5 bed Flat For Sale £1,250,000
**Guide Price 1,250,000 - £1,350,000**
Majestic proportions reign supreme in this magnificent home which spans the major portion of a Regency, bow fronted mansion built by Thomas Cubitt between 1837-1855. Inside a fabulous collaboration between the current owner and world famous design studio David Collins has created a uniquely beautiful interior whilst retaining precious period detail which includes an exceptionally inviting hallway - most of the atmospheric original. Outside there's an east facing balcony with sea views and a rare west facing dining terrace to enjoy in a chic location with the beach at one end of the Grade II listed terrace and café culture of Kemptown Village at the other. Ideal as a home or holiday destination, with the County Hospital and Brighton College a stroll and Brighton Station easy to reach, it will also be of interest to investors.
Designed and built by Thomas Cubitt on his own land, the graceful bow fronted terraces of Eaton Place sweep to the sea, their grand entrances now secured by answer phone systems. One of only a few Regency houses which have retained most of their original form, this breath-taking home also incorporates some of the Regency entrance hall, so there's an immediate sense of the grandeur of these mansions, part of Kemps vision of 'Belgravia by the sea' and acknowledged by its Grade II listing as an important architectural jewel in Brighton's crown.
The summer room and west terrace
Shimmering in the colours of the etched glass doors, sunshine streams into the summer room through a broad south bay and ahead, tall French doors open to a sunny roof terrace large enough for al fresco entertaining whilst enjoying the surrounding gardens. Introducing the underlying commitment to thoughtful design evident in the sensitive reinvention of this house, the terrace has ambient lighting inset into eco-friendly decking, perfect for supper parties.
The first floor reception
Opening to an intricately wrought, east facing balcony and with glorious proportions, the beautiful reception enjoys views to the sea – a timeless attraction of this coastal resort- and as the triple windows stretch from the high ceiling to quality carpeted floor, you can also enjoy the winter storms whilst sitting in comfort by the majestic marble fireplace which now houses a flame effect gas fire. Flawlessly elegant, delicate plaster work follows the curve of the bow front, original shutters adorn all three windows and uniquely, the central panel of glass sweeps upwards in its entirety into the fabric of the building, bringing the outside in.
The kitchen diner and formal dining room
Seamlessly blending old with new, the streamlined Italian kitchen conceals sophisticated storage and has a discreet choice of lighting levels. Tucked behind stately central doors which keep your options open, the historic frieze and marble fireplace bring both character and warmth to add to the welcoming feel whilst polished stone surfaces segue into a dining table where friends can join you. A chef's delight as it's beautifully planned, high spec appliances include a Smeg 5 ring gas hob, De Dietrich hood, a combi and fan oven, and its ready for use as both the tall fridge and dishwasher are also integrated.
Nearby, the formal dining room is private, and lined with windows it is light and inviting. The subtle heritage colours used in the decoration continue in this classic space which has also been used by past custodians of this special home as a double bedroom, as a stylish cloakroom just on the next landing.
The Principal suite
Spanning the whole of the second floor the serene principal suite is all about well- deserved relaxation in a magnificent setting. Triple windows with shutters to bring privacy face east for the morning sun and frame views across the listed terrace to the glittering sea. Restfully proportioned with a handsome fireplace it's a peaceful haven to return to, and the faultless design continues in the dressing room, lined with handcrafted cabinets which leads to the spacious en suite. With glistening bespoke tiles a fabulous freestanding baignoir and traditional fittings, the bathroom is luxurious but tastefully complements the period setting.
The guest floor
At the top of a hidden staircase with a glamorous bespoke handrail this house really spreads its wings where a central landing beneath a skylight provides discrete, romantic rooms for family and guests as well as a discreet utility room where you need it -close to bedrooms.
Large and light, a timeless bathroom has a cast iron claw foot bath and antique towel rail acknowledging the age of the building whilst the fabulous wet room style shower and Villeroy and Boch hand basin with Albion fittings embrace this charming home's future.
Two delightful double bedrooms at the front of the house have evocative period features and one still enjoys restorative views of the English Channel. Calm and quiet at the back, the fourth double bedroom is beguiling and with open views it isn't overlooked.
Agent's thoughts
This uniquely beautiful historic home has sea views on every floor, and the team of interior designers has worked on international celebrity homes including Madonna and Tom Ford, so this is a special buy.
Owner's secret
"This is a magical retreat with a calm atmosphere, beautiful proportions and unique original features. Every room is welcoming and our friends love dining on our private terrace or watching the ever changing sea from the balcony on summer evenings."
