Eaton Place, Brighton, BN2

This light filled, three bedroom maisonette apartment has glorious proportions, on a wide tree lined street that leads down to the seafront. Close to Kemp Town Village, famous for its al fresco lifestyle, Sussex County Hospital, Brighton College – and the new waterfront Lido, beach bars and cafés- this bright and spacious apartment is ideal for professionals seeking a home, holiday home seekers or investors-there is no onward chain.
Located in one of Brighton’s finest streets this split level apartment is a hidden gem. Kemp Town Village with its independent shops, cafés and bars is a short walk away, the Sussex County Hospital is within 3 minutes’ walk, and a 15-20 minute scenic stroll along the seafront takes you either west to the City Centre or east to the Brighton Marina with its restaurants, cinema and superstore. There is also the added bonus of Brighton Station, with its direct trains to London, within 5-8 minutes by taxi or 15 minutes by bus.


The apartment across 117.78 sq ft forms the first and upper floors of a substantial period property. With a large bay window and tall ceilings with ornate cornices, as well as a period painted fire surround and mantlepiece with gas flame fire, the West facing reception room is a restful and light filled refuge. There is ample space in which to rest or play as well as entertain in a formal dining area.

The separate kitchen benefits from an Easterly aspect overlooking the rear gardens and with a high sash window through which the light floods in. The kitchen has free standing IKEA units, deep wooden work tops and a wood laminate floor.

There is a wall mounted Vailant gas boiler as well as space for a free standing fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen is large enough to provide space for a kitchen table and 6 chairs.

There is a spacious bathroom towards the rear, with bath and separate electric powered shower as well as WC, basin, heated towel rail and storage cupboard. A separate WC with wash basin is next to the bathroom.

A flight of wooden stairs takes you past a high sash window to the top floor where you find three bedrooms. The main double bedroom is large and well proportioned, enjoys an Easterly aspect looking over rear gardens, and has plenty of space for furnishings. The second double bedroom is of a similar size and it has leafy views, space for a quiet study area and as well as for bedroom furniture.

There is a smaller third bedroom with a floor to ceiling cupboard for storage, again facing West, which could also be used as a study. On the top landing there is also an airing cupboard with a hot water heating cylinder, electric immersion heater and storage.

Agent’s Thoughts

Close to the Sussex County Hospital, Amex (and its new pedestrian plaza) and the legal quarter it is convenient for professionals, and has bus stops at the top of the street with buses regularly travelling to all parts of the City of Brighton & Hove."

Owner’s secret:

“The rooms are light, very well proportioned and spacious. The bay fronted reception room is ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is large enough to be the social point in the home. The sea at the bottom of the street is a daily reminder to go out and enjoy the beachfront and stunning South Coast. It is a short car drive to the picturesque countryside of the South Downs."
