A subtle re-invention of a Regency coastal apartment this light filled, two bedroom retreat has glorious proportions and a fabulous, east facing balcony with views of the sea at the end of a magnificent, Grade II terrace. In Kemptown Village, famous for its al fresco lifestyle, County Hospital, Brighton College – and new waterfront Lido, beach bars and cafés-the chic location is ideal for professionals, holiday makers and investors with the bonus of Brighton Station’s direct trains to London via Gatwick 5-8 minutes by cab, 15 by bus. Inside, this glamorous sun-lit retreat has a stylish, open plan reception which embraces its prime location with soaring triple windows which rise to the iconic balcony. Ideal for guests or sharers, the two bedrooms do not share a wall and with one en-suite and the other opposite a luxury bathroom, they don’t need to share a bathroom either. 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.

One of Brighton’s finest addresses in the Village with independent shops, cafés and bars on your doorstep but out of hearing, this light and airy apartment is a hidden gem, tucked away from tourists but just a 3 minute walk from the hospital, and a 15-20 minute walk scenic stroll along the seafront takes you to the picturesque cultural heart of the city surrounded by historic Lanes.
Within a statuesque, double fronted building protected by an entry system this apartment spans the whole of the prime first floor on one side, and inside fuses picturesque views over graceful buildings stepping to the sea and classic interior design which will stand the test of time.
Absolutely beautiful with three stately windows which soar from the floor to approx. 3.45m above your head, the open plan reception is a restful refuge to return to after a busy day in the city. There is ample space in which to work, rest or play and the balcony is ideal for friends to spill out to and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this seaside location. Perfect for parties, but also for everyday the custom built kitchen is tucked away behind a spacious central island which doubles as a breakfast bar, so although sociable it does not dominate the whole space. Good to go with practical storage and granite working surfaces, all the appliances are high spec and include a gas hob and fan oven beneath a hood, a fridge, freezer, and a dishwasher – there is a discreet utility area behind the door in the bathroom.
Quiet and comfortable next door, glorious proportions continue in the generous principal bedroom, with plenty of floorspace even with a double bed in situ, and there is a chic en-suite shower room. Not to be outshone, the second double bedroom is on a different level, so it is very private within the flat, and has leafy views, space for quiet study and fitted wardrobes.
Opposite, the luxury bathroom has natural slate on the side of a bath where you can bathe in glory or shower beneath its dual head system, and this big, bright space keeps on giving with warming rails for towels, storage and discreet plumbing for a washing machine.
Agent’s Thoughts
“By the sea, this spacious apartment is a fabulous coastal home in an exclusive area where Regency homes just a few minutes’ walk from the city sell fast! (Unusually, this corner building isn’t listed…) 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 solid investment.”
Owner’s secret:
“The building itself is beautiful and all the rooms are light and spacious. The reception is ideal for entertaining, and I shall miss sitting on the balcony, watching the sea in the sunshine–a daily reminder to go out and enjoy the coast. My friends love it here and it is the natural place to come before or after spending time on the beach, in the village or in Brighton where there is so much to do whatever you’re into, and although it is so convenient for the city, it is quieter than you expect at night.”
