Agent says:
“This beautiful coastal home makes the most of its seafront setting, and although you step into a glamorous lifestyle where every room has a stylish finish, it is also an inviting haven ideal as a home or an investment.”

Owner’s secret:
“In a wonderful setting, the views are always stunning whether blue skies or stormy. Every room is light and spacious, and the layout and simple décor works well. Just 15-20 minutes’ walk from the city centre along the promenade it is the obvious place for friends to gather to enjoy all that Brighton has to offer and the building itself is well run and secure, with friendly neighbours. Kemptown Village has a laid back atmosphere with good schools and all the amenities you need including a farmer’s market, Boots and small Co-Op (which opens early and closes later if you work at the hospital) as well as a choice of cafés or bistro pubs.”
