Why you’ll like it:
Standing outside this elegant townhouse in white, you gain a direct line of sight down to the sea. This property is formed within the upper floors, so you share the communal hallway with just one other on the ground floor. As a split-level apartment, it feels particularly spacious with stairs rising through each level where high ceilings and white walls greet you. Soft fawn carpet runs throughout the principal rooms and landings, offering a smart, neutral and blank canvas to the new owners.

From the first half-landing, the kitchen and breakfast room has been well-designed for the space with room for a kitchen table alongside streamlined white cabinetry offering plenty of storage. The oven, hob and fridge freezer are integrated, leaving space for a dishwasher and a washing machine which may be available by separate negotiation.

Stepping up to the second landing, you come to the first floor where the living room spans the front of the building with a full height bay window facing west, bringing in a glorious light during the afternoon and early evening during summer. There is ample space in here for formal dining within the bay and for comfortable furnishings to relax on in the evening, and the period fireplace, cornicing and dado rails have been retained, adding character to the room.
Next door, the bathroom is particularly spacious with both a bathtub and a separate shower cubicle for when time is of the essence. The high ceiling on this floor also allows for a drying rack above the bath so the cool coastal air from the sash window can dry your clothes during summer without using up precious energy.

Both bedrooms sit on the top floor echoing the footprint of the rooms below. They are generous double rooms with the larger room to the front benefitting from two built-in wardrobes. The views to the rear now reach over the local landscape to the east below open skies, while to the front, they look out over the rooflines of Regency Brighton & Hove to the west where the sunsets are breath-taking.

Agent’s thoughts:
Spacious, stylish and brilliantly located for so many, this property will attract those looking to live the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle in the city by the sea.

Owner’s thoughts:
“There is a real sense of community in Clifton Hill and Brunswick Town, so it is ideal for families and professionals alike. This could be a fantastic investment as a rental as there is always demand in Brighton and Hove, but it has plenty of space for sharers or a smaller family too.”
