2 bed flat for sale

Kingscote Way, Brighton, East Sussex BN1

Enjoy elevated city living in this stylish two bedroom apartment, featuring a private balcony with glimpses of the sea and access to a large communal roof garden ideal for entertaining. Set on the top floor in the pedestrian heart of the award winning New England Quarter, the apartment is impressively quiet and benefits from open, far reaching views.

Just three minutes from Brighton Station and moments from the cafés, shops and culture of North Laine, the bright east to west facing open plan living space follows the sun throughout the day. Two generous double bedrooms, one with an en suite, and a central bathroom complete this eco conscious home, perfect for investors, sharers or city living.

Set within one of the premier blocks of the development, with a pedestrian walkway to the front and a landscaped courtyard to the rear, this top (second) floor apartment enjoys a peaceful, sunny position and an exceptional sense of privacy. One of only two apartments sharing a wide access walkway, it feels both secure and discreet. Inside, the entrance hallway provides two generous storage cupboards and immediately introduces the high ceilings that come with this exclusive top-floor position, a feature that continues throughout the spacious home.

Flooded with natural light, the sun-filled living room offers elegant open-plan living. Large windows span almost the full east-facing wall, framing far-reaching views across the communal roof garden to the striking façade of The Ark (Wagner’s 1874 church), and onward to the Hanover hills. There is ample space for relaxing, dining or working, while a door in the far wall opens onto a west-facing balcony with room for a table and chairs. From here, views extend across the city skyline to an open horizon with a shimmer of sea beyond.

Tucked neatly behind a sociable peninsula island, the streamlined kitchen is both practical and stylish. Designed with entertaining in mind, it features a Bosch induction hob and oven with integrated extractor, along with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, all thoughtfully arranged to keep the cooking area separate yet connected to the living space.

Centrally positioned, the luxury bathroom is bright and contemporary, with a bath and overhead shower, sleek vanity storage and a clean, modern finish. Nearby, the first double bedroom is calm and understated, offering excellent floor space, fitted wardrobes and a quiet outlook over the pedestrian walkway with no passing traffic. The principal bedroom is equally peaceful, finished in soothing tones and providing generous space, extensive built-in storage and a stylish en-suite shower room.

Outside, the communal roof terrace is a real highlight. Spacious, beautifully designed and bathed in sunlight throughout the day, it offers a variety of seating areas, more sheltered spots and ample space for both intimate suppers and larger social gatherings, all set against impressive open views across the city.
Agent says:

“One of the first of its kind in our innovative, coastal city this exciting development re imagines the way we live, offering an eco- sensitive, traffic free environment in a fabulous location.”

Owner’s secret:

“We needed to be close to the station and fell in love with the peaceful environment – it is super quiet with no traffic at the front or the back, and we do feel a little continental when we sit with a glass in hand and people watch over the main square. Our neighbours are friendly and we often join them on the roof terrace which has amazing views. The square is sociable, as lots of locals sit there for lunch who always say hello and it is very useful to have Sainsbury’s on the doorstep which opens early and closes late if you work at the hospitals or commute.”

What’s around you:

Shops: Sainsbury’s 1 minute, North Laine/Queen’s Road/London Road 3 to walk

For those who love the outdoors, the South Downs National Park as well as the waterfront restaurants and yacht club of the Marina are easy to reach by bus or cab – and don’t forget our famous horse race days!
