GRAND GROUND FLOOR WEST FACING REGENCY APARTMENT OVERLOOKING BRUNSWICK GARDENS

Stucco fronted and uniformly painted in rich warm cream, the properties on historic Brunswick Square are Grade 1 listed. They were designed by the renowned architect Charles Busby and built from 1825 onwards. Just up from Hove promenade the apartment sits in the centre of the eastern terrace with an oblique sea view from the large ground floor windows and an outlook directly over the Gardens in the centre of the Square. This is a reassuringly elegant home of over 2000 square feet over three levels with a bounty of original features subtly updated to meet contemporary living.

Interior décor is from a rich palette of Farrow & Ball which sits well with the period detailing of high corniced ceilings, ornate marble fireplaces and large stained glass windows, some of which are art deco from a 1920’s update.

Flooring is a natural mix of Portland stone, oak and sisal. Column radiators feature throughout the property as do plantation shutters in absence of stained glass windows.

Located in one of the largest properties around the Square, the home shares the building’s freehold which is managed by the residents themselves. Sited in such an historic square and with just four other properties in the building it’s a quiet place in which to live.

Ground floor

The raised ground floor apartment is entered via a grand communal hallway with a feature fireplace and Portland stone floor.

The extensive light filled main reception room and kitchen combined has a wonderfully high ceiling and wide windows which are still fitted with original working shutters. A beautiful period fireplace is fully open adding further ambience and heating.

The kitchen gloss units run along one wall with integral oven and microwave. A white Corian worktop, with a brushed steel splash back, incorporates a deep sink and is mirrored by a wide Corian island/breakfast bar for an unobtrusive and efficient kitchen space.

The window views of the terrace opposite bring a sense of location. In fact this property has been used for filming by TV and film companies for just this reason.

Behind this main room is the sitting/tv room again with a beautiful marble fireplace set with an ethanol burner fire and easterly light coming through two large leaded glass windows.

Along the hallway are doors to the large under stair storage area, a ground floor cloakroom, a further storage cupboard and a useful utility room with sink, fitted cupboards and space for washing machine and dryer.

The flooring changes from Portland stone to oak as the hallway reaches an archway signalling the change from public to private rooms. Just beyond is the main and ensuite bathroom, mostly tiled with walk-in shower, a deep curved Duravit bath tub, vanity unit and basin, and mirrored cabinet. Next sits the comfortably sized master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, sisal flooring and two large stained glass windows for soft diffused natural light.

A ceiling hatch in the hallway opens up to a storage area. There is also a communal bike store on the basement level.

Upstairs

Stainless steel hand rails follow up the sisal carpeted stairway with westerly light shining through an attractive stained glass window on the half landing. From the first floor landing is a double bedroom to the right with a velux and a west facing window and to the left a shower room servicing this second bedroom.

Continuing up to the second floor is a further bedroom with views through the plantation shutters over the roof tops. Opposite on this top floor is an open office space and a fire door which opens out to the central stairway of the building.

Another ceiling hatch opens up to a large attic space that is tall enough to stand up in.

In the local area

Brunswick Town sits just inside the Hove boundary and up from the quiet elegance of the Square there is a wealth of café life with artisan bakery, independent shops and local pubs and restaurants. Down towards the promenade is the sea with boundless opportunities for walking and water sports as well as seafront dining. And it’s a pleasant 20 minute walk or short hop on the bus to Brighton station with direct trains to the capital.
