For somewhere so central, West Hill Conservation Area is uniquely peaceful as its streets sit tucked away from the main hubbub of Seven Dials and Brighton City Centre. This apartment sits within a beautiful townhouse on Buckingham Road, bearing some of the most exquisite architectural features of the era, to include full height box bay windows, decorative mouldings and glossy black Juliet balconies and railings. Steps lead up to the main front door where access to this apartment is on the ground floor to the right.

Once inside, it is immediately clear this is a beautifully renovated property with a fresh, neutral palette and incredibly high ceilings, adding to the feeling of space. The eye is initially drawn to the living room spanning the front of the building due to the incredible window almost covering the north-westerly wall. This creates the perfect space for a dining table and chairs, where in summer, you can have the window open with the safety of the Juliet balcony, allowing the cool breeze to flow through the flat. Inside, there is ample space for relaxation or entertaining, and being elevated slightly from the street, it feels private.

Mirroring the living room, the bedroom is a lovely size, where the restful décor and airy proportions continue. Bespoke ply wardrobes have been built into the alcoves, providing a wealth of clothes and shoes storage for two while maximising the floor space. Conveniently nearby, the bathroom has been carefully designed with both form and function in mind. Black framed shower doors paired with a streamlined vanity units and a terrazzo hand basin are on trend, while oblong wall tiles and a rainfall shower bring a modern take to an older style. At the far end of the corridor, passing more storage, the kitchen opens to the garden. Once again, the cabinetry has been hand built using ply for a contemporary, urban edge to seamlessly conceal the appliances. From here, steps lead down to the glorious garden which becomes a wonderful extension of the home during the warmer seasons. Set to lawn with well-established borders filled with colour and scent, there is also a decked seating area for dining alfresco as the sun sets. It is simply joyful out here and a huge bonus when living in the city centre.

This beautiful home is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
