1 bed Flat For Sale £550,000
Tucked away from the hubbub of Western Road and Seven Dials, while remaining in close walking distance, stand the Grade II listed townhouses of Norfolk Terrace. This exceptionally spacious one-bedroom garden flat is formed from the entire ground floor of one, so it has the soaring ceilings and original features that this period affords. Beautifully maintained and renovated in keeping with the character of the building, this is a luxurious home which is ready for the modern lifestyle. There is a generous walled garden to the rear, reminiscent of an Italian garden with stone paving to echo the interior rooms. Facing east to the front with full height windows, the apartment is naturally light, plus its slight elevation from the street ensures its privacy. The proximity to the beach and Brighton Station will also appeal to commuters and investors alike, all looking to buy a slice of the precious Brighton & Hove lifestyle.

Why you’ll like it:
These magnificent townhouses were built in the 1850s; a time when Brighton had become the most fashionable place to live outside the capital. The fresh sea air, beautiful architecture and vibrant social scene were huge attractions for many, and they continue to be so today – over 150 year later. Almost all have been converted into sizable apartments such as this, which take full advantage of the generous proportions and features these stately homes bring.
Immaculate in cream, the exterior of this elegant building bears intricate architectural details have been brought back to their former glory. Entering through the portico entrance to neat communal hallways, the scale and beauty of the house become apparent. The door to this apartment is clearly numbered and stepping inside, the original period features are already evident within the entrance vestibule. Ornate door furniture gleams in solid brass, offering the first sign that this is a beautifully maintained apartment. There is a deep cupboard in the hall for coats and shoes, while the bathroom is ahead.
Contemporary styling and soothing lighting set the mood in the bathroom which has porcelain marbled stone tiles rising up the walls from the floor. The double width shower has a rainfall shower head to truly revive you in the morning, while there is a tall chrome rail to warm you and your towels during the cooler seasons.
Moving through to the elegant sitting room, you gain the first views of the west facing garden via two sets of full height French doors with beautiful transom window panes bringing in rays of sunshine due to their design. Large scale stone floor tiles link the inside and outside seamlessly, so the garden becomes a wonderful, and private, extension of the home during the summer months. Creamy calico walls offer a soft and neutral palette below the intricate cornices which wend their way around the soaring ceiling. A room of this size allows for larger pieces of furniture to include a dining table and chairs and sumptuous sofas where you can cosy up around the fire – inset to a Regency marble mantelpiece.
Adjoining the sitting room, the kitchen is streamlined and contemporary in contrast. Handle-free cabinetry is up-lit by coloured LEDs and paired with stone worktops with a stylish shark-nose edge. The oven, gas hob, fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher are integrated for you, so you can move straight in with relative ease.
Moving through the apartment stone floors make way for chevron parquet in the bedroom which echoes the size and shape of the sitting room, yet with an easterly aspect. Its graciously tall windows are casement in style framing leafy views of the mature trees opposite, and there is another marble fireplace to mirror the one in the sitting room. There are bespoke built-in wardrobes which maximise the floor space, yet even with a king size, four-poster bed, the floor space is not compromised in the slightest.
Outside, the garden is very generous in size for a city centre property. It has retained some original flint walling below contemporary baton fencing and it does not feel overlooked from the rear due to lever planting. With a westerly aspect it catches the last of the summer sunshine and is a wonderful sport for dining alfresco or entertaining friends.
Agent’s thoughts:
It is the sheer scale of the rooms and the space available which impresses from the moment you enter. It is also naturally light, and the garden is divine. The property has been expertly maintained over the years celebrating its many original features, so it really needs to be seen to be admired.
