Perfectly positioned close to Brighton Station, the North Laine shopping district and the beach, this beautiful home sits in the creative and cultural heart of the city. St Nicholas Road, named so after the 14th Century Church at its southern end, is peacefully tucked away on the cusp of the hill in the West Hill Conservation Area. The building in which this apartment sits has been built onto the hillside, giving it exceptional views over the city below open skies.

Classically Victorian with a wide gable and a red-brick façade, the building is unique within the street. Stepping inside, the period features and proportions remain, having been sensitively converted into apartments, yet the interiors are modern and light. Spread over the upper two floors, this apartment enjoys vaulted ceilings which give it character and the two-storey layout adds to the feeling of space.

Entering to a welcoming entrance hall, there is a deep cupboard for storing household items, coats and shoes to ensure the space remains clutter free. The eye is immediately drawn to the living room ahead due to the natural light streaming in through a vast floor to ceiling window framing views over the rooftops of the local landscape. This dormer space provides the perfect space for a dining table and chairs, while elsewhere there is ample space for sofas, and the kitchen is neatly arranged to the rear of the room. This has been well-designed for the space to include and integrated oven and electric hob, while space has been left for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine alongside plenty of storage.

Also on this floor, the bathroom is fresh in white with a modern suite and a shower over the bath. Upstairs, the bedroom spans the depth of the building with built-in wardrobes and a huge amount of eaves storage – a huge bonus in apartment living. It is a tranquil space, elevated with exposed beams and Velux windows which allow you to star gaze as you drift off to sleep. On the far side of the room, there is space for a desk for working from home, plus additional space for a dressing area and chest of drawers.
