With a south facing balcony to embrace its prime location on Brighton’s seafront, every room in this two bedroom first floor apartment has views of the English Channel – plus it comes with a space in the underground car park. This iconic Grade II listed Regency building retains its opulent reception hall, but a sensitive conversion now has a lift secreted away. On the first floor of the southeast corner of the building, you can follow the sun from the open plan living room. Ideal for professionals, families or investors, the County Hospital and Brighton College are a 5-6 minute walk and the seasonal Dolphin lift delivers you down to the beach, beach bars and volleyball courts. A scenic 15 minute stroll along the seafront takes you to the cultural heart of the city or waterfront restaurants of the Marina.

Grade II listed, this magnificent building is a famous landmark built in the 1820’s as a hotel. The grand entrance with an impressive portico remains on a quiet side street – but is now secured by an entry system. Inside, statuesque proportions, ionic columns and majestic staircase greet you and to the right, a lift is discreetly tucked away.
Inside, a light and airy hallway with a cupboard has stylish oak underfoot and ahead, uninterrupted sunlight and sea views stream through a living room of classic beauty. Reaching from the dark oak floor to a height of 3.5 metres, the south facing bay of glass is surmounted by an arched window. It frames a panoramic seascape, and has central doors which open to a spacious balcony ideal for friends to spill out to and enjoy the prime waterfront location. To the east, a tall window brings in another, equally fabulous vista which stretches over the dolphin lift and protective arm of Brighton Marina to the white cliffs at Telscombe. Designed for entertaining, the custom made kitchen is skilfully tucked away from the in/out flow behind a sociable breakfast bar. Built 18 months ago by a local craftsman there is ample storage and solid wood surfaces, and it is well planned with an integrated electric hob and oven beneath a hood, and plumbing for a washing machine.
Next door, the first of the double bedrooms has soothing height and a graceful, floor to ceiling window looks along gardens and the beach to open water. The principal bedroom is all about relaxing in a stunning setting. Facing east for the morning sunshine, another room high window brings the fabulous coastline into this calm space – and you can relish the view even from bed. At the end of the hallway, the luxury bathroom has a Regency influence – but there is nothing old fashioned about the black, dual head shower and designer finish!
Owner's secret
“We love returning to the impressive, quiet building where neighbours have become friends. All of the rooms are light and airy, the view changes every day – and the apartment is really beautiful when the sun shines! 10-15 minutes’ walk from the city centre along the promenade there are also plenty of local cafés, bars and restaurants to choose from, so friends tend to gather here whilst we decide where to explore, and its location is also ideal if you are looking to share or for an income with all the main employers of the city within a 20 minute radius.”
