These glorious architectural ‘set pieces’ create a hugely attractive and varied townscape, and are tucked away in restful, leafy surroundings, with long vistas down to the sea. Built in 1850, when Brighton was in full swing as the most fashionable place to live outside London; people were flocking here causing the town’s rapid expansion. While many of these substantial villas have since been converted into stylish apartments, their scale and grandeur ensure they remain as exclusive today.

Beautifully maintained, the façade of this house has retained its ornate architectural features, including canted sash bay windows and decorative plasterwork, all crisp and uniform in white. The front gardens are awash with colour and scent to greet you home where a path leads to the main door. This opens to a short communal hallway where your door is clearly numbered.

The door to this apartment opens on the ground floor where stairs rise to the half-landing and WC, then up to the main landing from which the living spaces and two bedrooms reside. It is immediately clear this is a sizable apartment, filled with natural light from the south. Spanning the front of the building, the sitting room and kitchen/dining room are linked by timber panelled bi-fold doors to create either two homely spaces or one large room ideal for entertaining. There is ample space to cosy up in front of the wood burning stove on comfortable furnishings during the cooler months, or to dine around the table alongside the streamlined kitchen which runs along the rear wall, understated in calico cream. The appliances have been integrated so you can move straight in with relative ease and the views from either side, enjoying the the verdant vista of Clifton Gardens ahead with Brighton’s newest landmark: The i360, bringing us back into the 21st Century, piercing the horizon and skies over the sea.

Peacefully positioned to the rear are two beautiful double bedrooms enjoying tranquil garden views. The principal room boasts a chic en suite shower room behind frosted glass panelling, while the second bedroom has easy access to the main bathroom which has a modern take on a period style. Metro brick tiles adorn the walls around the bath which gleams in white with wall mounted taps and a shower above.

Bedrooms three and four are elevated on the second floor. Again, both are double rooms with space for beds and freestanding furnishings, although each room has built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space. Built-into the loft space, these rooms have vaulted ceilings and dormer windows from which the views only improve the further up the house you go.

Stepping outside, the rear garden is a tranquil haven with well-established beds around a lush green lawn. Steps rise to the seating area which feels perfectly private and catches the last of the sunshine during summer.

This exceptional apartment is situated in a popular area close to fashionable Seven Dials and with the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Brighton Station and the A23 which have direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
