With the grace and space of a Georgian original, this charming three bedroom beach house is tucked away 2 minutes from the sea which you can enjoy from a generous roof terrace with panoramic views. A west balcony has a pretty canopy so you can use it at any time of year and inside, the beautiful interior delivers a sophisticated lifestyle so skilfully that it featured in Latest Homes Magazine. Between the international waterfront restaurants, bars and cinemas of the Marina and Kemptown Village, famous for its café culture, friendly amenities and Brighton College, the cosmopolitan shopping, bistros and art venues of our famous coastal resort are easy to reach on foot, by bus or by cab - and with the hospital and station easy to reach, this immaculate property will appeal to professionals, commuters and investors.

In one of the most sought after areas of our coastal resort with everything, including the beach and a 60 acre park on your doorstep, this hidden gem has big bright rooms and a sociable flow. Inside, practical planning has an inviting hallway with a cloakroom tucked away, and gleaming flooring continues through into a sunny kitchen with a broad west bay for a dining table. A timeless classic of wood units and tiled working surface it is ready to go with an integrated gas hob, electric oven and hood to keep things fragrant, and plumbing is already in place for a dishwasher. A modern home with a luxury finish, there is a separate utility with natural light and further storage at the end of the hall.

Up past a characterful porthole window, an elegant reception extends across the full front of the house with French windows which opens to the canopied balcony with refreshing leafy views – surprising in this historic quarter secreted behind one of Kemp's Regency seafront terraces. Ideal for sophisticated entertaining there is plenty of floor space to play with as well as a choice of lighting levels, whilst discreet touch open cupboards keep the clean lines flowing.

Next door, the first of the double bedrooms is ideal for guests as it is quiet at the back, so much so that it is currently used as a comfortable home office.

On the second floor, the second of the double bedrooms is also a study as both owners work from home. A convenient, central bathroom has style, storage and a skylight so you can bathe in glory beneath the stars or get the day started under the revitalising shower. Beautifully serene, the spacious principle bedroom offers a tranquil haven in which to rest and with calm decoration, you won't need to change a thing.

Up on the roof, with easy access – past storage for al fresco necessities- the jewel in the crown of this delightful home is the big, sunny roof terrace. Glorious views span 3600 from Downland to the Marina and open sea, and then sweep on across historic homes with gardens to the fluted columns of Sussex Square.

Agent says:

"This secret gem has all the advantages of a spacious modern home but with archetypal Brighton style. Professionals, families and investors like this location close to the Hospital, Amex and Brighton College -especially with the planned improvements to the neighbouring Black Rock."

Owner's secret:

"We have the best of both worlds with both the sea and the countryside close by – but in a private, sheltered one way street so we escape the crowds. During summer, the roof terrace becomes the main room – we have breakfast and lunch there, and we can watch for friends arriving for supper from the balcony in the evening sunshine."
