecting the main rooms, keeping them as they are or using them both as bedrooms, and some apartments in these historic terraces have even moved the kitchen into the reception, subject to the necessary consents.

Quietly at the back, a romantic double bedroom has a stately fireplace and still has a floral freeze wending its way around the lofty ceiling, and the large window looks across to the garden – with no building behind it, making this room unusually private for this sought after quarter of Brunswick Town. Along the hallway, there is approximately 16’ of space under the stairs for storage- with power– whilst opposite, a central cloakroom is useful in a busy home.

Looking south for the sunshine, the dining room is bright and cheerful with a sofa bed for visitors and a social flow to the kitchen with its door to the garden. A study of petite perfection, the kitchen has streamlined units topped by user friendly wood surfaces and the Smeg multi fuel oven could stay, subject to circumstance.

Outside, steps lead down to a scented sun trap with tropical planting and central lawn ideal for al fresco dining. A secret oasis to return to after a busy day in the city it is pet and child secure with listed walls of bungaroosh and there is a paved area for safe BBQing or for a bike store at the far end.

Returning inside although tucked away, the bathroom is large enough for a bath and has all you need including a shower attachment and natural light.
