Egremont Place, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

A rare chance to buy a 1 bed garden apartment- and 3 bed maisonette with sea views from a roof terrace- which form the whole of an historic, terraced house with Queen’s Park a few doors up, the sea at the bottom of the hill – 3 blocks down- and the Royal Pavilion, County Hospital and Brighton College within a 10-15 min walk. Just 7 mins by cab from Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London, and close to St James’s Street which hosts Pride, both are stylish and good to go. Ideal for inter-generational living, versatile options also include letting one or both, or reinstating the house into one unit and extending into the loft as some neighbours have done, stnc.

Queen’s Park is one of the most exclusive areas of our coastal city particularly loved by families because of its proximity to the café, tennis and playground of Queen’s Park, outstanding St Luke’s Primary and Brighton College. Students like it for its bus routes to art colleges, universities and teaching hospitals, and professionals choose it as it has plentiful permit parking within easy reach of the County Hospital, Brighton General, legal quarter and Amex as well as to the whole of the city - and now is the time to buy as substantial improvements along the seafront include a So-Ho House, Lido and café bars on the local beaches!

An open plan living room has a streamlined kitchen which doesn’t dominate the whole space and there’s an easy flow to the sunny roof terrace of 2.16 x 4.06m (7’1 x 13’4) off the landing above with plenty of space for entertaining and fabulous sea views. The first bedroom is on the entrance floor, so great for guests, and it is next to a light and airy bathroom. Upstairs the landing is lined with storage and 2 more bedrooms are generous doubles, divided by a luxury shower room so they don’t share a wall.

Agent Says:

“A prime location by the park, you can walk to the sea, Royal Pavilion & picturesque Lanes. This area has something for everyone with major employers, good schools and amenities of St James’s Street on the doorstep. Ideal as a luxury home, if you are seeking a high end investment it is convenient for the city and station with swift links to academic institutions.”

Owner’s secret:

“Both apartments are light and spacious with classic proportions and outside space, and both are ready to move into, although it would be simple to use it as one house. The location couldn’t be better with the park at the top of the street and the sea so close with the vibrant amenities of St James’s Street between them – but out of hearing. This area is super nice and long term with something to suit your every mood (and age!) from bars and clubs to fine dining and theatres within walking distance - and there are open air farmer’s markets at the Pepper Pot or Kemptown Village every week. Queen’s Park is an inclusive community whether you’re a family, a jogger, a tennis player or just like to feed the ducks and it hosts interesting arts events during festivals, and both the A23/A27 and station are easy to reach.”
