Inside, you?ll find a stylish reception/dining room ideal for social gatherings, a bright and airy kitchen opening to a central courtyard, and 1,195 square feet of versatile space perfect for those who work from home or seek shared living. Chichester Terrace is situated within Kemp?s vision of ?Belgravia by the Sea?, one of the UK?s most significant architectural gems, offering access to exclusive garden enclosures and a tunnel leading to the beach. A short stroll takes you to the waterfront restaurants of the Marina or the vibrant café culture of Kemptown. The County Hospital, Brighton College, and the train station?serving both airports and London?are all easily accessible, while the charming shopping, bistros, and art venues of this legendary coastal resort are just a scenic walk or a few minutes by taxi.

Grade I listed Chichester Terrace is one of the UK?s finest Regency developments and one of only two in our coastal city offering private gardens for residents. Although mere minutes from the city's historic cultural center, this peaceful retreat on the lower floor of a magnificent building offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. Designed with an emphasis on natural light, this property has been thoughtfully modernized, balancing spaciousness and style in every room.

The apartment is accessed through a gated entrance leading into a south-facing courtyard, perfect for a bistro set. Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by a living/dining room of classic elegance. A broad window with a built-in seat doubles as storage, and a gleaming parquet floor stretches beneath your feet. The space is light and airy during the day, while ambient lighting options create a cosy atmosphere in the evening. With generous dimensions of 21?5 x 18?0 (6.55m x 5.50m), this room offers ample space for work, relaxation, or entertainment.

At the far end of the room, a door leads to a central passage, where you?ll find one double bedroom and a versatile office space, both tucked quietly at the back. The bedroom offers privacy and overlooks the central courtyard, while the office space provides a peaceful setting for work, also with views of the courtyard. Both rooms are generously sized and decorated in a simple, stylish manner. Across the hall, the contemporary bathroom is spacious enough to accommodate both a statement tub with a shower attachment and a separate walk-in shower with dual heads. It also features a vanity unit below the hand basin, lit mirrored cabinets above, and a second WC next door.

The kitchen, located at the heart of the home, is designed for both function and style with wood countertops and ample storage. A large walk-in pantry ensures the space remains clutter-free, while three lighting options provide flexibility for evening use. The kitchen is plumbed for a dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. A door opens from the kitchen to the central courtyard, offering a delightful space for entertaining, with room for a breakfast table or workstation bathed in natural light.

The principal bedroom, positioned at the back of the apartment, is a serene retreat with windows on both the south and west sides, framing the central courtyard. The courtyard wraps around the room and leads to a shared rear courtyard with steps to the quiet street behind home to Kemptown?s famous Marmalade café.
