Chichester Place, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

A great trade up or investment, this light, split level 1 bed garden apartment has graceful Regency proportions and the sea glitters at the bottom of the hill just 2 blocks down. With a relaxed al fresco lifestyle around the corner, its exclusive location in Kemptown Village is ideal for professionals and sharers as the County Hospital is a 5 min walk and major employers including Brighton College, the legal quarter and Amex are also walkable or within a 15 min bus ride. The Royal Pavilion, surrounding arts venues and picturesque Lanes are a scenic, 20-25 min stroll, and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are about 7 minutes by cab (15 by bus).

Inside, this inviting retreat has a graceful living room with a period frieze, a spacious double bedroom with original features, a bright, contemporary kitchen and a vaulted conservatory to bring the outside in.
One of the most sought after locations in the city, the village is off the main tourist trail with a range of amenities including a Co-Op, pharmacy, farmer’s market, Lido, yoga centre and beach bars whilst a scenic 15 minute walk along the promenade takes you to the waterfront restaurants, cinemas and health club of the Marina- and now is the time to buy with substantial improvements taking place along the seafront.

With independent shops, cafés and bars on your doorstep but out of hearing, this light and airy apartment is a hidden gem, tucked away from tourists but convenient for the city with bus routes to take you into or out of the city.

Within a statuesque, bay fronted building, this light and spacious apartment spans the whole of the raised ground floor, and inside all improvements have been sympathetic, keeping precious period detail which includes stately plasterwork in the communal hallway. Absolutely beautiful with a large bay almost filling the east wall and a Regency style fireplace to relax by the living room is a restful refuge to return to after a busy day in the city. There is generous floorspace in which to spread your wings and the high ceiling is adorned by a floral frieze and a ceiling rose.

Next door with garden views, the peaceful double bedroom has a wall of built in wardrobes, impressive height and romantic roses feature in its frieze. Along the hall, the contemporary shower room has painted panelling, mosaic tiling and a Mira Sport shower.

Perfect for parties but also for every day, at the back of the apartment the cheerful kitchen is open to the conservatory, ideal for entertaining. Good to go with practical storage and plenty of working surfaces, appliances include a central gas hob, electric oven, new boiler and there is plumbing for a washing machine.

Vaulted with seven sides of glass and opening to the garden, the conservatory is a sun trap. Outside, the garden is private, designed for ease of maintenance, and open to the south it gets the sun for most of the day.

Agent’s Thoughts
“Close to the sea, this spacious, light apartment is a fabulous coastal home in an exclusive area where Regency homes just a few minutes’ walk from the city sell fast! With Brighton College Prep at the end of the street and near to the hospital, Amex (and its new pedestrian plaza) and legal quarter it is convenient for professionals, and with bus routes to the station if you don’t want to walk, it is also a solid investment.”

Owner’s secret:
“The Regency building itself is beautiful and secure, and all the rooms are light and spacious. The reception is ideal for quiet evenings or entertaining, and the walk back from the city by the sea is a daily reminder to go out and enjoy the unique, coastal location. Friends will love it here and it is the natural place to meet before or after spending time on the beach, in the village or in Brighton where there is so much to do whatever you’re into, and although it is so convenient for the vibrant Lanes and St James’s Street (on the Pride route), it is quieter than you expect at night.”
