* Guide Price £350,000 - £375,000 *

Good to go with stunning sea views over fashionable Kemptown Village this top floor 1 bed apartment with a rare garage is a fabulous find with beautiful interiors and potential to reinstate a spacious, second double bedroom. In an exclusive block with a lift, it’s just 3 mins walk from the County Hospital and 5 from beaches with café bars, a lido, volleyball courts and a yoga centre. Sunshine streams through this private luxury home where all of the main rooms enjoy a picture perfect coastal vista. Ideal for professionals, investors or a small family, local amenities open early and close late, schools are good and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Lewes, Gatwick and London are 7 minutes by cab (15 by bus). On the prime southeast corner, the sophisticated living room and dining room frame a magnificent seascape, a streamlined, contemporary kitchen is good to go whilst the elegant principal bedroom with custom made fitted wardrobes is opposite a high end bathroom. Quietly tucked away but with a vibrant café culture and highly regarded Brighton College on the doorstep, this building offers an internal bike store/storeroom and ‘Friends’ style communal laundry. One of the most sought after spots in the city, the waterfront restaurants of the Marina are easy to reach, a scenic 15-20 minute stroll along the seafront takes you to the picturesque Lanes– and now is the time to buy with major improvements taking place along the seafront.

This sought after purpose built block couldn't be better situated being as it is close to the independent shops and amenities of Kemptown Village, the amazing bus service, the main hospital, schools and, of course, the grand architecture including, as viewed from the flat, the Regency period church of St. George, Brighton Palace Pier and glorious sunsets.

This well-maintained building sits on a hill on a quiet street surrounded by trees. This rarely available flat occupies the top floor on the south-east corner and is spacious as a one bedroom apartment but could equally incorporate a second bedroom in what is now the dining room/study area – an option taken up by many of the flats and which the original design of the building allowed for.

An additional bonus of this property is the larger than average garage within the building itself. On the lower ground floor with plenty of space for storage and access through the hall to the lift, the garage benefits from it's own power supply – useful for installing a car charger and has a remote control garage door. This floor also has additional communal storage; a spacious laundry room with large washers and dryers and access to the back door.

The ground floor lobby is well cared for as are the communal areas and when the lift arrives on the top floor it opens to an attractive lobby with extensive views. A door opens to an inner lobby which ensures
a quiet entrance.

Entering the flat there is a large floor to ceiling closet with plenty of space for coats, shoes and general storage.
In addition, further along the hall, there are two additional built-in cupboards.

The biggest delight is the glorious panoramic vista which come into view the moment you step into the living and dining room seen through the south facing windows with the roof tops of Kemptown and the sea and sky beyond. The living room area has been purposefully kept neutral in decor to allow the views to be the main feature and the ever changing sky and sea provide a backdrop that is hard to compete with!

Next door is the contemporary kitchen with practical work areas, a well-planned layout and an east facing window through which the morning sun streams in. There is a dishwasher and space and plumbing for a washing machine should it be required.

The generous sized bedroom with room enough for a king size bed is a quiet retreat which is not directly overlooked and enjoys captivating ocean views framed by the rooftops below and built in wardrobes provide plenty of space. Just across the hall is the attractive bathroom with a shower above the bath; a hand basin with vanity unit below and a lit cabinet above and a heated towel rail.

Owner's Thoughts

Quiet and private with glorious views come rain or shine, the location is hard to beat There is always something to do or see whatever your mood. With excellent transport or a brisk stroll along the seafront the city is easily within reach with it's vibrant nightlife, concerts, theatre and restaurants but, closer to home, the local cafes are a great way to catch up with friends when not entertaining at home. Being so close to the sea and the amenities of the seafront is such a tonic.
