** Guide Price £375,000 - £400,000 **At the heart of the City of Brighton and with exclusive views of The Royal Pavilion, this three bedroom, top floor apartment is an ideal holiday home or investment. Within moments of the sea and Lanes, and close to the station, this chain free beauty, brimming with character, is a perfect seaside base or glamorous weekend retreat.

When you walk through any city, especially down the high street; look up - you will almost always be amazed by the striking architecture found above the colourful shop fronts.

You approach down a short alley where your door with secure entry phone stands next to the shop front, and from here a staircase takes you up to the third floor. From the moment you open the door, you are revived by the glorious light streaming in through the sash windows and illuminating the crisp white walls. Having been fully refurbished throughout in recent months, the décor is contemporary and polished, and quality materials and workmanship have been used in its creation. Many original features have been retained and restored including a striking marble fireplace, but it is the sensational views which set this apartment aside from the rest.

From this level, you have a direct line of sight into the Pavilion Gardens, and palace's Indian inspired domes dominate the cityscape. Surrounding this are mature trees and a wide variety of architecture including the Art Deco building opposite. Bedroom three is next door sharing the same exquisite orientation, and each of these rooms has plush, dove grey carpet underfoot for added luxury.

The kitchen is conveniently accessed from here, and is a sleek space with seamless units in grey gloss. These are topped with solid oak, and for character, the splashbacks have a white tile in a herringbone design. While this is a compact kitchen, it has been well designed to allow for plenty of workspace, and the fridge with freezer top-box, the electric oven and induction hob have been integrated. Brand new brushed steel washing machine all plumbed in, and you have a historic city vista to peruse as you wash up.

The turning staircase from the communal hall has been continued inside, and takes you up to the bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. Pausing on the landing, you must take in the view to the rear, where paradoxically Brighton's newest landmark, the i360 stands piercing the skyline; a journey through time from east to west along the coast.

Each of the bedrooms are double, and they share the fine finish of the lower floor. Just one floor up, the views come into their own from the front, as now you can see the rolling hills of the South Downs behind the silhouette of the Pavilion's minarets – an absolute joy to wake to every morning. Next door, the glamourous bathroom is lined in Italian marble, and has a shower over the white bath suite which is atmospherically lit with hidden lighting strips. A large mirror bounces the light around further, and a chrome heated rail is wall mounted for your fluffy towels and old style radiators throughout.

From top to bottom this house exudes style, history and charm, and you couldn't be in a better location to experience Brighton at its best.
