It’s the heady combination of beautiful architecture alongside the cosmopolitan vibe of Seven Dials and the proximity to both the beach and the station which has made this district one of the most popular places to live in the city. Strolling to the beach from Seven Dials, you pass Montpelier Crescent to the left, with Vernon Terrace to your right, and together they form one of the city’s finest townscapes.

Attractive on the approach, these 19 th Century townhouses are adorned with the classic architectural features of the period and standing five storeys tall they certainly command an air of grandeur. This apartment spans the entire lower ground floor, so it enjoys the generous proportions of the period and has its own street entrance giving a feeling of privacy.

Stepping first into the entrance vestibule, there is ample space for hanging coats and organising shoes, plus there are further cupboards in the entrance hall for household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

Stepping into the main body of the flat, a long corridor stretches ahead adding to the feeling of space. It does not feel lower ground at all as natural light is able to stream in on both sides and fresh white walls serve to brighten each space further. Solid oak floors flow into each of the principal rooms, with the bedroom sitting first to the right.

In a building of this size, the rooms are elegant with high ceilings on all floors. This room is a beautiful double room with space for a king size four poster bed and several pieces of freestanding bedroom furnishings without compromising on floor space. Two wide sash windows are fitted with white shutters, bringing both form and function to the space which has a private outlook being set well back from the road.

Nearby, the shower room has a modern take on a period style with brick wall tiles and patterned flooring, while the fittings are traditional within the shower and towel rail.

The far end of the hallway opens to the living room and dining room which invites entertaining with space for a large dining table below pendant lighting. Elsewhere there is space for large and comfortable furnishings for relaxation, looking out to the courtyard garden which becomes a natural extension of the home during summer. Tall white walls give the feel of the Mediterranean while shingle flooring echoes the beach nearby. With a southerly aspect due to curve on the crescent, this space does receive some sunshine, so plants can be grown on the raised flower shelf.

Adjoining the living room, the kitchen is well-appointed with smart shaker style cabinets in white paired with solid oak worktops to complement the floor. All appliances have been integrated for you, so you can move straight in with relative ease.

This attractive and spacious flat is perfectly situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and green spaces on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and beach are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Brighton Station, and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the universities, the airports and London should you require them on a daily or weekly basis.
