Built during the early 19th Century as part of the Brunswick Town Estate, these townhouses bear the classic curved facades of the era with tall sash windows and iron balconies. At this time, Brighton had become one of the most popular places to live in the UK after the Prince Regent took up residence here in The Royal Pavilion. Now many of these grand buildings have been converted into spacious apartments, but they remain as fashionable today. This sweet apartment is formed from the top floor, giving it incredible views over some iconic landmarks, including the Modernist form of Embassy Court and historical St Andrews Church opposite.

From the moment you enter, you eye is drawn to the bright and generous open plan living room and kitchen where sunlight streams in from the east via three sash windows following the natural curve of the building. This wide bay creates the perfect spot for a dining table and chairs as you can see the sea or watch the world go by as you eat. There is ample space elsewhere for comfortable furnishings and the open plan kitchen has been well designed for the space to include plenty of storage and integrated appliances alongside a wood topped peninsula island and breakfast bar.

Returning to the hall, the bathroom is immediately to the left with a classic white bath suite with shower over. Bedroom two is conveniently next door with peaceful views to the rear. While it is the smaller room, it would house a 4ft double bed and freestanding furnishing or would be ideal as a tranquil home office for those working from home.

With a split-level layout adding to the feeling of space in the flat, a few steps lead down to the principal bedroom to the rear. It is a great size, as even with a king size bed and freestanding pieces of bedroom furniture, the floor space is not compromised. In either room, the elevated position in the building ensures you will always receive a restful night’s sleep.

This bright and airy flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
