Why you’ll like it:
One of the finest south facing terraces on our famous, Regency seafront in a convenient spot with independent shops, cafés and bars on your doorstep but out of hearing, this beautiful home is within an impressive building built as apartments, with each one spanning one entire floor. The imposing entrance is secure and inside the communal hallway has gilded plasterwork and handsome tiled floor with a lift tucked into the centre of a statuesque original staircase to deliver you to this luxury home.

Inside, a stunning, sun-lit living dining room has triple windows which stretch almost from floor to ceiling across the substantial bay front of this magnificent building to frame the sea, the sky and mesmerising views by day or by night stretching from the Marina in the east to Brighton’s glittering pier. A perfect fusion of Regency grace and spectacular seascape you can enjoy even when seated, this is a unique space of 7.55 x 7.07m (24’9 x 23’2) to enjoy with stripped floorboards, wood shutters, a ceiling adorned by an original frieze, ambient lighting and a stately fireplace.

Along a hallway with deep storage, the luxury shower room is central to the apartment. Wet room in style it has a high end finish with underfloor heat, a dual headed shower system and a Catalano hand basin as well as a warming rail for towels. Next door, the guest room is absolutely private with restful height and simple but stylish decoration.

Easy to reach from both the living dining room and the bedrooms, the high spec kitchen is bright and inviting with high, leaded windows opposite a big sash window. With wood surfaces and sophisticated storage this timeless classic is good to go with a Smeg electric hob and oven, an integrated washing machine and dimmer switches for a choice of lighting levels, and usb charging points are within the plug sockets – a subtle contemporary feature you will find in other rooms, too.

With glorious open views across a large, manicured garden the second bedroom at the back has space, grace and a period frieze which follows the curved wall. Oak is underfoot and wooden shutters are at the window – although the room is not directly overlooked.
Next door, Regency romance springs to life in the spacious principal bedroom with a graceful, historic fireplace. Twin windows frame a manicured garden and sweeping rooftop views, but also have wooden shutters to close the world away. Blissfully quiet, there is a generous 5.24 x 6.0m (17’2 x 16’5) in which to relax and with fresh decoration and top grade, new Sisal carpet you won’t need to change a thing.

Agent Says:
“Opposite the beach, Lido and yoga centre, although this spot is chic and just a walk into the historic heart of the city, it is tucked away from tourists. The area is exclusive and homes in this beautiful terrace do not appear on the market often.”

Owner’s secret:
“Grade II listed, the building is beautiful and well-maintained. All of the rooms are light and inviting and the stunning views, both front and back also make it unusually private. There is something for everyone of any age here. You can spend time on the beach, enjoy the fresh local produce on offer, explore the local cafés and restaurants or walk into Brighton’s cultural heart which clusters around the Royal Pavilion – about a 10-15 min walk. If you love the sea, the Marina is also a short walk and the National Park is easy to reach.”
