Dynamic design opens this fabulous, three bedroom eco- friendly house to the sun, a spacious, south facing garden and private balcony off the principal bedroom.

With secure underground parking which has a charging point, this glamorous contemporary home by award winning architects Morgan Carn is ideal for professionals, families or investors in Clifton Hill CA, one of the most exclusive – and expensive- areas of the city. 5 minutes’ walk from a sought after primary school and adjoining park, 8 from the clock tower at the vibrant heart of the city and 9 from Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London at the top of the picturesque North Laine, (or 3 by cab) it is in the ‘golden triangle’ where even the beach is within a 10 – 15 minute radius on foot.

Inside, a generous 1524 sq. ft. (141 m2) ensures that both a streamlined living room and design-led kitchen diner each have an entire floor, whilst upstairs two big, bright bedrooms share a magnificent, central bathroom, so they don’t share a wall. Private at the top with a secluded balcony, the principal bedroom is a dream come true with ample storage and a luxury en-suite – and you can enjoy all this comfort guilt free as this home comes with sophisticated energy management systems which include solar panels and heat recovery from the bathrooms to attain a sustainable code 4.

Completed in 2012, this iconic building is quietly tucked away in a location which is hard to beat as it is also just a short walk from the al fresco lifestyle and cafes of the fashionable 7 Dials – and its 7 routes into or out of the city.

Why you’ll like it:

The wow factor hits as soon as you spot this small, private terrace of just three houses with crisp clean lines and an impressive, landscaped frontage and entrance for guests. An award winning home, every detail has been considered including direct access from the secure garage, watched over by a cctv to give ease of mind when you’re away, where inside the house on the lower floor, an inner lobby has a large cupboard for coats and bags opposite a cloakroom and utility, so beach towels and sports kits can go straight from the car into the machine.

Eco Sensitive:

Built to exacting standards of ethical and efficient energy conservation, this house is classified as sustainable housing code 4 by including high specification acoustic and heat insulation, heat recovery and air circulation systems within the bathrooms, and underfloor heating and LED lighting throughout. Solar panels for the heating and hot water, together with rainwater harvesting, work in conjunction with all other features, to ensure that the energy bills are as low as possible.

The Kitchen Dining Room:

With an astonishing 24’10 x 14’2 (7.57m x 4.34m) to enjoy, there is ample space in this design-led space for family time, as well as for welcoming company who can relax in rare and complete seclusion in the large dining area beneath twin skylights or at the inviting island. The high end kitchen is skilfully planned for those who love to host with streamlined units to conceal sophisticated storage solutions, there are both a micro/combi and a fan oven at eye level and there is a dishwasher tucked away.

The Living Room:

All 439.7 sq. ft. (40.85m2) of the ground floor delivers a living room to remember with walls of glass at each end to bring in the Sussex sunshine which at the back, fold away to a glamorous garden, perfect for friends to spill out to before exploring the city. Inside high ceilings, wood floors and a sculptural oak and glass staircase combine to create a flawless, light-filled retreat and to the right is a media wall with cabling for digital, satellite and analogue tv, radio and broadband, (available in each room in the house).

The Garden

A private paradise made child and pet secure, the south facing garden is a rare treasure in an historic city built obliquely to the sea. Landscaped for an easy, al fresco lifestyle, with decking underfoot and palm trees waving overhead, it is a tropical, trouble free oasis to return to after a day in the city. – and it is level with the house, a feature hard to find in a city built on hills.

Two First Floor Bedrooms and Luxury Bathroom:
At the top of a fabulous staircase with inset led lighting, a door ensures peace and privacy in the two large bedrooms on this level. At the back, the first of the double bedrooms is simple but stylish with fitted wardrobes, whilst at the front, the second large, light and airy bedroom has restful proportions, and a whole wall of wardrobes! Between the two, perfect for children or sharers, the bathroom has high end fittings and a VIP attitude.

The Principal Suite:

All about relaxing in an exclusive setting, the principal bedroom is a romantic retreat, spanning the top floor with 21’5 x 15’0 (6.53m x 4.58m) in which to unwind and a secluded balcony with room for a table and chairs to enjoy, night or day. Fitted wardrobes offer all the storage you could dream of, and the ensuite has a chic finish.
