Bay fronted, this stately building on a one way street with permit parking leading to the sea has an impressive frontage and its grand entrance, secured by answer phone, opens to a tidy communal hallway.

Inside the apartment, at the front, sunshine streams through a reception of classic proportion where a broad bay and stately sash window almost fill the west wall, whilst the blonde wood flooring and spotlights overhead bring a sophisticated finish to a room ideal for contemporary entertaining with a generous 5.86m x 5.18m (19’3 x 17’0) to work with. Tucked away behind a peninsular island with a choice of lighting levels, the streamlined kitchen is sociable but does not dominate the whole room and integrated appliances include a touch induction hob, electric oven and a hood to ensure the room remains fragrant.

Past a central shower room with a chic finish, the first of the double bedrooms is quiet at the back with 3.27m x 2.86m (10’9 x 9’5) in which to relax in calm seclusion and tucked away on its own level, the second double room is ideal for teens, guests or health professionals who work unsocial hours as they can come and go without disturbing the other rooms.

Up on the third floor at the back, the third bedroom is used as a private home office and is good to go with a marbled shower room whilst spanning the full width of the building, the principal bedroom is a calm retreat where it is easy to forget that you are a stroll from the centre of an international coastal resort, and the ensuite has a stately bath in which to bathe in glory and a designer finish.

Agent says:
“You can enjoy the famous Brighton lifestyle to the full from this exclusive location which is far quieter than its central position may suggest. Ideal as a home, if you are looking for an investment it is a sensible one near major employers and university buildings, so a car wouldn’t be necessary, and there is also an opportunity to purchase all three apartments which form the upper part of the building.”

“You can walk to the picturesque Lanes (and clubs) along the seafront so you get a real holiday feel and the shops and cafes along Upper St James’s Street and St James’s Street are really friendly, so if you’re new to Brighton, you won’t feel isolated!”
