Regency Apartment With Direct Sea Views & South Facing Balcony

Taking pride of place on the first floor of a Grade II Listed Regency townhouse on Kemptown Seafront, this bright and generous two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment enjoys uninterrupted sea views from its elevated position within the house. Formed from the entire floor, it stretches the depth of this generous building, following the curve on the southerly façade which gives the living room its ballroomesque proportions. It has a wealth of period features throughout, which include a grand, open marble fireplace in the main reception room, deep skirtings and decorative plasterwork cornicing.

Internally, the decoration is smart and neutral in shades of buttermilk cream and dove-grey with its features picked out in fresh white which will suit all styles of furnishing. It would be possible, however, to reconfigure the layout to provide 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms/shower rooms subject to planning permission which would add considerable value due to the prestigious building and location.

Beyond its immediate allure, the property offers considerable flexibility and potential. The current layout includes a spacious shower room that was formerly a third bedroom. Retaining fitted wardrobes and much of its original bedroom configuration, this space could be readily reinstated as a third bedroom, subject to a purchaser's requirements. This adaptability makes the apartment particularly appealing for growing families, those seeking additional guest accommodation, or buyers in need of a dedicated home office.

The apartment also benefits from two substantial loft storage spaces, a highly sought-after feature in period homes, providing excellent storage and potential for further enhancement, subject to any necessary consents.

The location is truly exceptional. Situated in the popular Kemptown area, residents enjoy a vibrant coastal community with an array of independent shops, cafés and restaurants close at hand. The city centre is within comfortable walking distance, offering an extensive selection of retail, dining and cultural attractions. Excellent transport links provide convenient access throughout East Sussex and beyond, making this an ideal base for both local residents and commuters.

While retaining its historical integrity, the apartment presents significant scope for modernisation. A discerning buyer will recognise the opportunity to introduce contemporary design and finishes, creating a bespoke living space that complements the property's inherent character and enviable seafront position. This is more than simply an apartment; it is an opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Regency history while enjoying a lifestyle defined by elegance, convenience and outstanding coastal views.
