De Courcel Road, Brighton, BN2

The Property
Step into a slice of Brighton’s history at The French Apartments, an iconic Grade II listed building inspired by stunning French Renaissance architecture. Perfectly positioned on the seafront, this beautiful one-bedroom home combines period character with modern ease — and comes complete with its own private courtyard garden, communal lawn, and an allocated parking space within the residents’ car park.

Set in an enviable coastal spot just moments from Brighton Marina, you’ll find everything you need right on your doorstep — from boutique shops and waterside restaurants to a cinema, gym/health club and big name supermarket. Regular bus services stop close by, offering easy connections into Brighton city centre and the vibrant Kemptown district, known for its independent cafés, colourful streets, and lively arts scene.

The apartment offers a thoughtfully designed layout of around 62.5 sq. m (673 sq. ft).

The entrance hall leads through to an impressive lounge/diner (5.37m x 5.33m) — a generous, sociable space perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

Just off the living area sits a well-equipped kitchen (2.60m x 2.27m), neatly designed with fitted cabinetry and room for appliances.

The bedroom (4.88m x 4.13m-L-shaped), is an impressive size, featuring a modern en-suite bathroom, with a full bath and shower over.

A convenient guest WC is positioned off the hallway for visitors.

Outside

Step out from the lounge into a delightful private courtyard garden — a peaceful retreat ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks. Residents also enjoy access to a large communal lawn, adding to the sense of space and greenery rarely found so close to the sea.

With allocated parking in the residents’ gated car park and the seafront just moments away, this property blends coastal charm with everyday convenience.
