Peacefully positioned the top floor of a striking Grade II listed townhouse tucked away from Kemptown Seafront on Chesham Place, this attractive two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is a real gem. It has generous rooms with sash windows following the natural curve of the building which sits in a sought-after location with the beach beckoning at one end of the terrace. Ready for the modern lifestyle and entertaining in style, the interior is immaculate, where only the finest fittings and finishes have been used.

The relaxed café culture of Kemp Town Village is just moments around the corner, and it is within walking distance of The Amex Business Centre, Law Courts and the RSC Hospital as well as the historic heart of the city. Brighton Station is 25 minutes on foot or a short bus ride away with its fast service to Gatwick and London, and there’s no waiting list for this parking zone. It would be a hugely successful rental property for investors, or it will appeal to down sizers and professionals looking to live the quintessential Brighton lifestyle by the sea.

This generous two-bedroom apartment sits on the top floor of a striking townhouse in a uniform terrace close to Kemptown Seafront, with the iconic view of Brighton’s balustrades and the sparkling sea visible at the bottom of the road. Bearing the classic architectural features of the era, these buildings echo the grand Nash developments in London, putting Brighton on the map as one of the most sought-after places to live outside the capital. They are hugely attractive on the approach with cream curved facades and gleaming black railings which are regularly maintained by the residents. This building also enjoys a neat and clean communal hallway with stairs rising up to the top floor.

The door to this apartment opens first to an internal staircase rising to the main body of the flat, which is also spilt level, adding to the sense of space. Skylights and transom windows bring plenty of natural light into the space which is also decorated in pale neutrals which brightens it further.

Directly ahead, with a peaceful position to the rear of the building, the second bedroom is a generous double room with a tall sash window opening to the fire escape, framing views over the local historic landscape. The main bathroom is conveniently next door with a rainfall shower over the bath.

A few steps lead to the upper galleried landing which widens creating ample space for a sideboard or a desk for working from home. Opposite, the principal bedroom is a fantastic size room with space for a king size bed and freestanding furnishings without compromising on floor space. It also boasts a chic ensuite shower room with pale stone wall tiles and a roomy rainfall shower.

Spanning the front of the building, the living room is magnificent, inviting entertaining and relaxation in equal measure. From three sash windows you gain oblique sea views below open skies which are ever changing with the seasons. There is ample space for relaxation and formal dining, while a peninsula island has breakfast bar seating for informal drinks and dining. Period features are evident within the windows and the grand cast iron fireplace, and the kitchen has a modern take on a period theme with a duel fuel range cooker and metro brick tiles for splashbacks. Shaker cabinets offer plenty of storage at both base and wall levels with the appliances seamlessly integrated within them, so you can move in with relative ease.

This is a hugely desirable area with the city, Kemptown café culture and the beach on your doorstep, so this spacious apartment will appeal to many.

Owner’s thoughts:
“These are magnificent buildings with an air of grandeur and a sense of occasion which few others bring. We fell in love with the flat as soon as we walked in as it was so spacious and light with charming views and lovely big rooms. We have enjoyed renovating the space and it’s been ideal for entertaining and relaxing alike. You cannot beat the location either as Kemptown has a unique energy of its own within Brighton. It is diverse and welcoming with a real sense of community.”

During the 19th century, Brighton’s coastline was transformed from a quiet fishing village, to one of the most fashionable and wealthy towns in the country. From the early 1820s, these uniquely beautiful townhouses began lining the seafront and now 200 years later they remain just as popular.

This attractive apartment sits just seconds from the seafront, but nicely tucked away from the main road. Located in the fashionable Kemp Town Village with its eclectic shops, cafes and bars, the theatres and Lanes are also just a short walk. The lush green spaces of Queens Park are within easy reach and there are regular buses to the mainline station with its excellent links to Gatwick and London.
