Worcester Court, Brighton, East Sussex

This wonderful apartment is perfectly located on Windlesham Road, just a 15-minute walk from Brighton seafront. The interiors have undergone a complete renovation in the past two years, and a soothing blue colour palette has been used throughout. Worcester Court sits within the popular Seven Dials area of Brighton, a neighbourhood brimming with fantastic bars and restaurants.



The Tour



Found on the raised ground floor, a smart blue front door forms the entry to the apartment. It opens to reveal an entrance hall with wooden floorboards underfoot and walls washed in shades of blue. Recent refurbishments have introduced all new electrics, including fuse box, refinished floors throughout, and bespoke solid wood cabinetry.



A bright living room sits to the rear of the plan, bathed in natural light from large windows on two sides that capture views of the trees and shrubbery beyond. Built-in storage on one wall provides a place for books and artwork and is coloured in a deep blue tone to complement the walls. Timber radiator surrounds have been added here and throughout.



The kitchen sits adjacent to the living room. Here, one wall is washed in a warm orange tone, while oak-topped cabinetry has been painted midnight blue. Teal tiles form a splashback on one wall, and herringbone flooring runs underfoot. Large casement windows with leafy views fill the room with light, and there is plenty of storage space. Appliances include an electric oven with a hob and a Bosch combined washing machine and dryer.



A bright bedroom lies at the front of the home, where a large window with new blinds provides views of a cherry blossom tree, and built-in storage runs the length of the opposite wall. Additional storage is found in the hall. In the bathroom, white tiled walls contrast with splashes of red and blue on the walls and ceiling, and there is a large bathtub with a glazed panel.
