Why you’ll like it:

The Clock Tower Apartments sit in the shadow of the city’s famous landmark of the same name, while the sea and promenade can be seen at the bottom of the hill. Indeed, all of the city’s landmarks, both old and new, are within easy walking distance. There is a real buzz about this place as it sits so centrally within the city, yet the apartment complex is elevated above and nicely insulated from the hubbub.

From the communal corridors, you can take the lift or the stairs to the first floor where your door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, you are greeted into a wide and welcoming entrance hall where the scale of the apartment becomes apparent. Wood flooring complements white walls which flow into the generous living room to the left which lends itself perfectly to entertaining in style. There are clearly defined areas for formal dining, relaxation and cooking, plus there would be ample space for a work desk too should you need to work from home. Running along the rear wall, the modern kitchen has cream gloss cabinets paired with light-aqua blue practical worktops. Within these, the oven, washing machine, fridge freezer, induction hob and dishwasher have been integrated, so you can move straight in with ease.
Both bedrooms share the same sunny westerly sunny aspect as the living room, and both are generous doubles with light grey laminate underfoot plus energy efficient double glazing for both sound and heat insulation. Both have built-in wardrobes and easy access to the chic bathroom lined in Travertine stone and with a shower over the bath.

Agent’s thoughts:

This apartment is uniquely spacious and is in excellent decorative order. The location will also appeal to many as Brighton Station is within walking distance, as are the vibrant shops, restaurants and bars of Brighton’s fashionable North Laine District.

Owners’ thoughts:

“Not only is the location ideal for enjoying the city, but the security of the building and friendly neighbours has meant we have been happy to lock-up-and-leave when need be. It has also been a successful rental property as it is both spacious and close to everything this cosmopolitan city has to offer. It offers a great space for entertaining and during the warmer months, the promenade is a fantastic place to sit outside a restaurant with the sun on your face, watching the wonderful folk of Brighton & Hove stroll by.”
