Offering a luxury coastal lifestyle this stylish, 2 bed apartment between the sea and the fashionable, al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown which hosts Pride, even comes with a private patio for parties. A sophisticated home or investment within 10 mins walk of the famous Lanes, the local beaches have a Soho House, a Lido and bars, and Brighton’s direct trains to London are just a few mins by cab. With its own private entrance on the lower floor of an iconic Regency terrace, built in an age reliant on natural light it has plenty of it and inside blends generous proportions with a sophisticated, contemporary lifestyle. The spacious living dining room is stylish with French doors to a patio where friends and family can relax in quiet seclusion. There is a sociable, but separate streamlined kitchen which is good to go and the luxury bathroom also has a chic finish. Both bedrooms are doubles which do not share a wall together, great if you want to share, and one sweeps opens to the patio.

Kemptown is a sought after location with fresh local produce, cafés, bistro bars and independent shops as well as supermarkets and pharmacies. Hosting some of the city’s largest employers, this coastal property is within a 10 minute walk of Amex and its new pedestrian plaza as well as the County Hospital. The local park will take you onto the Downs and the seafront is bordered by beaches with volleyball courts, a yoga centre, beach bars, art galleries and a Lido to enjoy.

On an historic, one way lane between the cafes and restaurants of Upper James’s Street and the sea, this beautiful bay fronted building has an impressive frontage. This stylish apartment has its own, private, gated entrance which is lit and you leave any stress of the day behind when you step into a hushed hall with intriguing glimpses through to a glamorous kitchen and bright reception, each of classic proportions.

At the heart of the home, the living dining room has a fabulous contemporary finish with plenty of space to share and an easy flow through French doors to a private courtyard perfect for al fresco entertaining. Ahead the sophisticated kitchen delivers plenty of sophisticated storage and practical working surfaces, which also look good, and it is designed for entertaining with a choice of lighting levels and free standing appliances which the vendor is willing to discuss. Open to the living dining room but with the working areas tucked out of sight, it is sociable without being intrusive.

Quiet and private at the back, the first double bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary which opens to the central courtyard for morning coffee. Next door, a spacious bathroom with a shower above the bath is right on trend, and with glorious proportions, at the front of the building the principal bedroom is an elegant retreat with a handsome fireplace to enjoy.
