Why you’ll like it:
Chic and central, now is the time to buy this fabulous apartment on the prime southwest corner of a striking block where the entrance is on a relatively quiet one way street with a small car park where permits may be available separately – although you really don’t need a car in this area of the city. Built with comfort and security in mind with a secure entry system, all windows and doors are double glazed a lift large enough for bikes and buggies awaits to whisk you to the 11th floor and the entrance to this apartment.

Inside, it is easy to shake off the stress of the day in a hushed hallway. Ahead, the stunning living space spans the corner of the building, with a south wall of glass which opens to the sunny balcony ideal for friends to spill out to and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this coastal location. Windows to the west frame the glittering pier as well as the sunsets and there’s 6.69 x 3.51m (21’11 x 11’6) in which to work, rest or play. Tucked away from the in/out flow, the streamlined kitchen area has a sociable breakfast bar but does not dominate the space, and it is skilfully planned with plenty of storage and practical working surfaces, all of which flow from the high gas hob and oven beneath a hood.
Both facing south for the Sussex sunshine and glorious views of the sea by day and the glitter of the city beneath at night, both bedrooms are generous doubles, great for sharers, and the modern bathroom is good to go with a contemporary dual heads shower above the bath, a vanity unit below the hand basin and a lit mirror above.

Agent says:
“Big and bright, this stylish apartment offers almost instant access to the Brighton lifestyle in a great, central position near the beach and major employers, and it’s good to go as a home or a rental.”

Owner’s Secret:
“This location is ideal with the sea, a park with tennis courts and everything you could need from fresh produce to a chemist on your doorstep, and you’ll enjoy feeling very connected to the city even when you are tucked away inside. The south and west views are stunning but ensure complete privacy, the block is well maintained and you can walk to major employers, the pier and the arts venues of the Lanes.”
