1 bedroom flat for sale

Built at the end of the 19th Century; during Brighton and Hove’s greatest period of growth, the homes of St Aubyns were set to impress. Over a century later, their effortless elegance and prestigious location continues to attract those looking to live a luxury lifestyle by the sea.

This ground-floor garden apartment is particularly attractive having been renovated by those with a keen eye for interiors.

It also boasts sole access to a sweet and sunny walled garden which catches the last of the sun as it sets in the west.

Sitting on the cusp of both Brighton and Hove’s social and cultural centres, there is plenty to entertain you within easy walking distance and Hove Station is a stroll away, so this property would be ideal for investors, first time buyers and commuters alike

Take a stroll along Hove’s famous promenade and you cannot fail to be impressed by the beautiful townhouses of St Aubyns as they stand prominently looking out over the sea. This building is particularly attractive with classic architectural features. Facing southeast, it holds a corner plot which gives it a unique layout with a curved façade and stone steps leading up to the main front door. This opens to a communal entrance where the scale of the building becomes apparent. This apartment is to the right, where once more, the ceilings are gloriously high and natural light streams into the incredible living and dining room.

With ample space for formal dining and relaxed seating, this room is ideal for entertaining in style. The ceiling is adorned with original decorative cornicing and window panelling and picture rails have been retained. Restful, neutral tones on the walls and carpeted floor add warmth to the room and will suit many styles of furnishing.

The immaculate decoration, period features and airy proportions continue next door in the bedroom which enjoys peaceful views of the garden. It is a lovely double room with space for a king bed and freestanding furnishing without compromising on floor space.

Nearby, the bathroom is classic and fresh with a white bath suite and shower over it, while the WC is nicely separate along the hall, passing two storage cupboards for coats and household items, ensuring the flat remains clutter free.

At the far end of the hall, the kitchen has been well-designed for the space to include plenty of storage alongside an integrated oven and induction hob, leaving space for an under-counter fridge freezer and a washing machine – which may be available by separate negotiation. A door opens to the garden, so you can spill outside for dining alfresco as the weather warms. Rendered and painted walls give the feel of a Mediterranean garden, while decking is low-maintenance, ready for the busy modern lifestyle. For the green fingered, you can add your own pop of colour and scent with potted plants and garden furniture to enjoy peaceful summer gatherings in high season.

Effortlessly elegant; this bright and airy flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. King Alfred Leisure Centre, Hove Museum and several popular parks and schools are accessible on foot, and the boutique shops, artisan cafés and award-winning restaurants are minutes away on Church Road. Also close to the social and cultural centre of Brighton, there is plenty to entertain you within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Hove Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
