New Steine, Brighton

Occupying the second floor of an attractive period building overlooking one of Kemp Town’s garden squares, this one-bedroom apartment offers a wonderful balance of character, light and location, with views across the New Steine towards the sea beyond. 

The apartment sits just moments from the seafront – the beach is little more than a one-minute walk away – and close to the independent cafés, restaurants and shops of Kemp Town Village, making it perfectly positioned for enjoying Brighton’s coastal lifestyle. Everything you need is within a minute or two on foot, yet the location itself feels surprisingly calm, with a real neighbourhood feel and the communal garden enclosure adding greenery and space between the buildings. 

Inside the apartment, you enter a central hallway which leads through to the main living space at the front. Here, a large bay window frames views across the gardens and towards the sea, filling the room with incredible natural light – particularly in the mornings when the sunrise light pours into the living space. The current owners have opened up the wall between the living room and kitchen, creating a more open-plan layout that feels sociable and airy, while still allowing for defined spaces for cooking, dining and relaxing. The kitchen area is fitted with modern units and integrated appliances, with space for a dining table by the window – a lovely spot for breakfast or a morning coffee. 

The double bedroom sits quietly at the rear of the property, where the evening brings warm golden sunset light into the room, making it a calm and relaxing space at the end of the day. The shower room is modern and fully tiled, with a large shower enclosure and useful storage. 

The apartment has also undergone extensive renovation work in recent months, including new flooring throughout, new electric radiators which can be controlled remotely via WiFi, new skirting boards, redecoration throughout, and updates to both the kitchen and bathroom including a new vanity unit and fittings. As a result, this home feels fresh, well-finished and ready to move straight into.

Altogether, this is a space that offers something many Brighton properties don’t – sea views, beautiful light throughout the day, everything on your doorstep, and the ability to be in the centre of Brighton within minutes, yet come home to a quieter, neighbourhood setting by the sea.
