Why you’ll like it:

Effortlessly elegant, the Regency homes of Brunswick Town have become integral to Brighton and Hove’s unique identity as a cosmopolitan city of style and taste. They were the ‘brain-child’ of eminent architect, Charles Busby, who hoped to replicate the distinguished Nash developments in London. The magnolia curved facades with gleaming ornate balconies and columns are certainly impressive, and while most have since been converted into luxury apartments; they continue to attract people to the area.
Residing half way up the western side of the terrace, this apartment is approached up some wide stone steps, and through a secure communal hallway where sweeping stairs take you to your floor. Once inside, the scale of the flat is immediately apparent as it is split level over the second and third floors.

Spanning the front of the building and making up half its footprint, the living room is stunning with two sash windows looking out over the historic landscape to the east. A marble fireplace takes centre stage, and there is ample room for formal dining and relaxed seating in here. The décor is stylish with walls in French-grey and carpets a shade darker, with the woodwork picked out in white.

Next door, bold block colour works well in the principal bedroom which faces west. Even with a king size bed and freestanding furnishings, the floor space is not compromised, and a built-in traditional wardrobe provides additional storage.
To the rear of the flat, the kitchen is well-designed for the space to include plenty of storage and an integrated oven with gas hob, leaving space for an under counter fridge and a washing machine. Nearby, the bathroom is fresh in white with a shower over the bath.

Upstairs, bedroom two is peacefully positioned on the top floor with dual aspect windows. This is another fine double room and the elevation in the building ensures it is perfectly peaceful for a good night’s sleep.

Agent’s thoughts:

Bright, spacious and well-presented throughout, this property will appeal to many.

Owners’ thoughts:

“Being positioned in the middle of both Brighton and Hove’s social and cultural centres, there is plenty to entertain you on foot, and with St Ann’s Well Gardens and the beach equidistant from the flat, you don’t miss a garden. We will miss the peace and the views from up here, but it is time for our next move.”
