Arundel Street, Brighton, BN2

A luxury refuge with the wow factor as soon as you walk in, this one bedroom patio apartment is a great first time buy or high end investment, tucked away on a quiet road with sea at the end of it and within 5 minutes – on foot- of local shops and a park leading to open countryside. With a cheerful east/west orientation, on the lower floor of an attractive period property built in an age reliant on natural light all of the rooms have plenty of it, and beautifully refurbished it delivers sophisticated open plan living with limed oak flooring in the spacious living room and private bedroom, and a high end contemporary bathroom. Homes in this peaceful street are within easy reach but out of hearing of some of our city’s largest employers, (eg the Royal Sussex County Hospital is a 10 minute walk,) and are a rare find which sell fast -as this sought after area near to the waterfront bars, restaurants and health club of the Marina attracts professionals, families and international investors with both the picturesque Lanes and station serving the airports and London about a 10 minute cab ride, and now is the time to buy as work is underway to improve the neighbouring Black Rock and residential housing is being discussed relating to the plot behind.

One of Brighton’s best kept secrets, this well-kept street with plentiful permit parking is one which when found, people tend to stay, and as homes here do not appear on the market often there is a friendly community so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to the south coast. With its own, private entrance from the front, this sheltered beauty also has a gate from the quiet lane behind into the pretty patio – perfect for bikes.

Inside, ceilings are high and windows are big so all the rooms are light and airy, and the wide hallway is a classic beauty with wood panelling painted in heritage hues, plenty of space for storage and stylish limed oak flooring which continues into the glamorous open plan living room. Spanning a generous 16’8 x 13’3 (5.09 x 4.04m) this is an inviting haven with scope to create defined areas for work, rest or play. Tucked along one wall, so it is sociable but not dominant, the streamlined kitchen is right on trend and ramps up the glamour with a choice of lighting levels to enjoy and sleek integrated appliances.

Peaceful and private at the back of the building with the gracious proportions only Kemptown’s grand period properties can provide, the restful principal bedroom is not directly overlooked and has 12’6 x 11’3 (3.81 x 3.44) of floorspace to play with, so ample room for furniture even with a double bed in situ. Central to the apartment, you are serenely secluded in a luxury shower room which offers discreet indulgence with marbled porcelain from top to toe, a dual head shower system, a contemporary handbasin on a vanity unit and a warming rail for towels.

Outside, the L shaped patio is a sheltered oasis with space for a table and chairs for having fun in the sun and it’s lit for al fresco dining, too. Gravel underfoot brings a seaside theme and just a few pots – or palm trees- would make it party perfect.

Agent says:

“With the sea and a park which leads onto the South Downs only a few minutes away on foot, this luxury home is in a quiet but connected area of the city within easy reach of major employers including the Royal Sussex County Hospital and Amex, and it is good to go as a home or a rental.”

Owner’s secret:

“With bright rooms, a layout and stylish decoration this apartment also suits a busy lifestyle as although you’re in the city – or out of it - in minutes- you return to peace and friendly neighbours.”
