Charlotte Street, Brighton

Spanning the entire ground floor of an elegant Victorian townhouse in Brighton?s fashionable Kemptown district, this stylish two-bedroom flat feels peaceful and is filled with natural light from east to west. It has been redecorated throughout using a contemporary palette, alongside oak flooring and streamlined fixtures and fittings, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease.

You can see the sea at the end of the road from the main front door which opens to a neat communal hallway and your door clearly numbered to the right. Stepping inside, it is clear the space has been designed by those with a respect for period properties and an eye for interiors, creating a space which is both fun and homely. Originally a Victorian townhouse, the flat enjoys the high ceilings of the era and has retained its sash windows and architraves which add character to the space.

The eye is immediately drawn to the living room which spans the front of the house allowing ample space for relaxation and formal dining at a table within the bay, so you can see the sea as you eat. Tucked away behind a peninsular island, the streamlined kitchen is sociable but does not dominate the whole room and integrated appliances include a touch induction hob, electric oven and a hood to ensure the room remains fragrant. A choice of lighting level brings atmosphere to the space depending on the mood, while white walls and blonde wood flooring serve to naturally brighten the room.

Both bedrooms are beautifully appointed with crisp white walls, spotlights and ample space for either freestanding or built-in wardrobes. Either room would work as the principal room as they have additional space for working from home, if need be, and both share easy access to the bathroom. Lined in marbled tiling, this chic space is ready to go with a roomy shower cubicle and gleaming white sanitaryware.
