Agent says:

“Apartments in this position are rare to find – the combination of a grand Regency building, soaring ceilings and uninterrupted sea views makes this home truly special. The clever design blends period charm with contemporary style, and the corner setting means the rooms are bathed in natural light. It’s a peaceful retreat right on the seafront, yet only a short stroll from Brighton’s vibrant cafés, shops and cultural heart.”

Owner’s secret:

“What we’ve loved most about living here is the incredible light and the ever-changing sea views. Being on the corner of the terrace means the windows frame the coastline from sunrise over the Marina to the wide-open water straight ahead. It’s wonderfully peaceful inside, yet the beach, cafés and the buzz of Brighton are just a short stroll away.”
