Chichester House, Chichester Terrace, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

Looking south for uninterrupted sea views this elegant ground floor, 2 bed apartment has use of 7.5 acres of manicured gardens with a tunnel to the beach and plentiful permit parking in one of the prime, historic areas of the city conceived by Thomas Kemp as Belgravia by the Sea. On the prime, southwest corner of a Grade I listed Regency terrace, this spacious, sun-lit home is a rare find and offers a glamorous, Mediterranean lifestyle just 10 mins drive from Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London and about 7 by cab (or a scenic 20-25 min seafront stroll) from the picturesque cultural heart of the city. Opposite beaches with café bars, a lido, yoga centre, and sauna-spa to explore, the café culture of Kemptown Village, which hosts the County Hospital is around the corner and major employers are easy to reach.

Inside, every room enjoys glorious period proportions – and elegant decor. Triple windows in the stunning living dining room rise to frame a spectacular seascape and there is a classic fireplace to enjoy. Sociable at the heart of the apartment, the contemporary kitchen is skilfully designed with a high-spec finish. Ideal for professionals who like to entertain or a small family, the comfortable double rooms on the quiet west side don’t share a wall. The guest room is by a luxury bathroom, whilst the hushed principal suite has space, grace and garden views, and comes complete with awell- organised dressing room and a soothing shower room, en-suite.

Tucked away from the tourists, Historic Kemptown has an al fresco lifestyle, friendly local shops, cafés and bistro bars close by, and both the County Hospital and Brighton College are about an 8 min walk. A few mins from the Marina, St James’s Street which hosts Pride or the South Downs National Park– on foot, by bus or car, now is the time to buy with substantial restoration of the Victorian walkways taking place along the seafront.

Why you’ll like it:
On Kemptown’s famous seafront with astonishing sea views this glamorous apartment is tucked well away from the coast road behind a lawn and service road where plentiful permit parking has no list. The grand entrance is secured by an answer phone system and opens to a smart communal hallway where you will find the entrance to this rare, ground floor apartment.

The Entrance Hall and Reception:
Inside, the hushed hall introduces the elegant tone of the interior, its ceiling rising to an impressive height which continues into the magnificent reception ahead. Sunshine and sea views stream through large, triple windows which follow the graceful south frontage of the building, and with the wow factor when you walk in, you can enjoy an ever-changing seascape in a refined space where you can relax with friends and family in total privacy in front of a classic fireplace.

The Kitchen:
Across the hall, a stylish kitchen with a big window showcases bright, efficient planning with ample storage and hygienic, quartz working surfaces – which also look fabulous. Good to go, high-spec integrated appliances include a touch induction hob beneath a hood, a grill/combi plus a fan oven at eye level, as well as a fridge and freezer.

The Guest Bedroom En-Suite:
Sunny and spacious, the guest bedroom is a peaceful refuge with twin windows to bathe the room with light and to frame oblique sea views. Next door, the luxury bathroom is large enough for a bath and separate walk in shower – and there’s a bidet as well as designer tiling.
The Principal Bedroom, Dressing Room and En-

Suite Shower Room:
Devoted to quiet comfort, the principal bedroom is a quiet sanctuary with the restful proportions only Regency properties can deliver and garden views. Swan neck coving is high over your head, there’s a dressing room lined with organised storage to fill, and the discreet commitment to detail continues in the chic en-suite shower room which has a designer finish.
