1 bed Flat For Sale, St. James's Avenue, Brighton BN2

Description

Tucked away from the tourist trail but just one block from the sea, this big, one bedroom apartment is central and stylish, up on the first floor within a stately 1890’s, tree lined terrace which steps down to the chic shops, cafés and bars of world famous St James’s Street. Inside, its glory extends from east to west allowing light to stream through, and hearts will flutter at the generous proportions which allow plenty of space in which to work, rest or play. There’s an easy flow from the living room – with original frieze and handsome fireplace- into an unusually large kitchen (2nd bedroom STC?), the big double bedroom is not directly overlooked with two alcoves for wardrobes and the bathroom is light and contemporary. Currently let, Kemptown attracts international investors and professionals who work in the city as it is a 5 minute walk to Amex (and new pedestrian plaza) 7 to the legal centres and about 10 to the County Hospital. An enjoyable ramble down the street or scenic stroll along the seafront will take you to the picturesque Lanes, famous art venues or clubs, and if you need swift access to the airports, London or Portsmouth, the station is just 5 minutes by cab.

With an exclusive address where properties simply don’t appear on the market very often, this majestic, terraced house impresses with a beautiful arched entrance which is set up and back from the leafy road with a broad door flanked by stained glass windows. Guests can enjoy the sea sparkling less than 400 yards away at the bottom of the hill as they press the bell to the secure answer system, which allows access to a hushed communal hall where the integrity of this historic building has been kept with a period cornice and original, broad staircase leading to only two apartments.

Up on the first floor, a spacious hallway introduces the skilled interior design which subtly blends current regulations with seaside details and historic proportion - the soaring ceilings have electric fire sensors installed, the fire doors have portholes whilst the atmospheric colour scheme is absolutely timeless. The sunny reception has a glorious bay window almost filling the east wall to frame the change of the seasons thanks to the magnificent tree outside, (but obliquely, so your light isn’t compromised) and in winter you get a precious glimpse of the English Channel. With ample space to create defined areas in which to work, relax or enjoy life opening up again with friends and family, tasteful décor keeps the focus firmly on the gracious dimensions, elegant handmade frieze overhead and attractive fireplace.

Next door you really appreciate the extra breathing space these immense Victorian Villas deliver in a bright, cheerful and spacious kitchen which with a few tweaks could actually increase the already huge amount of storage but also provide space to eat in – and add value - or could even become a second bedroom if you relocated the kitchen to the front room, STC. Good to go as it is though, integrated appliances include an electric hob and oven beneath a hood, there is space for an undercounter fridge and plumbing is in place for a washing machine.

Quietly at the back, the double bedroom is a private haven to return to at the end of a busy day with garden views and lower rooftops behind, so it isn’t directly overlooked. With fitted wardrobes – and plenty of floorspace even with a double bed in it, you can move straight in. By it, a light and airy bathroom has two windows and a stylish modern suite with a shower above the bath so it is ready to serve all you needs.

Agent says:

“Close to the seafront this stylish apartment offers the best of the Brighton lifestyle in a vibrant, central position, but is privately tucked away.”

Sunday mornings are really relaxing as you’re never far from coffee, a croissant or cooked breakfast and the bars and restaurants lining St James’s Street and the seafront are very friendly, so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to Brighton.”
