With the sea at one end of this beautiful Regency terrace and the fabulous alfresco lifestyle of Kemptown at the other, this two bedroom apartment blends elegant period proportions and a contemporary finish. In a fashionable area with a Soho House, within walking distance of the cultural heart of the city and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London a few minutes by cab, it’s an ideal home or rental with a chance to purchase all of the apartments within the building. Spanning the whole of the ground floor of a handsome, historic building with a total of 66.05m2 (710 sq ft) in which to spread your wings, the layout is practical but perfect for glamorous seaside living with an elegant living room at the front and a central, fitted kitchen. The airy bathroom is fabulous and the spacious double bedrooms have fitted storage and don’t share a wall. Quieter than the chic location may suggest, it’s the perfect place for friends to gather before a day on the beach or night in the city and attracts professionals, commuters and international investors as it is within a 10 minute walk of Amex and its new pedestrian plaza, the County Hospital and The Lanes, and the station serving London and Gatwick is easy to reach by bus or cab.

Agent says:
“You can enjoy our sophisticated Brighton lifestyle to the full from this exclusive location which is far quieter than its central position may suggest. Ideal as a home, if you are looking for an investment it is a sensible one near major employers and university buildings, so a car wouldn’t be necessary, and there is also an opportunity to purchase all of the apartments in the building – if you’re quick!”
