Why you’ll like it:

Combining urban styling with the natural, period character of the building; this cool one-bedroom apartment is immediately impressive and is ready for the modern lifestyle. The location could not be more convenient for the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle as you have the beach, Seven Dials, the City Centre and several beautiful parks within walking distance, and for those who commute, Brighton Station is very close by.

Easily accessible on the ground floor of an attractive period property, this apartment is peacefully positioned to the rear, so it is not affected by the noise from passing traffic. Stepping inside, it is clear it has been renovated by those with an eye for interiors, as bold colour has been paired with industrial pieces for a contemporary twist. The white, streamlined kitchen sits in happy contrast to the more vibrant blues within the living room and serves to brighten the space – although natural light is also brought in via a tall sash window. There are several integrated appliances below stone worktops, and plenty of storage has been included, while there is ample space in the rest of the room for relaxation and formal dining. Cool vintage radiators, pendant lights and window shutters complete the stylish look.

Next door, the bedroom has equal style and drama with dark hues on the walls which include a built-in bed with storage below it. Again, vintage radiators and exposed brick provide the raw, industrial feel and the views from the sash window are private looking out to the garden space which is screened from the street by contemporary fence panelling.

The bathroom is easily accessible and is on trend with white metro brick wall tiles around the bath and part-way up the wall, and the unique heated towel rail is a statement piece within this room. The shower has a rainfall head and is above the bath so you can refresh for the morning and while away the hours in the evening too.

Outside, the patio area has been landscaped with the same care as inside the house. Slate-chip flooring, streamlined fencing and raised beds for planting give form and function to the space, while built-in seating provides a lovely spot for evening drinks or dining alfresco as the weather warms.

Agent’s thoughts:
This apartment is immediately impressive and particularly stylish. With its own outside space plus an incredible location, it is sure to be snapped up.
