Flat for sale in Charlotte Street, Brighton BN2

* Guide Price £550,000 - £570,000 *

Spanning the upper floors of an elegant Victorian townhouse in Brighton’s fashionable Kemptown district, this exceptional four-bedroom flat feels more like a house than an apartment, giving you almost 1150 sq. Ft. To play with. It is incredibly peaceful being elevated above the city, and it is filled with natural light from east to west through wide bay and sash windows looking out over the historic cityscape. It has been redecorated throughout using a contemporary palette, alongside oak flooring and streamlined fixtures and fittings, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease.

You can see the sea at the end of the road from the main front door which opens to a neat communal hallway and stairs rising to your entrance on the second floor. Stepping inside, it is clear the space has been designed by those with a respect for period properties and an eye for interiors, creating a space which is both fun and homely. Originally a Victorian townhouse, the flat enjoys the high ceilings of the era and has retained its sash windows and architraves which add character to the space.

The eye is immediately drawn to the living room which spans the front of the house allowing ample space for relaxation and formal dining at a table within the bay, so you can see the sea as you eat. Tucked away behind a peninsular island, the streamlined kitchen is sociable but does not dominate the whole room and integrated appliances include a touch induction hob, electric oven and a hood to ensure the room remains fragrant. Space has then been left for a washing machine and a fridge, so you can move in with relative ease. A choice of lighting level brings atmosphere to the space depending on the mood, while white walls and blonde wood flooring serve to naturally brighten the room.

There are two beautifully appointed bedrooms on this floor with crisp white walls, spotlights and ample space for either freestanding or built-in wardrobes. The room to the rear is a smaller double holding a tranquil position looking out over the neighbouring courtyard gardens, making it ideal as a child’s room or as a home office for those wfh on a weekly or daily basis. Between the two sits a marble lined shower room, while bedrooms one and two sit on the top floor with en suites. These rooms are ultimately peaceful at the top of the house with the principal bedroom sharing the same proportions as the living room below it. The en suite bathroom is the epitome of modern luxury with a contemporary freestanding bath in white with a separate shower for when time is of the essence – perfect!
