House For Sale £685,000
Two minutes from the seafront, and with access to the Sussex Square gardens, this unique three bedroom maisonette with two private outside areas for an al fresco lifestyle blends dynamic contemporary design with period charm. Once serving the Grade I listed mansion on Arundel Terrace to which it remains attached, with its own entrance and three levels it looks and feels more like a house, and the flexible accommodation includes a spacious reception, stylish kitchen diner, mezzanine study beneath skylights and quiet bedrooms on the lower floor one of which is the principle, en suite. On a quiet one way street 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, art venues and station of our famous coastal resort are easy to reach on foot, by bus or by cab - and with the hospital nearby, this immaculate property will appeal to professionals, commuters and investors.
In one of the most sought after areas of our coastal resort with the beach, local amenities, Marina and a 60 acre park on your doorstep, this hidden gem has all the privacy and square footage you could dream of. Beyond the discreet front door, the lit walkway is inviting leading beneath a pergola to the main entrance and a broad terrace large enough for a table and chairs -and there is also a staircase to the lower courtyard and doorway to the bedroom level, raising interesting possibilities and ideal if you are sharing with health or other professionals who can come and go at unsocial hours without disturbing the rest of the home.
On the ground floor, the living room has timeless appeal with solid wood underfoot, a high ceiling and open layout so sunlight streams in from all directions, through stately sash windows and soaring skylights – one tall enough to incorporate an attic area. Dimmer switches allow a choice of ambient lighting and there is ample floorspace in which to relax or enjoy with friends. This L shaped building wraps around the generous outside space, and skilful design has a few broad steps down to a spacious kitchen diner lined with windows in the west wall which reach the ceiling and open to the front terrace – perfect for handing out cold drinks. User friendly, painted units have wood surfaces which become a sociable breakfast bar and the high spec gas hob, oven, hood and dishwasher are integrated whilst the American style fridge freezer could stay, subject to circumstance.
A paddle ladder by extra built in storage leads up to a vaulted mezzanine level which benefits from the big windows in the kitchen as well as skylights of its own, and with plenty of power and cable points - even in the floor- you can work from home in comfort as well as style.
Downstairs, an inner lobby with a large cupboard opens to a bright passageway with French doors to a secluded courtyard, child and pet secure if you put a gate across the steps, with a handmade mosaic, lighting and deep cavern which some similar properties have incorporated into the accomodation. Completely private, a single and double bedroom look over the courtyard at the front and share a stylish bathroom which has a wand attachment on the bath and cupboard concealing plumbing for a washer/drier. At the back, Regency romance is brought to life in a beautifully proportioned principle bedroom suite. With a window almost filling the far wall it is light and airy with plentiful fitted wardrobes and a chic en suite designed to soothe.
Agent says:
"This secret gem has all the advantages of a spacious modern flow but with archetypal historic 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 sheltered one way street we escape the crowds. During summer, the terrace becomes the main room – we have lunch and supper there, and our guests can have private breakfasts in the courtyard in the morning."
