Why you’ll like it:
Brunswick Town has long been heralded as one of the property hotspots in the city. The iconic cream facades of the Regency townhouses command an air of grandeur which has not been lost since their inception, early in the 19th Century. Many have since been converted into separate apartments such as this one, but they are still as sought after today for their generous proportions and favoured coastal location.
Elevated on the second floor with a split-level layout, this apartment feels particularly bright and spacious. It sits on Lansdowne Square which is peacefully tucked away from the main seafront road while remaining less than a minute from Hove Beach and Lawns.

Attractive on the approach, these gracious homes are statuesque; adorned with the architectural features of the period, including Doric columns and original tiled steps leading up to the main front door.

Entering the property, the scale and stunning period features within the building become apparent. The communal ways are well kept, and cast-iron balustrades rise to the first floor where your door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, an internal staircase with ruby carpet rises to the first half landing, leading to the bedroom, peacefully positioned to the rear of the building.
Restful and stylish, the bedroom is large with ample room for a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding bedroom furniture. Two large sash windows face east, bringing in plenty of natural light to gently wake you in the morning, although the views are private looking out to the urban landscape.

More steps rise to the upper landing where light filters in through a stained-glass fan window, high up above the stairwell. To the right, a short corridor with built-in storage for linen, leads through to the kitchen and bathroom sitting side by side. Within the kitchen, solid ok units and worktops have a country feel, leaving space for freestanding appliances. Next door, the bathroom is classic in white with a shower over the bath, and while both rooms are in fine condition, they would benefit from some modernisation, allowing new owners to put their own stamp on the place.

Spanning the front of the building, the living room is particularly airy and spacious with wood flooring and room to dine at a table by the window. Fresh white walls offer a blank canvas and two sash windows frame views over the historic rooftops of Regency Hove. A wood burning stove sits within the mantlepiece to bring warmth and atmosphere to wintery suppers and evenings in, relaxing on sumptuous sofas watching a movie.

This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction.

Should you view, offer or bid on the property, your information will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold. This method of auction requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days of the draft contract for sale being received by the buyers solicitor. This additional time allows buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey). The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee. This being 4.50% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600.00 including VAT. The Reservation Fee is paid in addition to purchase price and will be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property in the calculation for stamp duty liability.

Buyers will be required to go through an identification verification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded. This property has a Buyer Information Pack which is a collection of documents in relation to the property. The documents may not tell you everything you need to know about the property, so you are required to complete your own due diligence before bidding. A sample copy of the Reservation Agreement and terms and conditions are also contained within this pack. The buyer will also make payment of £349.00 including VAT towards the preparation cost of the pack, where it has been provided by iamsold. The property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price with both the Reserve Price and Starting Bid being subject to change.

This deceptively spacious flat is perfectly situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to both Brighton and Hove Stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
