Built in 1890, this imposing yet beautiful apartment building encompass all the excitement and opulence of the period, and it is thought to be the first, luxury development in the city. Its Flemish Renaissance style was favoured by the famed architects, Clayton & Black, who felt the building required grandeur and elegance to reflect the social standing of the original inhabitants.
These apartments remain as exclusive today, with this apartment raised peacefully above the city on the third floor with a glorious easterly aspect bringing a beautiful light into each room during the morning. Entering the grand communal hallways from the second entrance on Holland Road, it is clear to see the exceptional design that went into these apartments. A sweeping staircase rises through the floors and the original lift remains for ease. The original features are stunning, feeling more akin to a stately home or hotel, creating a wonderful space to arrive home to each day.
The door to this apartment is clearly numbered, opening to a wide and welcoming entrance hall. The light and space within the flat are immediately apparent with a generous amount of glazing to each room where tall bay sash windows frame views over Holland Road Baptist Church then down to the sea. In rooms of this size, bold colours work well, shown here in the living room where emerald-green has been used on the walls to complement white ceilings and woodwork to stunning effect.
High ceilings and airy proportions create the perfect space for entertaining in the living room which has ample space for reconfiguration should you wish to create an open plan space, moving the kitchen to create a third bedroom, as many other residents have done. This also makes sense with the current layout as there is a utility room adjoining, so there is already a water supply at this end of the apartment.
A grand fireplace takes centre stage, fitted with a gas fire for instant warmth and atmosphere during the winter months. Bookshelves sit within the alcoves bringing form and function to the room, also picked out in white to echo the woodwork elsewhere.
Along the hall, the kitchen has been well-designed with white gloss cabinetry and dark laminate worktops below metro brick tile splashbacks. There is a vast amount of storage at both base and wall levels, alongside an integrated oven and induction hob, leaving space for a freestanding dishwasher and a tall fridge freezer. A pop of colour comes from zesty lime green on the upper walls the sink is inlaid below the window so you can enjoy the views as you wash up.
Both bedrooms share the same favoured aspect and views, and while the principal bedroom is larger, they both have deep built-in wardrobes which maximise the floor space. Both rooms are lovely doubles with soft carpet underfoot and ample space for king beds and freestanding furnishings. Both have easy access to the spacious and stylish bathroom which has been modernised using urban grey tiles around a gleaming white bath suite which has a rainfall shower above it.<br /><br />This generous first-floor 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 Hove Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the airports, universities and London.
