A great opportunity to get on the property or investment ladder, this spacious 1 bed 2nd floor flat with oblique sea views is in a fabulous historic building tucked away between SoHo House on the seafront and St James’s Street – on the Pride route. Priced to sell 3 mins walk from the Pier, famous arts venues and the historic South Lanes which lead from the beach to the Royal Pavilion, this private eyrie is in a prime spot with 30.21m2 (325.17 sq. Ft.) of stylish rooms to enjoy and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London 7 minutes by cab, 10 by bus or 15 on foot.

A sophisticated open plan living dining room has a window seat to focus on the holiday views and plenty of space to entertain – including for a dining table and a sofa bed for friends to stay over. Tucked into its own space the kitchen area is good to go and a central bathroom is a luxury retreat. Spanning the full depth of this substantial, historic property, which isn’t listed, the bedroom at the back is a quiet, comfortable double with a fitted wardrobe to fill. A great opportunity to snap up a bargain within walking distance of major employers as well as beach bars and cafés, wellness centre and Lido, this bohemian quarter has a relaxed, al fresco lifestyle. Particularly popular with health, flight and artistic professionals as the theatres of Brighton and Opera house at Glyndbourne are easy to reach, the County Hospital is a 15-20 minute stroll, there’s a coach to the airport from the Old Steine and the Gatwick Express from the station also stops at Victoria for the West End.

Chic and central, now is the time to buy this fabulous apartment in an exclusive location high above an historic street with beautiful architecture, tucked away between Kemptown’s famous seafront and vibrant St James’s Street. The grand entrance is secure and inside new life breathes through this sensitively converted building which retains the character of the property whilst also keeping 21st century comfort and style in mind.

Inside this apartment, you leave any stresses of the day behind in a hushed hallway with great storage. Ahead, the light and airy open plan living dining room has a practical 4.79m x 3.23m (15’8 x 10’7) which provides plenty of opportunity to create areas for rest, work or play – and has space for a sofas bed as well as a table and chairs, so friends can stay over. With beautiful proportions, this restful retreat has a large bay window looking down the attractive period terrace to So-Ho House and the sea, with a window seat built in to enjoy it to the full.

Ideal for entertaining, the kitchen area is sociable but tucked away in its own space so it does not dominate the living area. Skilfully planned with ingenious storage and practical working surfaces, everything flows from the gas hob and oven beneath a hood, and there’s plumbing for a washing machine in place.

Central to the apartment, the contemporary bathroom is a private refuge with a seaside theme in the designer, blue and white tiling. There’s an electric shower above the bath for good water pressure, and a cabinet for lotions and potions beneath the hand basin. Quiet at the rear of this substantial building, the double bedroom is an inviting classic with a wood floor, high ceiling and fitted wardrobes to fill, and it has a comfortable 2.86 x 2.85m (9’4 x 9’4) to relax in.
