2 bed Flat For Sale £375,000
Light-filled, generous rooms greet you in this attractive and beautifully maintained two-bedroom apartment. It resides on the second floor of a substantial, Victorian villa, just moments from Brighton’s famous Floral Clock and Palmeira Square enclosures, so it is perfectly positioned to explore the city on foot. Ideal for professional sharers or families, the bedrooms are both double, and the décor is fresh and contemporary so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease. The versatile layout allows scope for further renovations should you wish to open up the kitchen to the generous entrance hall and dining area, or move the kitchen within the sizable living room, creating a third bedroom in its place – all food for thought! Every window has been replaced in the last year which has increased both sound and insulation and the entire flat has been redecorated and re-carpeted in this time too.

Why you’ll like it:
Built a few years later than the Regency homes on the square, the house within which this apartment sits has a traditional, Victorian feel to it, and is just as aesthetically pleasing. It is a substantial property with a beautiful façade in red brick, adorned with exquisite architectural detailing, and you approach down a driveway to the side of the building. These elegant features continue within the communal ways to tell the story of the building; of its grandeur in 1880 when it was one dwelling. Thankfully, these features have been faithfully restored to create a warm and welcoming entrance. Taking the stairs to the second floor, there are two striking stained-glass windows which are a joy to come home to, and the upper landing is shared by just one other apartment.
Once inside, it is clear this is a generous and stylish apartment. The entrance hall feels like a room in its own right, so it can be used as a dining area as it sits adjacent to the kitchen, or it could be ideal as a work space for those working from home. Warm cork flooring, dove-grey walls and contemporary furnishings create a great first-impression which continues in every room.
Picture windows run along the east and southerly sides of the building bringing in a vast amount of natural light. Each window has been replaced with uPVC double glazing after gaining both conservation area and listed building permissions, so the apartment is now both warm and wonderfully peaceful for somewhere so central. The living room is a generous space with ample room for relaxation, formal dining and a work space if required. Being elevated within the building, there is depth to the views with the windows framing the leafy local landscape below big, open skies. A low cupboard door opens to a vast eave storage space from here with room to stand. This is a huge bonus for a conversion apartment where storage is often lacking.
Next door, the master bedroom shares this sunny orientation, and is another airy room with space for a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding furniture. While bedroom two is slightly smaller, it would be fine for sharers and while it is a child’s room at present, it would happily house a double bed and freestanding bedroom furniture. There are extra built-in cupboards within the entrance hall – ideal for household items, coats, shoes or clothes.
At the south end of the apartment is the kitchen which has been well designed with units at both base and wall levels which have been paired with solid wood worktops to echo the original parquet flooring. Within these, the oven and gas hob have been integrated, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine.
At the opposite end of the hall, the bathroom is similarly stylish with bamboo flooring and bath panelling, and the walls are slate around the very generous bathtub. This is dual ended for comfortable bathing on either side, and the taps and shower are wall mounted.
Bursting with character, style and space, and positioned in one of the most sought-after locations in the city, this apartment needs to be seen to be admired.
Agent’s thoughts:
This apartment has a lovely feel to it from the moment you enter. The entrance hall is a huge bonus which brings versatility to the flat as a work space, dining are or play space for children, and the rooms are all fantastic sizes. The building is also well-maintained and quiet, and you cannot beat the location for the city lifestyle.
Owner’s secret
“We have adored every minute of living here as you have everything you need on your doorstep; whether you’re after evening entertainment, or parks and beaches, and you are right in the middle of the cultural and social centres of both Brighton and Hove. We moved here with one child which worked really well, but since our family has grown, we are now hankering for an extra bedroom and a garden. It’s been a really tough decision to move as we cannot think of anywhere better to live in the city, but it’s time for our next adventure as a family.”
