Why you’ll like it:
Classically Victorian, the townhouse within which this property resides is part of a terrace with canted bay windows and the classic plasterwork features of the era. Steps lead up to the main front door then through the communal hallways where your door is numbered on the first floor. As a split-level apartment, the door opens to an internal staircase which adds to the feeling of space while also providing room for hooks to hang coats.

From the first half-landing, the bathroom is ahead. Modern in style, the gleaming white bath is off set by matt black fittings to include a rainfall shower head and heated towel rail, while the tones from the stone tiles are picked up in the feature block colour wall behind the basin.
A few more steps rise to the main body of the flat where the bedroom sits to the rear of the building. It is a fine size with space for a double bed and freestanding furnishings, while the window frames leafy views which are a joy to wake up to.

Spanning the front of the building on the top floor, the main reception room is open plan. It is streamlined with clearly defined areas for relaxed seating and dining alongside the open plan kitchen. This comes fitted with a range of units and some integrated appliances, leaving space for others – and the current owner has created a desk are for working from home. Two large Velux windows allow you to watch clouds or star gaze in the evening while bringing in plenty of natural light.

This central city flat is beautifully situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and parks on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and the beach are within easy reach, and it also offers easy access to the A27/A23 as well as Brighton Station with its regular, fast links to the universities, airports and London.
