Why you’ll like it:
Built in the 1960s, Abbotts has an archetypal linear façade offering a wealth of glazing to maximise the light and views within its generous apartments. It sits on the southern corner of Brighton’s beautiful Regency Square, offering charming views over its striking Regency townhouses and immaculate lawns.

You approach up some wide stone steps to where a secure video entry system provides access through glazed double doors into the grand communal hallway where your door is immediately to the left. This opens to an entrance lobby where there are deep cupboards for your coats and shoes, and from here it is clear this is a sizable apartment. The ceilings are high, and you are immediately struck by how quiet it is for a city centre location. It is clean and fresh with white walls and quality laminate flooring along the hallway – a blank canvas for new owners.

First as you enter however is the bathroom which sits directly ahead. The deep bath has a retro feel in lemon cream which works perfectly with the cool grey wall tiles, while the hand basin and toilet pedestal are modern in white. There is a separate shower for when time is of the essence, and a broad heated rail for towels. There is also a separate WC which is useful for guests or sharers, and both rooms are easily accessible from the bedrooms. While everything is in fine condition and the retro look is making a comeback – this is an ideal space for adding value with modernisation.

Bedroom two is the first room to the left where you gain the first lovely views of the square; the iconic turquoise balustrades lining the promenade, and Brighton’s modern landmark: The i360 (about to reopen during summer 2025), takes centre stage. Ever changing with the seasons, the seascapes take many forms, but in the summer when it sparkles, it is delightful. There is plenty of space in here for a king-size bed and for several pieces of bedroom furniture, yet built-in wardrobes maximise the space.

The principal bedroom next door shares the same sunny aspect but is more spacious with a full wall of built-in storage. Looking further along the coast you get a glimpse of the West Pier’s remains and the Boer War Memorial statue standing silhouetted against the sky. Both bedrooms have soft grey carpet underfoot, and double-glazed windows to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

More spacious still, the living and dining room has ample space for a table and chairs and large, comfortable sofas. The westerly wall feels almost entirely glazed so the room is beautifully bright, and with a westerly aspect, the sun sets are exceptional all year round. Every window along this side of the apartment has a ‘tilt and turn’ dual opening system, so you can easily clean the windows on both sides - saving a fortune on window cleaners!

Passing more full-height storage cupboards, the kitchen is next with modern cabinetry in white with a black trim, topped with contrasting dark surfaces. The electric oven and induction hob are integrated, leaving space and plumbing for other appliances. There is space for a kitchen table in here should you require one, and while this is a smart and modern room, there remains plenty of scope fir further improvements.

At the end of the hall, a second door leads out to the side of the building becoming a handy second entrance as you need not go through the communal areas. This flat has a key for the bollards protecting the visitor bays, and these are conveniently right outside your door!

Agent’s thoughts:
The space, light and views in this flat are excellent, making this a fantastic investment property with huge scope to add value.

Owner’s thoughts:
“You cannot pick a better location from which to enjoy this city. You are at the centre of the
cultural and social districts, and you have glorious beach is on your doorstep! This is also an incredibly quiet building as it is so well built, and the neighbours are all lovely - many of which only have their flats as a second/holiday home, so you rarely see them. We will miss the views the most though – especially the sunsets which are simply breathtaking.”
