Brighton is famous for its stately Regency terraces which step down to the
sea, and this apartment is in an historic quarter of the city favoured by
celebrities with a laid back atmosphere, ample permit parking and plenty of
local amenities to explore including a weekly farmer’s market. Towards the
middle of the terrace and on the second floor, it is sheltered from and high
above traffic and with an entry system securing the imposing entrance first
impressions are good. Inside, the communal hallway is clean and tidy and the
integrity of the building has been preserved as the original staircase sweeps
up to the second floor and the front door to this apartment.
Spreading its wings from east to west to bring in the Sussex sunshine, a
central hallway is bright and cheerful with reassuringly thick carpet and
underlay. Ahead, the spacious reception is a skilled blend of Regency
proportion with stylish contemporary design. Three big windows line the curve
of the east wall to bring in views along the neo - classical terrace opposite
to the sea and have newly installed radiators in a style which is in keeping
with the age of the building. There is a handsome, marble fireplace to enjoy
with friends and family and stepped up from the rest of the room and set
behind a companiable breakfast bar which will comfortably seat 4, the working
area of kitchen is sociable but doesn’t dominate the whole room. A timeless
beauty, coloured shaker units conceal organised storage and are topped by
attractive but practical surfaces which match the splashbacks. Skilfully
designed, there is a designated space with plumbing for a washing machine and
brand new integrated appliances include a gas hob and electric oven beneath a
hood, and a dishwasher. A thoughtful touch has more shaker style cabinets in
the living/dining area, providing extra storage and also a spot where the
power for a tall fridge freezer can be fed through so unseen.
Quiet at the back with views over a sea of green so you won’t feel hemmed in,
the comfortable double bedroom has plenty of space to play with, the thick
carpet in the hallway continuing in here. Next door and central to the
apartment, the luxury shower room has a Georgian influence but is right on
trend with a large, walk in shower with a dual head, warming rail for towels
and traditional cabinet beneath the ceramic hand basin.
