1 bed flat for sale

Chesham Place, Brighton, East Sussex BN2

Grade II listed charm, a chic, refurbished interior and oblique views of the sea at the end of this Regency terrace are a winning combination for this spacious one bedroom apartment. Offering a sophisticated open plan lifestyle with a stylish, brand new kitchen and on trend bathroom, at the back the freshly decorated double bedroom is spacious and quiet. In one of the most sought after areas of the city, Kemptown has a vibrant, al fresco café culture and hosts the County Hospital as well as other major employers like Amex. Beach bars, beachball courts and the waterfront restaurants of the Marina are easy to reach via the seasonal Dolphin lift, a scenic 15 minute stroll along the seafront takes you to the picturesque Georgian Lanes and cultural heart of the city, and the station serving the airports and London are easy to reach on foot, by bus or by cab.

Brighton is famous for its stately Regency terraces which step down to the sea, and this apartment is in an historic quarter of the city favoured by celebrities with a laid back atmosphere, ample permit parking and plenty of local amenities to explore including a weekly farmer’s market. Towards the middle of the terrace and on the second floor, it is sheltered from and high above traffic and with an entry system securing the imposing entrance first impressions are good. Inside, the communal hallway is clean and tidy and the integrity of the building has been preserved as the original staircase sweeps up to the second floor and the front door to this apartment.

Spreading its wings from east to west to bring in the Sussex sunshine, a central hallway is bright and cheerful with reassuringly thick carpet and underlay. Ahead, the spacious reception is a skilled blend of Regency proportion with stylish contemporary design. Three big windows line the curve of the east wall to bring in views along the neo- classical terrace opposite to the sea and have newly installed radiators in a style which is in keeping with the age of the building. There is a handsome, marble fireplace to enjoy with friends and family and stepped up from the rest of the room and set behind a companiable breakfast bar which will comfortably seat 4, the working area of kitchen is sociable but doesn’t dominate the whole room. A timeless beauty, coloured shaker units conceal organised storage and are topped by attractive but practical surfaces which match the splashbacks. Skilfully designed, there is a designated space with plumbing for a washing machine and brand new integrated appliances include a gas hob and electric oven beneath a hood, and a dishwasher. A thoughtful touch has more shaker style cabinets in the living/dining area, providing extra storage and also a spot where the power for a tall fridge freezer can be fed through so unseen.

Quiet at the back with views over a sea of green so you won’t feel hemmed in, the comfortable double bedroom has plenty of space to play with, the thick carpet in the hallway continuing in here. Next door and central to the apartment, the luxury shower room has a Georgian influence but is right on trend with a large, walk in shower with a dual head, warming rail for towels and traditional cabinet beneath the ceramic hand basin.
