2 bed Flat For Sale £450,000
In an exclusive terrace looking over the playing fields of Brighton College to the sea, this immaculate two bedroom maisonette has elegant, sunlit rooms over two floors with leafy views to both the front and back making it private – and there is a sunny balcony from which to enjoy the birdsong. With gracious proportions and a total of 83m2 (893 sq ft) to enjoy it is a quiet retreat where a spacious reception invites company at any time of year with a wood burning stove and a sociable, eat in kitchen which has a stylish finish. The guest bedroom is a restful refuge ideal for sharers too as it does not share a wall with the principal, and the luxury shower room has a flawless finish. Spanning from east to west with a window snug to frame an open vista which sweeps to the English Channel, the vaulted principal room is a serene sanctuary with discreet storage tucked away. Just a 5 minute walk from the Royal Sussex County Hospital, local shops and a popular bistro pub around the corner serve your every need, and it is within minutes of the relaxed cafés, restaurants, beaches- and beach bars/volleyball courts- of Kemptown Village. Nearby bus routes take you to the whole of the city and the station serving Gatwick and London, the tennis courts and green spaces of Queen’s Park (which also hosts events during our legendary festivals) are a short walk, and the picturesque cultural heart of the city or waterfront restaurants of Brighton Marina are a scenic 15 seafront stroll or easy to reach by bus or cab.

Hidden away from the crowds who flock to our international coastal resort, this impressive bay fronted beauty is in a sought after terrace looking over the trees and playing fields of one of the best schools in the country. Quiet and private the graceful, historic apartments in this prestigious area are particularly popular with health, flight and teaching professionals as the hospital is a 5 minute stroll, friendly local shops open at good hours, there’s a plethora of schools all easy to reach and there is almost 24/7 access to the airports if you do not drive. This glorious building radiates period charm and broad steps lead to a grand front door secured by answerphone, whilst inside only one apartment per storey retains the refined essence of the original building, so it’s a good start.
Full of sunshine, the majestic reception is exceptionally inviting with plenty of space in which to relax or to entertain and triple windows which almost fill the west wall. The central windows open outwards to embrace views of the playing fields which change with the seasons and lead to a glimmer of the sea whilst inside is a space of timeless beauty from the soaring ceiling with elegant coving to the classic oak flooring and custom made shelving. Light and airy in summer, during winter this room transforms into a warm, welcoming haven as there is a fabulous wood burner- which is a very rare find indeed.
Sharing the open, leafy views and sparkling glimpses of sea unique to this terrace, the designer kitchen is skilfully planned, partly open to the reception so that the cook can join in with the evening but with the working areas out of sight of the main room – and with a choice of lighting levels to make it even more discrete. Striking contemporary units provide sophisticated storage solutions and solid wood surfaces are mirrored by the oak breakfast bar. Designed by gourmets who like to host, there’s an easy flow through to the rear balcony with woodland views and space for al fresco dining, and the working kitchen is party perfect as integrated appliances include a gas hob and oven beneath a hood, a microwave combi and a hose tap as well as a swan neck tap, and plumbing is in place for a machine.
Quiet and comfortable at the back of this substantial building, the first of the generous double bedrooms looks across to little known woodland walks – one of Kemptown’s best kept secrets- and it has ample floorspace to play with. Upstairs, the luxury shower room is larger than you expect with natural light, soothing tiling and high end dual head shower. The jewel in the crown of this glamorous home is also worth waiting for.…the vaulted principal bedroom, designed as a place in which to refresh and restore with ample eaves storage and a romantic window snug with sea views by day and a glittering, distant cityscape to enjoy by night.
Agent says:
“The sought after apartments here are quiet but convenient. By one of the best schools in the country- and within walking distance of the hospital, Amex and law centres-the location is prime and homes here do not appear on the market often, and sell fast.”
Owner’s secret:
“The city’s vibrant centre is literally only a 15 minute walk, although with the leafy views and quiet terrace it is easy to forget that! Looking over playing fields and with no building behind the whole apartment is very private. We enjoy the sea from the main living rooms, which is special, and the open horizon from the bedroom is relaxing as well as romantic. All of the rooms are inviting and big enough for entertaining, and there is a lot going on locally so you won’t get bored or lonely if you’re new to the city.”

The cinemas, waterfront restaurants and health club of the glamorous Marina are within walking distance, and the picturesque heart of the city is a scenic 15 minute seafront stroll or easy to reach by bus or by cab.
