Clarence Square began construction in 1820 on the north side, but the gracious townhouses to the south side were not complete until 1840, giving them classic Victorian facades with canted bay windows and neat architectural details. This exceptional apartment has been brought shining into the 21st Century inside, using only the finest fittings and finishes to create a hugely attractive space to come home to each day. It also benefits from its own street entrance, adding to the feeling of privacy and exclusivity.

Stepping inside, it is immediately clear this is a contemporary space, modernised by those with a refined eye for modern interiors. Crisp white walls are paired with grey composite wood flooring and the lighting has been carefully considered with concealed spotlights throughout.

First to the left, the principal bedroom is the larger of the two doubles, and while it sits on the street facing side, it is private and peaceful due to the location of the square; tucked away from the city centre, and the lower ground position within the building. It feels homely with soft grey carpet underfoot and a wall of built-in wardrobes provides ample clothes storage space for two. Next door, the en suite shower room is beautifully appointed with slate grey tiles and a roomy shower cubicle, plus a second room cleverly conceals the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Along the hall, the living room and kitchen are open plan, sitting centrally to the apartment with a large picture window looking out to the patio while bringing in plenty of natural light. Streamlined and brilliantly designed for the space, the kitchen has a central island breakfast bar and two walls of handle-free cabinets in white, with LED lighting to set the party atmosphere. The appliances are integrated, so you can move in with relative ease, and there is ample space elsewhere for comfortable furnishings to relax in the evening, watching a film or streaming service on the wall mounted cord-free TV. Once again, this feature wall has been carefully considered in its design with LED lit alcoves for books, ornaments or plants, while a touch door cupboard houses the entertainment systems.

Bedroom two is a slightly smaller double, positioned at the far end of the building enjoying direct access to the rear patio garden. This becomes a lovely extension of the home with space for drinks and dining alfresco as it is barely overlooked – a unique feature in a city centre space. The current owners have fitted a waterproof electric awning and a patio heater so the space can be used all year round – both of which may be negotiable with the sale

This spacious and stylish lower ground floor flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
