Chesham Place, Brighton

A striking and unique generous two double bedroom apartment arranged over three floors, complete with a private roof terrace overlooking the sea, set within an attractive Regency building in Brighton's Kemptown.

Situated at the southern end of Chesham Place - a quiet sought-after street leading onto the seafront - this upper-floor apartment, recently renovated, enjoys spectacular sea views from the open plan kitchen and living space as well as from the roof terrace.

The outside of the building is in immaculate condition, having recently undergone redecoration (Winter '24) including a complete refurbishment of all the sash windows with new glass and draught proofing installed.

Entry to the apartment is on the third floor of the building. A welcoming landing space provides a capacious storage cupboard for coats, shoes and sports gear. On this same level is a separate WC and the main bathroom. There is underfloor heating throughout this level and multiple storage spaces.

A carpeted staircase leads you up to the main double height hallway with a modern steel staircase extending up to the top floor. This landing area benefits from plenty of natural light pouring in from a roof light above as well as an east facing window, perfect for plants to thrive in. A large floor to ceiling glazed door leads you into the striking open plan kitchen, living and dining space. The first thing you notice is the sea view from behind the kitchen counter.

This large room has four arched sash windows with both westerly and southerly views. A built-in wooden bench sits under the south-facing window, offering the perfect spot to enjoy the ever-changing horizon. This room has engineered oak flooring running throughout with substantial sound insulation installed in the renovations. The living and dining space comfortably accommodates two sofas and a large dining table.

The kitchen is both practical and distinctive, the bespoke steel worktops continue into a breakfast bar providing seating for up to four. Integrated appliances include a Quooker boiling water tap, fan oven with a separate grill oven, induction hob, dishwasher and a large built-in fridge-freezer. Several large drawers provide food and cooking equipment storage as well as a double-fronted larder cupboard with shelving and sockets for additional appliances. Recessed LED dimmable lighting has been installed throughout the room allowing the lighting to be adapted to suit all occasions; be it cosy winter dinners or early morning coffee.

The oak flooring follows through into the hallway and the main double bedroom. This benefits from a large east-facing window allowing morning light in. There are substantial built-in wardrobes providing plentiful storage.

The bespoke steel staircase with spalted beech treads leads from the main hallway to the top floor, where you'll find a spacious double bedroom with original pine floorboards, built-in bookshelves and a modern ensuite shower room with WC. The ensuite has large slab tiling, underfloor heating, towel rad, LED lighting and a sleek contemporary finish. Generous eaves storage runs along both sides of this room, one of which is fitted with power points and currently houses a second fridge and freezer, utilised for rooftop entertaining purposes. A large smooth sliding glass window provides easy access up a few steps to the fully decked roof terrace. Where the sea view can truly be admired.

The main bathroom situated on the lower floor is finished in microcement and features a double-ended enamel bath, separate walk-in shower with both rainfall and handheld fittings, and a wall-hung basin unit with a birch ply-fronted draw. A large built-in cupboard with sliding doors houses a 210-litre dual immersion heater, fitted clothes drying racks and a washing machine. The bathroom benefits from underfloor heating.

Above the bathroom, there's a substantial storage loft accessible via a drop-down ladder accessed from the entrance hall. This floor also benefits from a separate WC with a reeded glass window, LED recessed lighting, hand wash basin and a marble surface.

***Owners Comments***

"We have loved living here for over twelve years and are reluctantly moving due to the new practicalities of parenthood! For several years we planned and saved up for major works to open up the living space, create a more sociable setting, convert the top floor to a second bedroom with en-suite and maximise on the incredible natural light this space has to offer. We are delighted with the final result especially the unique opportunity to cook and entertain in one space with sea views for all. Many hours have been spent staring out of the window at the sea and the horizon, we have even spotted a pod of dolphins over morning coffee.

Our local area highlights include (in no particular order) - Marmalade cafe, Butlers wine shop, beach swims and beers, seed & sprout health food shop, bison bar/ Fika rooftop, The Sea Lanes pool and sauna..... sundowners and BBQs on the roof terrace.... year-round sunsets & the passing Starling murmurations. Can't ask for more... We hope you love it as much as we have."
