2 bed flat for sale

Old Shoreham Road, Brighton BN1

Occupying the principal floor of an elegant Victorian villa, this beautifully renovated two-bedroom raised ground floor apartment effortlessly combines the grandeur of the period with thoughtful contemporary design. Renovated to an exceptional standard between 2022 and 2024, every detail has been carefully considered, creating a home that feels both timeless and beautifully crafted.

A welcoming entrance hall provides generous built-in storage before leading to two double bedrooms, both benefitting from their own en-suite bathrooms - an unusual and highly desirable feature.

The principal bedroom sits peacefully at the front of the property, where a large bay window fills the room with natural light. Bespoke architectural arches celebrate the impressive ceiling height, while a handcrafted American walnut-stained wardrobe has been designed to maximise storage within the original alcove. The luxurious en-suite has been newly created using handmade Claybrook terracotta tiles, breathable Bauwerk limewash walls and a bespoke vanity unit, combining beautiful design with practical longevity. Engineered oak flooring, laid throughout the apartment during the renovation, continues seamlessly into the room.

The second double bedroom is equally well proportioned and retains its beautifully restored original parquet flooring, offering a charming contrast to the oak flooring found throughout the rest of the apartment. It too enjoys the convenience of its own stylish en-suite shower room, making the layout ideal for guests, family or those working from home.

To the rear, the apartment opens into a wonderfully bright south-facing living space where oversized windows frame leafy views across the garden. High ceilings, ornate cornicing, dado rails and an elegant feature fireplace celebrate the building's Victorian heritage, while soft neutral décor creates a calm and inviting atmosphere.

Positioned just off the living area beneath an elegant archway, the contemporary kitchen is subtly defined by beautiful Claybrook Kromatic terracotta tiled flooring. Installed as part of the renovation, it combines integrated appliances with bespoke handcrafted shelving to create a space that is as practical as it is stylish.

Stepping outside, the generous south-facing garden is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Rarely found with an apartment of this kind, it offers a wonderfully private retreat with mature planting, a raised sun deck, low-maintenance landscaped borders, a dedicated barbecue area and a garden shed. Sheltered by established trees, it becomes a true extension of the living space throughout the warmer months.

Beautifully reimagined by the current owners, this exceptional home offers the rare combination of elegant Victorian architecture, carefully curated interiors and an outstanding south-facing garden, all within easy reach of Prestonville, Seven Dials and Brighton railway station.
