Completed in 1938, Astra House has the archetypal Deco styling you would expect from the period. Steeped in history, it was built to replace the notorious New Club: a members’ only club for wealthy gentlemen but was originally intended as holiday apartments for the RAF, hence its Astral name. Before this noble aim was achieved, the apartments were sold off to wealthy Londoners, following the trend of so many seeking the fresh air and fun times of the south coast. They remain as impressive today, however, and they continue to attract many, looking to find the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle by the beach.
The building is attractive both inside and out, with distinctive Terrazzo flooring and cast-iron radiators lining the communal hallways. A smart passenger lift awaits to whisk you up to the fifth floor where your door is clearly numbered.
Stepping inside, your eye is immediately drawn towards the living room where three sash windows with secondary glazing frame the incredible sea and skyscapes to the south, looking out over the English Channel with the ghostly remains of the city’s iconic West Pier close to the coast and boardwalk. These views are a joy throughout the seasons, creating an ever-changing vista from wherever you sit in the room. There is space for a sofa and a dining table and chairs, with the kitchen conveniently next door.
This is a galley room with plenty of storage leaving space for freestanding appliances. It shares the same sunny outlook as the living room, so you have a lovely view to wash up to.
Across the hall, the principal bedroom is a generous double room with bespoke built-in wardrobes and a westerly aspect and wooden floors. By the box bay window, a workspace has been created with a built-in desk and views over the urban, historic landscape, so it is ideal for those working from home on a daily or weekly basis. Bedroom two is a smaller room sitting off the living room, also enjoying a westerly aspect and oblique sea views. It has space for a single bed and freestanding furnishings, perfect as a child’s room or a home office and guest bedroom.
These rooms have easy access to the bathroom which has a classic monochrome bath suite with a rainfall shower over the bath. It would certainly be possible to modernise in here and in the kitchen to have the greatest visual and financial impact on this highly sought-after property.
This sunny apartment is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this apartment also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
