Built and completed in the 1850s to echo the Nash developments in London, these Regal homes were putting Brighton firmly on the map as one of the most desirable places to live outside the capital. Almost two centuries later, they continue to attract people to the city, now containing generous apartments surrounding beautifully manicured gardens close to the sea and promenade.

This apartment sits to the rear of a Grade II listed house on the westerly curve of the crescent. Its lower ground position gives it a separate entrance shared by just one other, adding to the feeling of privacy. Gleaming black ironwork railings form a balustrade down stone steps to the front patio area and the communal glazed lobby. From here, a long, well-lit and nicely maintained corridor stretches back to the entrance to this apartment.

Stepping inside, the scale of the flat becomes apparent as another long corridor runs back through the apartment. The first bathroom is to the left with a tall, pale stone tiled shower cubicle alongside white sanitaryware and a tall, heated rail for towels. Bedroom two sits next door, so it feels ensuite, and being tucked away from the rest of the flat, could also be ideal for guests.

Sitting centrally to the flat, the living room is incredibly spacious with two sets of French doors leading out to a courtyard garden to one side where you can take drinks and supper outside for dining alfresco in warmer weather. A second patio area receives some sunshine and also provides access to the utility room which is nicely separate so as not to disturb you when relaxing in the evening.

As an open plan room, there is ample room for comfortable furnishings, formal dining and entertaining friends, while the kitchen is well equipped with plenty of storage in stylish Shaker cabinetry paired with marble worktops. Space has been left in the original hearth for a range cooker, alongside an American fridge freezer, both of which may be available by separate negotiation.

Bedroom three and the principal bedroom suite sit off the living areas with bedroom three being a fine size as a tranquil home office for those looking to work from home. The principal suite is of generous proportions, benefitting from another set of French doors to the patio, a wall of built-in wardrobes and access to a marble tiled ensuite bathroom with both a bathtub and a separate shower.<br /><br />This attractive flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to both Hove and Brighton Stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
