With historic rooftops views it is not overlooked, there is a deep under stair cupboard for suitcases or work bags and ample floorspace even with a generous double bed in situ.

Upstairs, the second double bedroom is quiet and comfortable, looking over the tops of its lower Georgian neighbours to the open green spaces of Dorset Gardens, with the pinnacles of the Royal Pavilion peeking through trees to the west.

Tucked away at one end of the room, the streamlined kitchen is sociable but does not dominate the whole space and ideal for entertaining, the stylish units conceal sophisticated storage and high spec integrated appliances include a touch induction hob with lit hood, electric fan oven, fridge and washing machine, so you are good to go.

Vendor’s Comments
“Ideal as a home or investment, the maisonette is spacious enough to share and is lovely and light. The location suits a busy lifestyle, and you can start the day looking at the sea through the kitchen window and watching the boats on the water or swimmers in it – and within a 3 min walk you can enjoy the coast every day. Brighton is famous for its shopping as well as festivals celebrating our inclusive community and during Pride St James’s Street comes alive, but tucked privately away up here, although there is a birds eye view you can close the windows and relax.”
