Flat for sale in Steine Street, Brighton BN2

A great opportunity to get on the property or investment ladder, this spacious 1 bed 1st floor flat is in a fabulous historic building tucked away on a 1 way lane from St James’s Street – on the Pride route – to the seafront. Priced to sell 3 mins walk from the Pier, famous arts venues and the historic Lanes which cluster around the Royal Pavilion, this private eyrie is in a prime spot with 48.05m2 (517.20 sq. Ft.) of bright, spacious rooms to enjoy and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London 7 minutes by cab, 10 by bus or 15 on foot.

With an elegant living dining room, stylish contemporary kitchen and practical bathroom (where you could ramp up the glamour over time), it’s a great opportunity to snap up a bargain within walking distance of So-Ho House, beach bars and cafés, wellness centre and Lido. A bohemian quarter with an al fresco lifestyle, it’s particularly popular with health, flight and artistic professionals as the theatres of Brighton and Opera house at Glyndbourne are easy to reach, the hospital is a 10-15 minute stroll, there’s a coach to the airport from the Old Steine and the Gatwick Express from the station also stops at Victoria for the West End.

Chic and central, now is the time to buy this fabulous apartment in an exclusive location high above a one way street quietly tucked away from the one way system of Valley Gardens and Old Steine. A beautiful historic building with architectural detail in a street where building began in 1776, it has a grand entrance and inside new life breathes through this sensitively converted building which retains the character of the property but also keeping 21st century comfort, privacy and security in mind.

Inside this apartment, you leave any stresses of the day behind in a hushed hallway with an unusually large cupboard – and it’s worth noting that storage is available in every room. Ahead, the light and airy living dining room has a practical 5.0m x 4.8m (16’4 x 15’8) which provides plenty of opportunity to create areas for rest, work or play. With beautiful proportions, this restful retreat has a large bay looking down St James’s Street to the fountains and war memorial of the Old Steine, and there is an ornamental fireplace in classic style to enjoy.

Ideal for entertaining, the kitchen area is sociable but tucked away in its own space, it does not dominate the living area. Skilfully planned with generous, custom coloured storage and practical, solid wood working surfaces, everything flows from the electric touch hob and oven beneath a hood.

Central to the apartment, the modern bathroom is a private refuge with a shower above the bath and a cabinet beneath the hand basin. Next door, high above the one way lane, the double bedroom is a classic with a wood floor and high ceiling, and it has a comfortable 3.81 x 3.08m (12’6 x 10’1) to relax in.
