Enjoy the Brighton lifestyle to the full in this fantastic apartment where the secure, pedestrian entrance is almost invisible, tucked away at the end of a tiny, no through road. Inside, a communal courtyard has space for bikes, and stairs lead up to a pedestrian walkway where this apartment is found at the end, so no-one passes your window or door.

Inside has a luxury finish which starts with sleek, contemporary fire doors and touch open storage for coats, and ahead the spacious living/dining room is light and inviting – and private as it is above the traffic on one-way Church Street. With plenty of versatile space in which to work, rest or play, ingenious floor to ceiling storage is stylish as well as very useful. A large hatch connects the kitchen to the main room, so the chef can be sociable but the working areas are out of sight.

High spec appliances including the touch induction hob and fabulous oven which has a rotisserie function and self-cleans were integrated 2 years ago, there is plumbing in place for a dishwasher and washer/drier and designated space for a tall fridge freezer – and the great news is that the vendors are willing to discuss the appliances in situ – which are all quite new.

Central to the apartment, the luxury bathroom has a designer finish with a fashionable dual head shower above the bath, sleek vanity unit beneath the hand basin and warming rail for towels. At the far end of the hallway, the double bedroom is a generous size with plenty of space even with a big double bed in it, and away from the road it is noticeably quiet. Lining an entire wall, Sharpe’s custom made wardrobes deliver sophisticated storage and with calm decoration, you won’t need to change a thing.

Agent says:
“Convenient for the station but also for major employers of the city and the universities, the North Laine is a legendary location, and this hidden gem is the perfect setting for those who want to enjoy this prime location in our vibrant, inclusive, coastal city.”

Owner’s secret:
“We have travelled the world and settled here because Brighton was a revelation. It is the jewel of the south coast with something for everyone no matter what you’re into and has an intercontinental, al fresco lifestyle you don’t need to travel for. We have stayed so long as we found that the area still delivered as our needs changed – when we first came we loved the bars, clubs and beaches and now we enjoy the restaurants, theatres and arts festivals. The apartment works well as we can walk everywhere including to the Dome, the Theatre, the Royal Pavilion and its gardens, and inside the lounge and kitchen are large enough to entertain properly as people like to meet here before or after exploring the city. There are hidden gems to discover from coastal views to surprisingly beautiful cityscapes, and the countryside of the surrounding National Park is just breathtaking – and all are easily accessed from this location by bus, train or cycle, so you won’t need a car.”
