Why you’ll like it:
If you have a busy lifestyle this is the perfect retreat, tucked away in a well -connected, gated community in a great area with a laid back, social vibe. Architect designed so the entertaining rooms are elevated for uninterrupted light and great views, as end of terrace sunlight streams through the house from windows to the east, south and west and there’s secure outside storage for luggage drops or bikes.

Inside, the hallway is hushed and the first of the quiet bedrooms is at the front. A generous single with open views across the courtyard, it could be used as a private home office/consulting room where visitors wouldn’t disturb the rest of the house. Next door, the central bathroom has a shower above the contemporary bath, and touches of luxury include designer tiling and a lit mirror above the vanity unit.

At the back of the house, the guest room is bright and cheerful with 3.6 x 3.0m (11’10 x 9’11) to relax in and sliding doors out to a private patio, pet secure. Ideal for morning coffee, there’s also a bespoke shed/workshop which could stay.
Enjoy the space of the 1st floor principal suite which embraces the Sussex sunshine with a window to the south and extends into a broad box bay where you can enjoy the sunsets.
Spanning the full width of the building, 4.7 x 3.8m (15’6 x 12’7) it’s a dream come true with a wall of wardrobes to fill and a dressing area, lined with more storage, leads to a chic shower room.

At the heart of the home, sunshine streams through the large living dining room through three sides – and there’s a west facing balcony ideal for friends to spill out to. A classic beauty with crisp white walls and wood flooring underfoot, there is ample space in which to work, rest or play. With 4.7 x 3.8m (15’6 x 12’7) in the living area and 3.0 x 2.5m (9’11 x 8’3) in the dining area, some neighbours have created a 4th bedroom in the dining area, stnc.

The kitchen breakfast room on the top floor is spectacular as the west wall of glass sweeps open to the large roof terrace with views south to the sea and west across the peaceful courtyard. With streamlined, high gloss units, practical working surfaces and a choice of lighting levels (don’t miss the mini spotlights which look like stars!) it’s good to go with space for an informal table. Integrated appliances include a touch induction hob, a combi and a fan oven at eye level, a fridge and freezer - and the vendors are willing to discuss the fabulous Fisher & Paykel dishwasher.

Outside, the roof terrace is a rare, west facing sun trap open to the south with views to the glittering sea. An oasis of calm, it’s the ideal spot to soak up the quietude of its unique mews location where it’s easy to forget that you’re within walking distance of the vibrant city centre, although with 4.7 x 3.9m (15’5 x 12’10) it’s also perfect for the sociable, al fresco lifestyle Brighton is famous for!

Agent says:
“Good to go with no chain, this fabulous retreat with a stylish finish both inside and out is a great home or investment with the sea, parks and hospital only a few minutes away on foot and the city centre just a short drive.”

Owner’s secret:
“We’ve loved living here - there is something fabulous about having living spaces up in the light, with cosy bedrooms below. The mews is very private and quiet, while the security it offers suits a busy lifestyle. Although the patio is a lovely place to join guests for a relaxed morning coffee, it’s great to spend time with friends on the roof terrace. There is easy access to all that Brighton has to offer - there really is something for everyone - as well as almost 24hr transport links to the stations. Having a secure parking space is a huge benefit too."
