FULL DESCRIPTION

Stairway to Flat
Accessed via a grand sweeping staircase, the apartment occupies the entire first floor, a rare feature in listed buildings of this calibre.

Hall
The huge front door leads into a large, mirrored entrance hall and dining area, above which hangs an enormous original crystal chandelier. Beautiful high spec cork flooring runs throughout the property, which is both sound proofed and insulated.

Lounge
Turn left through large original glazed double doors into the substantial and hugely impressive lounge, with over 4 metre ceiling height, and surely some of the most beautiful and ornate original cornicing in the city.

Three sets of floor-to-ceiling double French doors lead out onto the large full-length balcony with ornate canopy above, and spectacular unobstructed sea views past Brighton Marina to the east, and Brighton Pier and as far as Worthing to the west.

Elsewhere in the lounge, beautiful original Regency features abound: window shutters, high skirting boards (throughout), and a large marble fireplace surround with original features and exceptionally fine detailing. A large working wood burner adds a contemporary and practical twist.

This is a truly magnificent room.


Kitchen
Returning back through the hall, further double doors lead into the kitchen, from where there are still clear sea views. Large windows overlook the white-painted and well-maintained lightwell, reflecting plenty of light back in.

The kitchen features Corian worktops with a good amount of storage underneath, and a Corian-topped island in the middle, with a breakfast bar on one side. It is equipped with a Siemens hob, a Smeg oven and grill and an Elica extractor hood, a filtered / boiling water tap, and large storage shelving with tambour door. There is space for a large fridge-freezer.

Overhead, the ceiling has been lowered to offer extra storage above, as in some other parts of the property, giving rise to a huge overall volume of loft space.


Rear Hallway between Kitchen and Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The rear hall continues towards the bedrooms and bathrooms, with large cupboard storage and space for a Work From Home area.


Principal Bedroom
The principal bedroom has a full height ceiling with exemplary ornate features, and bespoke almost floor-to ceiling wardrobes, providing ample storage, and with plenty of space to accommodate the largest of beds.

Two beautiful three metre high sash windows with original wooden shutters, window seats and radiators beneath look onto the manicured garden, are not overlooked by the mews houses beyond, and have no immediate traffic noise.

A fully tiled en-suite with a Hans Grohe shower cubicle, low-level WC, heated towel rail, and wash-handbasin with Philippe Starck taps complete the perfect master bedroom set-up.


Second Bedroom
This has the same but single full sash window height, original shutters and window seat, with garden outlook. There is a bespoke built in wardrobe and more than enough space for a double bed and other furniture.

A set of panel steps lead up into a mezzanine area, large enough for a further double bed, or den with sofa/lounge or study area.


Third Bedroom
The third bedroom, with a large sash window overlooking the light well, is currently used as a single but easily facilitates a double bed.


Family Bathroom
The family bath is part mosaic tiled, with a large window overlooking the lightwell. It features a Bette steel bath with centre console taps and shower attachment, low-level WC, an Italian designed pedestal wash-handbasin with Philippe Starck taps, a heated towel rail and an extractor fan. There is a utility cupboard large enough to house a washing machine and a separate tumble dryer plus additional shelving. Access from here to the substantial loft area.


Property Location & Immediate Facilities
Part of a set of six of the more imposing buildings on this stretch of sea front, it virtually backs on to Kemp town Village, but is also close to the city centre. Seafront amenities include the new Sea Lanes with a swimming pool and saunas virtually opposite, paddle board and kayak hire, numerous bars and cafes, and the iconic Pier to the west.
