Montpelier & Clifton Hill Conservation Area has long been heralded as one of the city’s property hotspots with flats and houses holding their value over the years. Not only is the architecture striking, but the beach, Hove Lawns and Regency gardens are on your doorstep to be enjoyed throughout the year. You are also perfectly placed between Brighton and Hove’s social, commercial and cultural centres with excellent transport links to take you throughout the city and beyond – what’s not to love?

This property sits within the ground floor of a grand townhouse on Montpelier Place – close to the boutique shops and artisan cafes of Western Road but nicely tucked away from the main thoroughfare.

Stepping into the apartment, there is a useful understairs cupboard for storage opposite the door to the main studio room. Currently, the room feels a little cluttered due to its furnishings, but once vacant, it feels perfectly spacious with a smart, neutral decoration throughout. There is ample space for a dining table within the bay window, while elsewhere there is room for clever design allowing space to sleep and relax, or work from home. The kitchen runs discreetly along one wall with some integrated appliances, leaving space for others, and while everything is in fine working order, it is here where value could be added with some renovation. The ceiling is high and there are some beautiful features to include a large, original marble fireplace, decorative cornicing and timber framed sash windows.

Nerby, the shower room is traditional in blue with patterned floor tiles and French doors opening to a sweet balcony, looking down to the neighbouring courtyard. During

summer, the doors can be left open allowing the cool coastal breeze to flow through the flat.

This sweet studio flat 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 home also offers easy access to both Hove and Brighton Stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
