In an exclusive location opposite the leafy Level, 4 mins walk from the famous North Laine and 10 mins from both the sea and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London, this luxury, three bed apartment with a spacious home office and access to landscaped, communal gardens offers a sophisticated coastal lifestyle. Brighton’s iconic Grade II,1895 Technical College roared into the 21st century in a skilled 2001 conversion to create quiet, loft style city homes ideal for professionals, small families and investors. Maintenance charges deliver a host of services which include manicured grounds, gated bike store, 24 hour security and a daytime concierge who can take in deliveries, let in workmen and can usually help organise emergency repairs in your absence.
Inside offers a social, open plan lifestyle where a glamorous living dining area and streamlined kitchen span the full depth of the apartment whilst upstairs, a galleried 2nd reception is a private area currently used as a space to work from home. With open views sweeping through a floor to ceiling arched window, the first of the double bedrooms is a restful retreat ideal for a child, a guest or sharer as there’s a stylish shower room next door. Peaceful and private at the top, the principal suite is a dream come true with a walk in closet and chic en-suite bathroom.

Within walking distance of the legendary cafes, arts venues and restaurants surrounding the Royal Pavilion and a scenic stroll through fountained gardens to the pier and beach bars, this location is close to art colleges as well as major employers including Amex, the Law Courts, Brighton General Hospital and the County Hospital. For commuters by bus or car, access out of the city to the National Park or to the A23/A27 is swift.

Built in glorious Renaissance style with a grand, secure entrance where the concierge is ready to meet and greet, this prestigious development at the heart of our international coastal city has created luxury homes which embrace the history of the building whilst incorporating the best that the 21st century has to offer – including hard wired CAT 5 in every room of the apartments.
Through an impressive communal hallway with original Terrazzo floor and sweeping staircase this apartment on the first floor is on a hushed wing which was part of the technical drawing room –where light was of prime importance.

Inside, a broad hallway has storage and ahead, the stunning, open plan living dining room basks in sunlight which streams through two south facing, arched windows which soar to over 3 meters - but still do not reach the apex of the vaulted ceiling of this glorious space. Inviting company with no neighbour looking in, ample floorspace to zone, and classic oak underfoot, there’s a choice of ambient lighting levels and the kitchen is tucked into its own space, so although sociable it doesn’t dominate this level.

Perfect for everyday but also for parties, streamlined units are topped by natural wood sourced from the original building and good to go, integrated appliances include a 5 ring hob and electric oven beneath a hood, a fridge, a freezer, and both a dishwasher and washing machine.

Upstairs, the private, mezzanine reception has a glass and steel balustrade to ensure you can enjoy the Sussex sunshine even whilst seated, and stretching from side to size of the apartment this is a versatile space to use as you like – it is currently a secluded home office.

Also on this level, the first of the double bedrooms is a restful retreat where an arch window stretches from floor to ceiling and its an ideal bolt hole for family, guests or sharers as there is a chic shower room next door.

Very quiet at the top, the principal bedroom suite is a stylish sanctuary spanning the apartment from front to back, with a deep walk in closet and a spacious bathroom with underfloor heating and a Velux in the roofline, whilst twin dormers in the bedroom frame wonderful views over a cityscape which is restful by day and which glitters at night.
The large communal gardens, reached through the main college building are expertly landscaped to offer sun or shade. A social hub where neighbours say hello, so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to the city, there is also plenty of space for al fresco entertaining as it is the perfect location for friends to gather before exploring all our lively coastal city has to offer.

Agent says:
“Amazingly quiet, full of light and ready to move into, this spacious apartment brings sophisticated city living to the coast.”

Owner’s secret:
“Light and airy in the summer and a warm, welcoming refuge during winter we’ve loved the light and the space here which is ideal for enjoying together or for entertaining. We have loved the choice between being sociable in the gardens – where people always say hello- meeting in one of the many restaurants surrounding the Level or having a quiet supper here after work. It is unusually private for an apartment so close to the centre - and you’ll sleep well in the quiet bedrooms! We chose the apartment as young professionals because it balanced work, proximity to the station and ease of meeting friends for the cinemas, theatres and bars – including those on the beach- but it has also worked well for us as a young family as the Level has a park, café and fountain paddling pool, and there are local shops within a 5 min walk so it’s not a major problem if we run out of something.”

What’s around you:
Shops: North Laine 4 mins, 24/7 Budgens 5 mins walk
Train Station: Brighton 10 minutes on foot
Seafront or Park: Level is opposite, the beach is under a 10 minutes’ walk

Closest schools:
Primary: St Bartholomew’s C of E
Secondary: Varndean and Dorothy Stringer
Private: Brighton College

In one of the most sought after areas of the city directly opposite The Level’s open spaces, exhibition centre and friendly community of dog walkers, joggers and families you are also surrounded by the legendary shopping, international restaurants, fashionable bars and lively arts venues of North Laine - although the whole of Brighton & Hove is easy to reach on foot, by bus or by car. With the beach, beach bars and pier a scenic stroll through historic gardens with fountains, this is also a great central spot within walking distance of art colleges, language schools and university buildings, as well within an 8 minute radius of major employers like the Royal Sussex Hospital, legal centres and Amex. The main station serving Gatwick and London is a 10 minute walk making commuting possible, both the A23 and A27 are easy to reach and there is a secure bike store as well as permit parking.
