In a chic, sought after area with the sea at the end of the Grade II listed Regency terrace, this elegant 2 bed maisonette is on a quiet, one-way street with plentiful permit parking. With 2 spacious storeys, a social flow and contemporary finish it’s an ideal home or a great rental around the corner from the al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown Village (with bistro bars, yoga, a gym and Lido tucked away on the local beach), only a 4 min walk from the County Hospital whilst Brighton’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are about 15 by bus or 7 by cab.
Inside a sensitive conversion has created a light-filled retreat where the sociable living dining room has ample space for work, rest or play and both the streamlined kitchen and contemporary bathroom have a high-end finish. A utility area and inner lobby have extra space for storage whilst peaceful and private on the top floor, both double bedrooms are generous sizes and ready to move into. The perfect place for friends to gather, the village has plenty of amenities including a weekly farmer’s market, the area is well served for green spaces which hold events during our legendary festivals and a 15-20 minute stroll along the seafront (or St James’s Street -on the Pride route) will take you to the picturesque cultural heart of our famous coastal resort, surrounded by the famous Lanes.
In a great spot where you can enjoy the Brighton lifestyle to the full, this inviting beauty less than 200 yards from the promenade with a view of glittering, open water every time you turn into this well-kept Regency terrace, friendly local amenities out of hearing around the corner deliver fresh coffee and fresh produce, but also include a small Co-Op, a pharmacy and a post office.
On a beautiful, historic terrace with Regency bow fronted buildings and permit parking where you can buy visitor permits too, this inviting maisonette shares a ground floor communal hallway with only one other home. Through its front door, a hushed lobby has a private, carpeted staircase rising to the 2nd floor where the living dining room spans the full width of the building, so there is plenty of space to enjoy. Twin sash windows in the Sussex sunshine and almost reaching the ceiling which is high, and a corner cupboard keeps the room fuss free.
An inner lobby lined with storage also has a big utility room beneath the stairs, and leads to a bright, stylish kitchen. Well-planned, streamlined units are topped by practical working surfaces and everything flows from high spec fitted appliances which include a touch induction hob, combi-oven and a hood.
Central to the home, the contemporary bathroom has natural light, a Triton Enrich shower above the bath, a vanity unit beneath the hand basin and a fashionable designer finish.
Upstairs, the first of the double bedrooms is an ideal guest room with garden views, plenty of space even with a double bed in situ and alcoves for wardrobes. At the front, the principal bedroom is all about relaxing in an unusually peaceful setting within this historic quarter with the restful proportions only Regency homes can provide, enhanced by calm décor.
Agent says:
“This beautiful, listed terrace leading to the sea is popular with health workers, local professionals and those who work from home as it is quietly tucked away in a central location with easy access to the Royal Pavilion and arts venues as well as to our city’s main employers including the hospitals, legal quarter and Amex - whilst the friendly al fresco, lifestyle of the Village is around the corner.”
Owner’s secret:
“The Village is a great place to be. The beach, downland walks and tennis courts of Queen’s Park are on the doorstep, and it has independent shops, friendly cafes, bars and restaurants. The shops open early and shut late if you commute or work at the hospitals and the neighbours are considerate – there’s an inclusive mix of single people, couples and families. With local permit parking once home from work (and getting back here from the A23/A27 or coast road is very easy) you don’t have to be tied to a car as you can walk, bus or cab anywhere – and the Thomas Kemp, Barley Mow and St George’s Tavern amongst others do a fantastic Sunday roast and they all have gardens!”
