Why you’ll like it:
Characterised by grand Regency townhouses on tree lined avenues leading down to the sea from Seven Dials, the Clifton Hill & Montpelier Conservation Area is a hugely attractive part of the city. This apartment sits within a particularly handsome house, standing six storeys tall with a brink and white render façade adorned with glossy black railings. It is formed from the upper two floors of the building, so there is a short climb to get there, yet once inside, the peace of the flat and the views are well worth it.

The front door opens on the second floor to an internal staircase which adds to the feeling of space within the flat and has room to hang coats at the bottom. Stepping up, it is clearly a well-presented space with plenty of storage to ensure the flat remains clutter free. The open plan living room and kitchen is first on the right, enjoying a westerly aspect bringing warm light into the space during the afternoon. There are clearly defined areas for formal dining, relaxation and working from home, if need be, while the kitchen runs along the rear wall. Streamlined and modern, it doesn’t dominate the room, having been well designed with integrated appliances.

Bedroom two on this floor is currently dressed as a child’s room with bunk beds, yet it has plenty of space for a double bed as two built-in wardrobes maximise the floor space. From here, you gain the first of the stunning views across the historic landscape to the rear of the building, where a ribbon of sea becomes visible between the church spiers and chimney stacks. Nearby, the main bathroom is well appointed with large scale wall tiles in urban-grey and a shower over the bath.

Upstairs, elevated on the top floor, the principal bedroom has a dormer window to the west and a Velux to the east where the views only improve. This room is particularly spacious and benefits from deep eaves storage, built-in wardrobes and sole access to a chic en suite shower room in the same style as the bathroom below.

This attractive duplex flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to both Brighton and Hove Stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
