This fabulous apartment spans from east to west on the second floor of a bow fronted 1825 beauty in a reimagined part of the city which has restored this magnificent Regency terrace to its former high-status location just along from the Royal Pavilion. Opposite what were once the palace gardens, now a favourite place for locals to have lunch in leafy surrounds, this apartment is set back and up from a service road used only by buses and taxis making it exclusive, quiet but convenient once more- and with everything the city has to offer easily reached on foot or by bus, you won’t need to have your own car.

Through an historic entrance secured by answer phone and sensor lit communal hall, inside this home is a light and inviting retreat with a hushed hallway. Ahead, sunlight streams through a living room of classic proportion with three windows to the east framing glorious, open views which change with the seasons, sweeping over the trees and fountains of Valley Gardens which also host arts events during our famous festivals. This room has extra floorspace thanks to the bow front and open plan for sophisticated entertaining, the stylish kitchen is sociable but does not dominate the space. Carefully planned with ample storage and practical working surfaces, everything flows from the central electric hob and oven beneath a hood and ready to party, there is plumbing for a machine and a designated area for a tall fridge freezer.

Private and comfortable at the back of this substantial building, the generous double bedroom is not directly overlooked, and it is a big, bright, blank canvas to make your own. Just next door and central to the apartment for guests, a VIP bathroom impresses with walls lined in Travertine marble, a Triton shower above the contemporary bath to ensure water pressure and a sleek vanity unit beneath the hand basin. Perfect.

Agent says:
“This stylish apartment offers the best of the Brighton lifestyle is in a great, central position close to the beach- and it would also be a fabulous lock up and leave.”

Owner’s secret:
“This location is ideal with the sea and everything you need on your doorstep and we enjoy watching the change of the seasons in the gardens and the city lights as it wakes at night - and it’s nice to stroll in the gardens in the evening as sometimes the fountains in the gardens are lit. Although we value the privacy of the apartment, all the local cafés, bars and restaurants are very friendly, so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to Brighton, and the neighbours are also very welcoming..”
