Clifton Hill remains one of the most prestigious addresses in the city: Characterised by some stunning examples of Regency and Victorian architecture sitting elevated on the hill looking down to the sea. For somewhere so central, it is wonderfully peaceful, as it is nicely tucked away off the beaten track, between Seven Dials and Western Road.

This apartment holds the prime position on the first floor of a townhouse close to the top of the hill, so it has the highest ceilings in the building and enjoys almost full height bay sash windows on the westerly elevation. The current owner has renovated throughout, and while they have personalised their space with their choice of colour palette, the fixtures and fittings are of excellent quality and the overall aesthetic is stylish and attractive. New owners can put their own stamp the place with a simple lick of paint to the walls if need be.

Stepping inside, your eye is immediately drawn to the living room where light streams in through the bay. Sashes open to allow the cool coastal breeze into the flat during summer, where you can place window boxes of flowers on the secure lipped ledge. Walls of dove grey are paired with the original wood floors and cast iron column radiators warm the room during winter. There is ample space for formal dining, relaxed seating and working from home, if need be, as useful shelving is built-in to the alcoves around the chimney breast.

Adjoining the living room, the kitchen is beautifully appointed with cream gloss units alongside some integrated appliances, leaving space for others. Gold accents are paired with blush pink walls and solid oak worktops echo the floor.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom is an elegant double, once again with high ceilings, wood flooring and blush pink walls paired with brushed gold column radiators. The alcove is free for a wardrobe and a lovely, light streams in from the east via a tall sash window to gently wake you in the morning.

Nearby, the bathroom has a modern take on a period style with metro brick wall tiles around a traditional style bath suite with a rainfall shower above it.

This flat is perfectly 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 it also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
