Chesham Place, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

An immaculate two bedroom retreat with the sea at the end of its Grade II listed terrace, this restful Regency apartment with a spacious courtyard has glorious proportions and a designer finish. In Kemptown Village famous for its al fresco lifestyle, County Hospital, Brighton College and new waterfront Lido, the chic location is ideal for professionals, holiday makers and investors with the city centre a 15 min seafront stroll and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick & London 5-8 minutes by cab. Spanning the entire lower floor of a bow fronted beauty, with its own entrance it is private and quiet, and built in an age reliant on natural light it has plenty of it.

Inside, the interior blends classic elegance with a contemporary, luxury lifestyle where the spacious living room offers sophisticated open plan living with a beautiful period fireplace, French doors to the secluded courtyard, and a high spec kitchen which will stand the test of time is tucked away from the social flow. Either of the two, beautiful bedrooms could be the principal as the gracious room at the front has a chic en-suite whilst at the back, the second double bedroom opens to the peaceful oasis and is next to a fabulous bathroom and separated from the rest of the apartment by a door. One of the most sought after locations in the city, Kemptown Village is tucked away from tourists with a range of amenities including a farmer’s market, whilst a scenic 15 minute stroll along the seafront takes you either to the cultural heart of the city or waterfront restaurants of the Marina, and now is the time to buy with substantial improvements taking place along the seafront.

With its own private, gated entrance and one of Brighton’s finest addresses in the Village with independent shops, cafés and bars on your doorstep but out of hearing, a light but skilled touch has breathed new life into this spacious home with a great balance between style and practicality which begins in the entrance lobby, where a cavern has been converted into a utility room so beach towels can go straight into the machine.

The hallway is immaculate with a ceiling approximately 2.8m above your head and high grade oak flooring underfoot, and both of these features (and the new radiators) continue through double doors into the open plan reception at the heart of the apartment. With French doors to bring the outside in, the living dining area is inviting, and friends and family can relax in total seclusion and enjoy the elegant proportions and handsome fireplace. Tucked away at the far end of the room the stylish kitchen is away from the in/out flow. A classic beauty with midnight blue units, marbled quartz surfaces and brass detail high spec appliances include a central touch induction hob and oven beneath a discreet hood, a fridge, a freezer, and a dishwasher.
Outside, the private west facing patio becomes another ‘room’ during summer. A quiet refuge large enough for a table and chairs, it is the perfect place for friends to gather before walking into the city.

Ideal for guests or sharers, at the far end of the hallway the first of the double bedrooms is peaceful and is not overlooked. Opening to the patio it is welcoming and there is space for a workstation. Next door, a luxury bathroom has an historic influence in the traditional style cabinet beneath the hand basin and painted panelling on the bath, but the high end fittings include a dual head shower and a warming rail for towels.
Bright and beautiful at the front, the commitment to comfort continues in the principal bedroom with its glorious proportions and two big windows which follow the graceful curve of the building and bring in the morning sun. A soothing sanctuary with calm decoration it is ready for your move, and the en-suite shower room has a sleek designer finish.

Agent’s thoughts:
“By the sea, this elegant apartment is a fabulous coastal home in an exclusive area where Regency homes just a few minutes’ walk from the city sell fast! Close to the hospital, Amex (and its new pedestrian plaza) and legal quarter it is convenient for professionals, and with bus routes to the station if you don’t want to walk, it is also a good investment.”

Owner’s secret:
“The buildings in Chesham Place are so beautiful they are Grade II listed, and I love walking home along the seafront and turning into the terrace. I have enjoyed the light and spacious rooms, and the layout is ideal if you like to entertain. The patio is big enough for alfresco dining and friends like to come here before or after spending time on the beach, in the village which has a great atmosphere, or in Brighton where there is so much to do.”
