1 bedroom apartment for sale

One of Brighton’s finest addresses 2 blocks from the sea and at the heart of the Western Road shopping district, this light and airy 1 bed garden apartment with glorious proportions, period charm and a contemporary flow is a rare find 10 mins walk from the beach and 15-17 mins on foot from Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London (or 5 by cab). On the ground floor of a Grade II listed Regency building precious period details include soaring ceilings and imposing fireplaces. Opened up for a sophisticated lifestyle, the living dining room kitchen have central folding doors to deliver flexible options and the quiet, private bedroom at the back opens to a romantic walled garden, ideal for al fresco entertaining.

Ideal for professionals, for holidays or for investors, surrounded by good schools both state and private (including Brighton Girls and Brighton College) and within a 10-12 minute radius of major employers including the Royal Sussex County Hospital, this stately apartment is also just a short walk or drive to the Clock Tower at the beating heart of Brighton, to the vibrant, picturesque North Laine and the fashionable bars, cafes and shops of 7 Dials – and its 7 routes into the whole of the city, out to the National Park or to the A23/A27 for Lewes, the coast and M23.

Set well back from this historic, tree lined street behind a spacious front garden, this 1840’s terraced building impresses with a grand entrance, now secured by answer phone. Inside the communal hall is clean and tidy and spanning the rest of the ground floor, the apartment’s hallway is carpeted to hush any footfall and there is a huge, under stair cupboard, so storage shouldn’t be an issue here.

Ahead, two graceful rooms of classic proportions have been sensitively joined with tall, central doors to leave options open if you wanted the living room to also be a private room for occasional guests for example. The ceiling rises to over 3.1m (approx.) and two statuesque fireplaces evoke the evolving history of this beautiful house. Big windows line the gentle bow of the west wall to bring in the sun and there is ample floorspace for relaxing, quiet companionship or for entertaining.



Looking east over the garden, the contemporary kitchen is stylish and well-planned so although it is sociable if you choose to keep the doors open, it doesn’t dominate the whole space and it’s ready for use with an integrated gas hob and oven beneath a hood, as well as a fridge and freezer.

Past a central bathroom which has all you need including a shower over the bath and natural light, the inviting bedroom at the back is of dual aspect, blissfully quiet and it is not overlooked. The door in the east wall opens to a romantic, walled oasis which is bathed with sunlight for most of the day as it is open to the south. Designed for easy maintenance it is paved for easy al fresco dining and the honeysuckle by the door scents both the tranquil retreat outside and the restful refuge within.
