Why you’ll like it:
Occupying the entire second floor of a tall Victorian townhouse at Seven Dials, this beautiful flat sits in a most desirable village location, just minutes from Brighton’s main line station and the centre of town alike. Externally, the house bears the classic architectural detailing of the era, with wide steps leading you to the original front door. Stairs lead up to the second floor where your door greets you, opening into a spacious entrance hall with ample room for coats and other storage or potentially as a work-from-home space as is currently laid out.

You will see as you walk through the rooms the apartment has been completely renovated to a very high standard, with handmade bespoke cabinetry and finished in Farrow & Ball paints throughout. Characterful details such as wall panelling, decorative cornice and tall skirtings reminiscent of the Victorian era have been sympathetically restored to the rooms during renovations.

Into the sunny south-facing living room at the front of the house are two tall sashes flooding the space with natural light. The fully updated kitchen with integrated AEG appliances sits recessed to the rear of the room, fitted with classic cabinetry in neutral tones, paired with charcoal quartz stone worktops and a unique high-storage solution. The kitchen complements the main room where you will find there is space within for formal dining alongside a large bespoke bookcase and storage built into the alcove with relaxed seating beside the fully serviced and working period fireplace.

Sharing the same sunny outlook, bedroom two is a sweet double room to the front of the building. The high ceilings add to the feeling of space, allowing plenty of room for a double bed and freestanding furnishings.

Moving through the flat, the bathroom, a modern take on a period style, is immaculate with a gleaming white bath suite matched with dark wall tiles, again pairing perfectly with the quartz stone top, handmade vanity unit and high-end traditionally styled fixtures and fittings such as an exposed shower valve and column radiator towel rail.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, looking out over neighbouring gardens, the principal bedroom is particularly spacious with stylish wood flooring and restful tones on the panelled walls. Fully fitted wardrobes and large drawers provide plenty of storage space.
