There is ample permit parking with no waiting list, there are friendly local shops, cafés and bistro bars and the County Hospital is an 8 min walk. Historic Kemptown has an al fresco lifestyle and plenty of amenities including a weekly farmer’s market, and the area is well served for green spaces which hold events during festivals.

Chichester Terrace is recognised as one of the of the UK’s most important Regency treasures and is one of only a few in Brighton which have private gardens for the residents. The building has an interesting history as number 11 was the first house within the terrace to be built by Thomas Cubitt, who stayed there in 1843, and it was the residence of Charles Dickens from 1895-1901.
The grand entrance is now secured by an entry system, and the magnificent communal hallway has delicate plaster work overhead and a sweeping staircase to take you to the first floor and this quiet apartment.

Inside, the hallway has two cupboards and the chic, contemporary shower room is to your left. Ahead, the studio room is light and airy with a high ceiling and large windows so you don’t feel hemmed in, and unusually for this location, it is not directly overlooked either. With 3.40m x 2.30m (11’1 x 7’6) in the main room and a large cupboard it is comfortable, and the kitchen is cleverly tucked into its own space, with natural light.

Thoughtfully planned, streamlined units and shelving deliver plenty of storage and solid wood surfaces look great but are also hardy. The high end finish continues in the integrated appliances which include an electric hob and oven.
Outside, access to the manicured gated gardens is available at a small annual charge.
