Completed in 2006, Avalon is one of Brighton City Centre’s most exciting and prestigious developments. Behind its curved facades adorned with creative ironwork designs, hides a tranquil complex of luxury apartments with secure private parking below.

This contemporary two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment sits elevated on the penthouse floor, high above the hubbub of the city with an incredible south facing sun terrace enjoying sea views. The interior is immaculate and stylish, designed with both luxury living and comfort in mind, ideal for those working hard, but wanting a retreat to come home to after a long week.

For professionals, it is ideally positioned just moments from the promenade and the fashionable bars, restaurants and boutique shops of both Western Road and East Street, while for London commuters, the station is an easy walk.
With two double bedrooms, there is ample space for those working from home, and the secure nature of the building would make it ideal as a lock-up-and-leave, so for investors or second homeowners looking to live in luxury by the sea – this is the place to be.

Why you’ll like it:
The Avalon apartments have transformed Brighton’s famous West Street with their beautifully designed exterior. The sea and promenade can be seen at the bottom of the hill and the city’s landmarks, both old and new, are within easy walking distance. There is a real buzz about this place as it sits so centrally within the city, yet the apartment complex is nicely tucked away from it all. This apartment holds pride of place on the penthouse floor with the largest terrace facing south and west to receive the best of the sunshine and sea views.

The north and south developments curve in towards the gated entrance to the car park with steps leading up to the entrance level. Surrounded by trees and greenery, the inner courtyard is an attractive and well-maintained space which softens the clean, linear form of the modern architecture.

From the communal corridors, you can take the lift or the stairs to the top floor where your door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, you are greeted into a wide and welcoming entrance hall with a large cupboard to house coats, shoes and household items ensuring the flat remains clutter free. Following warm wood flooring along the corridor you come to the exceptional living room with ample glazing to the southerly elevation, where two sets of sliding doors open to the terrace while flooding the space in natural light. Your line of sight takes you along West Street to the coast where the sea and skyscapes are ever changing with the seasons, to be enjoyed from the vast terrace which is covered for use all through the year.

This is a room which invites entertaining in style. There is a vast amount of space for dinner parties, gatherings and relaxation which can spill outside during the warmer seasons when the social space more than doubles. It is a suntrap during summer for sunbathing and lunching, when the beach can feel a little busy.

Inside, the decoration is immaculate with a unique and stylish petrol-blue gloss kitchen with cabinetry echoing the curves of the architecture. Within these, the appliances have been fully integrated, so you can move straight in with ease to start enjoying the space. The westerly wall is also glazed with doors leading to the wrap around balcony which catches the last of the summer sunshine, with windows also running along the easterly elevation to bathe the room in morning light.

Both bedrooms are elegant doubles with wood flooring, built-in wardrobes and direct access to the terrace. While the principal room boasts a chic tiled en suite shower room, bedroom two has easy access to the main bathroom which is equally smart and contemporary with a shower over the bath.

This high-end apartment is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to Brighton Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
