Flat for sale in St Michaels Place, Brighton, East Sussex BN1

Perfectly located in unarguably the most prestigious Conservation Area in the city: Clifton Hill, this beautifully refurbished two-bedroom flat is a real treat. It is formed from the entire lower ground floor of a substantial Victorian townhouse, so it has the generous proportions of the period and an immaculate, contemporary interior.

With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it is ideal for professional sharers or smaller families who would also appreciate the close proximity of Brighton Station, Seven Dials and the beach, plus there are several excellent schools within catchment. Either way it is sure to be coveted by many.

Although extremely central, the streets of Clifton Hill feel peacefully tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Western Road and Seven Dials. This stylish apartment sits mid-terrace and it has its own street entrance past glossy black railings, down a few stone steps. Your door opens to a useful entrance vestibule with bespoke cupboards to house your coats and shoes, then a long corridor stretches through the apartment with dark wood floors flowing into every room. It has clearly been very well-maintained by the current owner, with a contemporary, neutral palette which will suit all styles of modern furnishing and with inbuilt speakers in several rooms.

First on the right is the principal bedroom suite which has a wide bay window adorned with roller blinds in stylish calico cream. These provide plenty of privacy from the street, yet being set back slightly from the road, natural light is able to filter in during the morning. There is ample space for a king bed and freestanding furnishings, and the en suite has a modern take on a period style with metro brick tiling and a freestanding roll-top bathtub. It is a beautiful and restful space for relaxation after a long day.

The main bathroom shares the same fine finish as the en suite but has a streamlined and modern aesthetic in grey with large scale wall and floor tiles and a rainfall shower over a gleaming white bath suite.

The hallway opens up to the generous living and dining room at the far end which offers the ideal space for formal dining and relaxing on comfortable sofas and chairs during the evening. French doors open to the patio which becomes a wonderful extension of the home during summer when you can spill outside for alfresco dining, while forming a lovely backdrop to the room all year round. The kitchen is conveniently open to the room but recessed, so it does not dominate the space. It comes fully fitted with integrated appliances, to include a gas range cooker which has been seamlessly cut-in between cream wood units which provide a wealth of storage.

Bedroom two is peacefully tucked away at the far end of the flat with a second set of French doors opening to the patio, giving a lovely sense of flow when all the doors are open during the warmer seasons. While it is dressed with a single daybed, it could fit a small double bed, as built-in wardrobes maximise the floor space. Alternatively, it would made a lovely children’s room or a tranquil home office for those looking to work from home on a daily or weekly basis.<br /><br />This smart and spacious flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
