Buckingham Street, Brighton, BN1

Perched on one of the city’s famous hills just a few minutes from Brighton Station, sits this sunny and spacious, two-bedroom maisonette. It is formed from the upper two floors of a tall Victorian townhouse with an open south-easterly aspect, so it is filled with natural light throughout the day. Each of the rooms are well proportioned with original features including a period fireplace and sash windows, and being elevated from the city, these frame panoramic views across the city to the sea. Transport links are excellent, as are the local schools, and you can walk to the city centre shops and the beach with ease, making this the ideal home for small families, investors, professional sharers and commuters alike.

Why you’ll like it:
While this property is just minutes on foot from the fashionable Seven Dials District, Brighton Station and Brighton City Centre, it is peacefully tucked away from the main roads, so it is incredibly quiet for somewhere so central. Being elevated, both on the hill and within the building itself, only adds to the tranquillity, and when you are home, you have delightful views over the city’s rooftops below vast open skies.

Externally the house is uniform with its neighbours with the classic architectural detailing of the era, and a few stone steps lead to your door. The communal ways are shared with just two others, and an internal flight of stairs takes you up to the main body of the apartment which adds to the feeling of space within.

With the loft conversion completed 4 years ago years ago, it is now a stylish home and feels more like a house than an apartment once you’re inside. New, vintage style column radiators have been fitted throughout which adds to the period feel.

The kitchen sits to the rear and has been well-designed to include plenty of storage and includes an under counter fridge and freezer and a washing machine while the oven and electric hob have been integrated. From here, a door leads through to the bathroom which has 2 windows and metro brick tiling around the bath which has a shower over it.

Passing a very deep storage cupboard, steps lead up to the living room and bedroom one. The bedroom looks out over the neighbouring gardens to the rear and is a fine size double with space for a king size bed and includes a large wardrobe with hanging space a drawers, without compromising on floor space.

Spanning the front of the building, the living room is a beautiful space with a generous amount of glazing on its southerly wall bringing in natural light and some exceptional views of the city. This room has ash timber laminate flooring and ample space for relaxation and formal dining within the wide bay. From here you can look out over the rooftops of the city to the sea spanning from east to west across the landscape which sparkles at night as the city lights up.

Zesty lemon and grey steps lead up to the new loft room which is another double room, meaning this property would be ideal for professional sharers who would find the location ideal – but also for families with one or two children as there is space for two single beds. There is also extra storage space within the eaves and an en suite WC has been added so no need for night time visits to the bathroom downstairs.

This attractive and spacious maisonette is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and the parks are within easy reach, and this apartment also offers easy access to the A23 as well as Brighton Station with its regular, fast links to the airports and London.
