Why you’ll like it:

Effortlessly elegant, the Regency townhouses of Brunswick Town have become integral to Brighton & Hove’s unique identity as a cosmopolitan city of style and taste. They were the ‘brainchild’ of eminent architect Charles Busby as he hoped to replicate the distinguished Nash developments in London with their ornate balconies and columns. Although most of the houses have now been converted into apartments such as this one, they continue to attract people here from far and wide, almost 200 years later.

Residing halfway up the western side of the terrace, this apartment is approached up some wide stone steps, and through a well-maintained communal hallway where sweeping stairs take you to your floor.

Your door opens to an internal staircase where double height ceilings with tall white walls add to the feeling of space. The original bannister wends its way to the upper level, while steps lead back through the apartment to the bathroom and bedroom two.

Facing west with far reaching views across the local landscape, bedroom two is a peaceful double room where a warming light filters in during the afternoon and early evening. There is space for a double bed and freestanding furnishings without compromising on floor space and from the casement windows you can see the sea.

Next door, the bathroom is chic and contemporary with concrete-grey and natural stone wall and floor tiles around a gleaming white bath suite which includes a rainfall shower over the bath.

Stepping up to the top floor, the scale of the living room becomes apparent as it spans the building following the gracious curve of the façade. Two wide sash windows look out to the Regency architecture opposite, bringing in a beautiful light from the east during the morning, and a period fireplace takes centre stage. The original floorboards are sanded and varnished in honeyed tones to complement white walls; both of which will suit all types of interior styling. There is a vast amount of space in here for relaxed furnishings and a dining table and chairs, plus space for entertaining in style. Open plan to the room, the kitchen is streamlined with handle free cabinetry, stone worktops and fully integrated appliances, to include a fridge freezer, washing machine, oven and induction hob alongside a huge amount of storage at both base and eye level.

Next door, also peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the principal bedroom is a fine size double, sharing the same classic décor as the living room but with a warming westerly aspect. Even with a king size bed and a wardrobe, the floor space is not compromised, and there is further space on the landing outside for a desk, dressing table or more clothes storage if needed.

Agent’s thoughts:

This property has been expertly renovated with an immaculate finish throughout to complement its many period features. It is bursting with character and its feels far more spacious than many apartments due to its split-level layout and high ceilings.

Owners’ thoughts:

“There is such a fantastic sense of community in Brunswick Town, and with the beach, parks and shops so close by, it’s unrivalled in the city. The flat is very peaceful for somewhere so central, and the skyscapes never tire. We will be sad to see it go.”
