Why you’ll like it:
These architectural masterpieces were built in 1824 by famed architect Charles Busby at the time when Brighton had become very fashionable for the top tiers of society who were making their way down from London to enjoy the fresh sea air. Although many of them have since been converted into apartments, they still retain an air of grandeur, and Brunswick Terrace remains one of the most prestigious addresses - with beauty, history and character in abundance.
The townhouses of Brunswick Terrace are amongst the grandest with Corinthian pilasters and ornate cast iron balconies on their striking facades. A grand front door leads through the communal stairwells where the true scale of the building becomes apparent. The door to this apartment is on the penultimate floor, opening to an interior stairwell leading up to the main body of the flat, adding to the feeling of space inside.
From the landing, your eye is drawn to the living room which spans the front of the building and is partially open plan to the kitchen and dining room which shares its favoured southerly aspect and uninterrupted sea views. Three arched windows frame the vista, becoming and ever-changing triptych throughout the seasons. From here you can see along the coast where the sunrises and sunsets are breath-taking. Inside, there is ample room for relaxed seating alongside the fireplace, while the table sits perfectly alongside the kitchen. This has plenty of storage and huge potential for reconfiguration and modernisation to add value.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, there are two double bedrooms ideal for professional sharers. One has a wall of built-in wardrobes which maximise the floor space further and both have scope to put your own stamp on them. They have easy access to the bathroom which has a separate WC – useful for guests and sharers – plus there is a sauna in the bathroom – although this would need professional testing prior to use.
Agent’s thoughts:
Brimming with potential for improvements, this apartment will appeal to many as it is an incredible investment opportunity as a home or as a buy-to let property.
Owner’s thoughts:
"This was a very successful rental property for me for many years. The building is very friendly and you cannot beat living so close to the beach during summer – you really don’t miss having your own garden either as Brunswick Lawns and Hove Lawns are on your doorstep."
