Clarendon Terrace, Brighton, BN2

***GUIDE PRICE £1,250,000-£1,500,000***

A striking example of late Georgian architecture, 5-6 Clarendon Terrace occupies an enviable position overlooking Brighton’s seafront. Originally constructed in the 1850s as grand townhouses forming part of a terrace built by Cheesemans for William Percival Boxall, this elegant stucco building retains an exceptional sense of period grandeur, with imposing Doric columns, tall sash windows and decorative cast iron railings.

Occupying the first floor at the end of the terrace, this exceptional apartment enjoys an unusually privileged position, with two balconies and far-reaching views extending across the seafront, sea and Brighton cityscape.

Inside, a meticulous and exacting renovation has created a sophisticated, highly individual home where original Regency detailing is beautifully juxtaposed with a glamorous, maximalist aesthetic. Art Deco-inspired wall coverings, feature lighting and rich American Walnut panelling sit alongside ornate ceiling roses, decorative coving and other period details, creating interiors that are both dramatic and effortlessly elegant.

The magnificent sitting room is undoubtedly a centrepiece, with three tall windows arranged around the projecting bow, framing uninterrupted southerly views across the sea. Original wooden shutters remain fully operational, while bespoke walnut panelling conceals the television and backlit alcoves provide the perfect setting for objets d’art.

The principal bedroom occupies the second projecting bay and enjoys equally impressive sea views. The room comes with a beautifully concealed walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious en suite shower room, which in turn provides direct access to the balcony.

At the rear, the kitchen is equally impressive, finished with rich black American Walnut cabinetry and panelling, a suite of Miele appliances, a charming window seat and a substantial island with seating on two sides. A bespoke central lighting installation provides a striking focal point.

Throughout the apartment, no detail has been overlooked. Premium additions include extensive soundproofing to the floors and windows, air conditioning, exceptional storage within the entrance hall and loft space above, together with a dramatic living wall within the principal bathroom.

A wraparound balcony extends across the front of the apartment, facing due south and capturing magnificent views across Brighton Beach towards the Palace Pier and beyond. It provides a wonderful private setting from which to enjoy the ever-changing seafront, from the first light of morning through to the glittering lights of the city after dark.

The setting is equally compelling. With the seafront on the doorstep, there are endless opportunities to enjoy Brighton’s coastal lifestyle, from morning swims and watersports to leisurely walks along the promenade and beach. The cafés, restaurants, boutiques and cultural attractions of central Brighton are also readily accessible.

The apartment further benefits from lift access, video entryphone, a garage and an allocated parking space, while the owners also hold a share of the freehold.

Clarendon Terrace is quietly set back from Marine Parade in a commanding position overlooking the sea, surrounded by some of Brighton’s finest Regency architecture. The nearby streets offer an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants and boutiques, while central Brighton is approximately 1.2 miles away. Brighton Marina, with its extensive shopping, dining and leisure facilities, is approximately one mile away.

Brighton Station, approximately 1.8 miles away, provides fast and direct rail services to London and Gatwick Airport, making this a particularly compelling proposition for those seeking an elegant coastal home with excellent connectivity.
