On the prime, southeast corner of a Grade II seafront Regency terrace with magnificent views over the English Channel, this 4th floor (with a lift) 3 bed sun-lit retreat offers a glamorous, coastal lifestyle just 10 mins drive from Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London and about 7 by cab (or a scenic 20-25 min seafront stroll) from the picturesque cultural heart of the city. Inside offers a stylish fusion of graceful proportions with a sophisticated, contemporary flow and it’s opposite beaches with café bars, a lido, yoga centre and sauna-spa to explore. Off the tourist track, there’s plentiful permit parking with no list and ideal as a home or high end investment, the al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown Village (which hosts the County Hospital and Brighton College) is around the corner and major employers of the city are easy to reach.

High above the promenade internal walls of glass bring in uninterrupted light, every room enjoys generous proportions and a glamorous finish, whilst storage options (an underrated essential in central apartments) have been carefully considered and discreetly delivered. Sympathetically brought into the 21st century, stylistically it’s faultless, with three large windows to frame a sweeping seascape and bring the sunshine into the spacious living dining room, and there’s an easy, level flow to the sociable kitchen breakfast room, ideal for informal entertaining with a high-spec finish. All three double bedrooms are comfortable and quiet. The large guest room at the back has open views to countryside, the second peaceful bedroom faces east for the morning sunshine whilst the luxury bathroom has a generous corner bath. Blissfully private and very relaxing, the principal bedroom watches over the English Channel with an en-suite bathroom inspired by designer magazines.

Tucked away from the tourists with a weekly farmer’s market in the grounds of St George’s Church (which also hosts arts events during our festivals), the village is a great spot to be with cafés, bistro bars and independent shops including a bookstore and ice cream parlour as well as a small supermarket and a pharmacy. A few mins from the Marina, St James’s Street which hosts Pride or the South Downs National Park– on foot, by bus or car, now is the time to buy with substantial restoration of the Victorian walkways taking place on the seafront.

Why you’ll like it:
On Kemptown’s famous seafront with glorious sea views, this glamorous apartment is tucked well away from the coast road behind a lawn and a service road with plentiful permit parking and a grand but secure entrance. The central hall with its high ceiling is flooded with light from a large skylight which gives access to the roof space. There is potential for a roof terrace area subject to consents.

The Living Dining Room:
Inside, all of the large sunny rooms radiate from a bright, inviting hall and its lofty ceiling continues into the magnificent living room ahead. Sunshine and sea views stream through triple, ceiling height windows which follow the graceful south frontage of the building to deliver a picture perfect seascape. An elegant 7.27 x 5.14m (23’10 x 16’10) delivers ample space to share with friends and family, vaulted areas to display the original beams of the building, a period fireplace to admire - and absolute privacy.

The Kitchen Breakfast Room:
Full of light with a vista sweeping over the edge of the city below to rolling countryside, the kitchen breakfast room has an amazing 6.26 x 4.79m (20’7 x 15’8) of stylish space for a big table for informal entertaining. A classic beauty, solid floorboards gleam underfoot whilst streamlined units deliver practical storage topped by plenty of wood surfaces. Good to go, high end appliances include a sleek touch induction hob and a fan oven beneath a hood.

The Guest Bedroom and Second Double Bedroom:
Private at the far end of the apartment, the guest bedroom is a quiet refuge with open views and 6.23 x 5.13m (16’11 x 16’9) to relax into. Along the hallway, a light and airy second double room has space and grace, whilst central to the apartment, the luxury bathroom has a generous corner bath and internal walls of glass to discreetly tuck the w.c. out of sight.

The Principal Bedroom, En-Suite:
Watching over a stunning, ever changing seascape – which also means you are not overlooked -the principal bedroom spreads its wings across an astonishing 6.78 x 5.96m (22’2 x19’6) with a whole wall of wardrobes mirrored to reflect its unique, waterfront setting. The restful proportions are those only Regency properties can deliver, and the meticulous commitment to comfort continues in the immaculate en-suite bathroom where luxury fittings include twin hand basins set beneath lit mirrors.

Agent says:
“This luxury apartment is a rare, 3 bedroom find in an exclusive seafront terrace. Opposite the beach and between the pier and marina, this is a very fashionable area of the city with a friendly, village atmosphere – but within an easy walk of the Royal Pavilion and picturesque, historic centre.”

Owner’s secret:
“Opposite the sea, beautiful views change every day and during summer, it is like being on holiday with sunshine pouring in and people having fun on the beach below! Inside, all the rooms are light and stylish and friends love the amount of space there is here to mill around in. The Village has all you need, including St George’s Church which hosts music events and talks during festivals, and it has an abundance of good restaurants and bistro bars to try although you can also stroll to the arts venues and restaurants of the Lanes or to the waterfront restaurants, casino, health club and cinemas of the Marina – or take a cab or bus. You can cycle or run for miles along the seafront or the Undercliff pass which takes you traffic free to Rottingdean, Queen’s Park has a duck pond and tennis club whilst East Brighton Park leads to open, countryside walks (and has a café for breakfast after). Although you don’t really need a car here, a great bonus is that zone H has no waiting list and you can also buy visitor permits for guests.”
