2 bed Flat For Sale £400,000
Brimming with character, this deceptively spacious two-storey Victorian maisonette is also brilliantly located in Kemp Town Village. Well-designed, it offers a versatile layout which lends itself to professionals, sharers or family living, and its rooms are filled with natural light due to a sunny southerly aspect at the front. There are two double bedrooms and two reception rooms, plus a pretty roof terrace which becomes a lovely extension of the home during the warmer seasons. Inside, it has been modernised throughout – to include new roofing to the rear, but there remains some scope to put your own stamp on the place if need be. With several popular schools; a heady mix of restaurants, cafes & bars, and Kemp Town Beach within walking distance, this attractive property will appeal to many, so it is sure to be snapped up.
With its vibrant café culture, vintage shops and beach side location; Kemp Town Village has retained an air of 'cool' over the years which began during the mid 19th Century when the fashionable and wealthy flocked to live here from London. The area remains just as popular today and continues to be an inclusive and exciting part of the city to inhabit.
This upper floor maisonette sits above a commercial premises, and as the only residential property in the building, it has its own street entrance. Your door opens to a corridor with space for hanging coats and organising shoes, and a staircase leading up to the main body of the flat. Once inside, it is clearly a stylish and well-maintained home with interesting features and a unique layout.
From the top of the stairs, a double door opening leads through to a dining area which in turn leads out to the roof terrace via French doors. This space could have any number of uses as a work space, guest bedroom or formal dining, but there is ample space for a table in the living room too. Wood flooring, white walls and a skylight serve to brighten the room further, and natural light streams in from the east.
Outside, the decked roof terrace has space for barbecues and dining al fresco, plus there is a built-in banquette for outdoor seating. You can grow plants out here which will thrive in the sunshine which shines onto the terrace all day in summer when it is high in the sky.
Returning inside, the shower room is off the dining room, tucked away to the rear of the building. This has a contemporary finish throughout with a conical basin inlaid to a wash stand and alcove shelving has been created for toiletries and towels. The 'smart' combination gas boiler is also concealed in here and was recently fitted so it will last for many years to come.
From the landing, the kitchen is next on the left and is a sizable room offering a huge amount of storage in white cabinetry and comes fitted with all appliances – which can stay. There is a slim-line dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer and a mini tumble dryer, plus the gas hob and fan oven have been integrated. A tall bay sash window looks out to the roof terrace, so the views are private, and the chef can remain sociable with the windows open during summer.
Spanning the front of the building, the living room is light and airy due to its sunny aspect and a wide casement window almost covering the south facing wall. There is ample space for relaxation, entertaining and working in here, and a wood burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings.
Upstairs, there are two delightful double bedrooms on the top floor. These echo the foot print of the rooms below them, so to the rear, bedroom two has a bay sash window with 'chim-chiminey' views looking out over historic Brighton, while to the front, the principal bedroom is south facing. For somewhere so central, it is incredibly peaceful here, so you can always ensure a restful night's sleep.
From the upper landing, there is access to the loft which has been fully boarded and with a new roof it offers plenty of dry storage space. The current owner uses the space at the freeholders permission, and has the only access to the loft space. Please note there is potential to vary the lease after purchase, or subject to separate negotiations.
Agent's thoughts:
Hugely attractive with real character and a delightful roof terrace, this property will appeal to many. The location is also incredible for those looking to live the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle.
Owner's secret
"We have lived here for nearly 5-years and love the location as well as the flat. The roof terrace was a real blessing during the summer lockdown and we both had plenty of space to work from home too. It is a great home for entertaining, but it is equally relaxing, and considering we are very central within the city, it is really quiet up here. We will really miss Kemp Town, the beach and the convenience of the shops and bars, but we are looking for the next step on the ladder now."
