Live an exclusive lifestyle in this quiet, private and fume free one bedroom apartment tucked away in Brighton’s iconic 1895 Technical College where windows stretch from floor to ceiling -which are high, and you will have access to sunny communal grounds. Opposite the leafy walks, café and exhibition centre of the Level, this magnificent Grade II building roared into the 21st century in a skilled 2001 conversion creating loft style city homes watched over by a daytime concierge to meet, greet and give peace of mind. Inside offers a sophisticated open plan lifestyle with a spacious living dining area and fitted kitchen, and the stylish bedroom is a generous double with a contemporary bathroom next door. Within a 4 minute walk of the legendary cafes, arts venues and restaurants of the North Laine and a scenic stroll through fountained gardens to the sea, its location is ideal for local professionals, commuters and investors as art colleges, university buildings, hospitals and Amex are within a 6 minute radius, the station serving Gatwick and London is a 10 minute walk and access into and out of the city via the Lewes or London Road is swift.

Built in glorious Renaissance style, this exclusive development at the heart of our international coastal city has created dynamic, luxury homes which embrace the history of this unique building whilst celebrating the best that the 21st century has to offer.

Through a spectacular, tiled hallway with an original hand laid Terrazzo floor, majestic marble panels and sweeping staircases, this apartment is quietly tucked away at the far end of an open air courtyard with a secure gate from the main building – and from the street to bring bikes through to the store.

Up on the second floor, inside this apartment’s sleek design begins in the hallway where discreet, organised storage is also ceiling high and deep, so storage should not become an issue. Ahead, a sociable, loft-style living space with a skylight and glass wall panel basks in sunlight, there is more built in storage including above the door, and it offers inviting open plan living with clean lines and a choice of lighting levels. Tucked along the far wall, the kitchen doesn’t dominate the whole space, and it is well planned with plenty of practical working surfaces and everything flowing from the central touch induction hob and Bosch fan oven, both beneath a hood. There is designated space for a tall fridge freezer and plumbing is in place for a washing drier, and the vendors are willing to discuss the appliances in situ if you were interested.

Quiet, comfortable and stylish, the dreamy double bedroom has a window stretching from floor to ceiling to frame the courtyard, so it is a light and airy refuge which is not directly overlooked. Fuss free with fitted wardrobes and nooks and crannies to explore it is a restful retreat free from traffic noise. Next door the contemporary bathroom effortlessly serves your every need with a shower attachment on the bath, but it may ignite your inner designer if you want to ramp up the glamour and add value over time…

The large communal gardens, reached through the main college building are expertly landscaped to offer sun or shade. A social hub where neighbours say hello, so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to the city, there is also plenty of space for glamorous al fresco entertaining as it is the perfect location for friends to gather before walking over – or along- the Level to all our legendary coastal city has to offer.

Agent says:
“Full of light and ready to move into, this spacious apartment brings sophisticated city living to the coast.”

Owner’s secret:
“Light and airy in the summer and a warm, welcoming refuge during winter we’ve loved the light and the space here which is ideal for entertaining. We have enjoyed the choice between being sociable in the gardens – where people always say hello- meeting in one of the many restaurants surrounding the Level or having a romantic supper here after work. It is unusually private for an apartment so close to the centre - and you’ll sleep well in the quiet bedroom! This beautiful building has stories to tell of it rich history, and our friendly porter can tell you most of them (as well as take deliveries and sort out any problems like leaks when you’re away) but you’re right at the heart of a very vibrant city with a lot to offer on the doorstep.”
