Spread your wings in this spectacular two bedroom penthouse soaring above our electrifying, world famous city with a spacious roof terrace running along the whole of its east side. In one of the most exciting locations in our glittering metropolis which nestles between the South Downs National Park and the sea, this glamorous apartment one block from the beach delivers all the key elements of international loft style living with wooden floors, high ceilings and walls of glass. Both the stunning living space and private master bedroom enjoy the outside space and the high spec finish is also eco sensitive. Attracting international investors and professionals who work in the city, it is a 3 minute walk to the legal centres, 4 to Amex and 15 to the County Hospital. An enjoyable ramble down St James's Street or scenic stroll along the seafront will take you to the chic Lanes, art venues and legendary clubs, and if you need swift access to the airports, London or Portsmouth, the station is just 5 minutes by cab.

Chic and central, now is the time to buy this fabulous apartment where the entrance is on a relatively quiet one way street with a small park, and which has the vibrant shops and bars of St James's Street at one end and the new Amex pedestrian plaza under construction at the other. Completed in 2016 – and with 5 years still left on the new build warranty - this secure block has a video entry system on each floor, all windows and doors are double glazed, solar panels pay for the sensor lit communal halls and inside a lift awaits to whisk you to the fourth floor.

Inside, it is easy to shake off the stress of the day in a hushed hallway which has a large storage area by the front door as well as a deep cupboard stretching to the ceiling which is high. Ahead, the stunning living space is designer led and invites company with an enormous 7.65m x 6.11m to play with and create defined areas for relaxing and dining. Full of light, the far wall is almost filled by windows and opens to the private roof terrace which runs along the whole of the east side of this spacious home, ideal for the al fresco lifestyle embraced by our sunny seaside resort. Top secret, no one will know you are there and it is party perfect with open views and lighting in place.

A chefs paradise, the unusually generous Symphony 'New York' range kitchen area is sociable but as the room is so large it does not dominate the space. Skilfully planned and beautifully executed, high spec integrated appliances include a gas hob with lit hood, electric and combi ovens, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer drier and the streamlined units, silestone surfaces and dramatic glass splashback add a designer finish.

Central to the apartment, the master bedroom is a airy sanctuary to return to, facing east for uninterrupted morning sun as there are only lower buildings behind, and it has direct access to the outside space for private nightcaps and breakfast on the terrace. Across the hall, the luxury bathroom is designed to soothe and refresh with both a shower attachment on the contemporary bath as well as a rainfall head above. Ideal for guests or sharers, the second generous bedroom is light and inviting with fitted wardrobes. By the front door so they can come and go without disturbing the main apartment if they are out or working late, they will also love the chic en suite shower room.

Agent says:

"You won't need to change a thing in this stylish penthouse in a great, central position near the beach- and it would also be a secure lock up and leave."

Owner's secret:

"This location is ideal with the sea and the city on your doorstep and although we value the privacy within the apartment, it is a very welcoming block – we even have a Facebook group to chat on!"
