**GUIDE PRICE: £475,000 - £500,000**

Tucked away in a peaceful twitten at the heart of the Lanes —just a short stroll from the seafront—this fabulous two-bedroom maisonette offers the perfect blend of tranquility, luxury, and location. With a rare south-facing terrace and a private balcony overlooking the boutique-lined, pedestrian-only lane below, it’s a serene escape right in the middle of the action. Add in secure gated access and allocated parking, and you have one of Brighton’s best-kept secrets.

Set within a professionally managed development in the city’s historic Lanes, the property is surrounded by vibrant shops, cafes, and restaurants. Yet thanks to its position in a quiet, tucked-away passage, there’s a calm, almost hidden quality that’s hard to find so close to the city buzz. This stylish home is ready to move into—ideal as a relaxing seaside residence or a high-end investment. Brighton Station is a 10-minute walk away, via shopping streets or leafy gardens with fountains, offering direct trains to Gatwick and London.

Inside, you’ll enjoy 76.36m² (821.92 sq. ft.) of contemporary living. The light-filled living-dining room opens to the sunny balcony, perfect for watching the world go by from above. A separate, streamlined kitchen is ideal for everyday use or entertaining. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms (each with fitted wardrobes and no shared walls) offer peace and privacy, and the luxury bathroom is finished to a high standard.

Homes in this exclusive terrace rarely come to market. Quiet, secure, and stylish, yet right in the heart of Brighton’s most fashionable district, it offers the best of both worlds. With buses to every part of the city and easy access to the A23/A27, the South Downs, M23, and County Town of Lewes are all within easy reach.

Why you’ll like it:

Surrounded by chic shopping, international restaurants, fashionable bars and glamorous arts venues this is an electrifying part of our glittering party resort – but at the heart of the pedestrian Dukes Lane, set within the historic South Lane you can enjoy the graceful Regency architecture and unique atmosphere of the picturesque heart of the city too.

Tucked away with secure access from the gated car park or the lane itself, this secret retreat is on the first floor above commercial premises, reached via shared stairs. This small terrace of homes is set back from a common path by broad south facing terraces, each with their own character and with delineated space to enjoy the sunshine.

Inside, the inviting living dining room has crisp contemporary lines, oak flooring and spot lit ceiling. With plenty of space for work rest and play – and even a built in desk in the south bay, this room sweeps open to a spacious balcony ideal for friends to spill out to and soak up the unique atmosphere of this exciting, central location – unseen from below. On trend, the kitchen is separately tucked away from the social flow in its own space with streamlined units, practical layout and working surfaces. High spec appliances include a gas hob, fan oven and hood, and there’s plumbing for a washing machine, so you are good to go.

Upstairs, the light and airy bathroom has a luxury finish with a dual head shower above the bath, a vanity unit beneath the hand basin and warming rails for towels. Two, double bedrooms are generous sizes – important if you are sharing or inviting guests for a weekend- and are comfortable with simple but stylish decoration and fitted wardrobes to fill.

Agent says:

“Brighton has beautiful beaches, a busy nightlife and lively inclusive community. This fantasy retreat is within a gated terrace in an exclusive location with everything you could possibly want within walking distance whatever your mood. Please contact our sales team ASAP if you’d like to view.”

Owner’s secret:

“I have owned this property for almost 30 years, despite being in the heart of it all, the property is wonderfully calm and peaceful – a perfect little oasis! Close to the beach and fabulous shopping the apartment is easy to live in with a free flow from the quiet sun terrace at the front to the balcony over the lane, both perfect for meeting to decide how we will spend our weekends – and which events to enjoy. Warm in the winter but light and airy during summer, the terrace is friendly and is secure, and the location suits a busy lifestyle with instant access to everything this coastal resort has to offer – and we also have almost 24hr transport links to the stations and airports, although once through the gates and up to the terrace, you would never know!”
