Charming Victorian Apartment in Prime Brighton Location

Tucked away in the heart of Montpelier Crescent, this beautifully modernised early Victorian apartment blends period elegance with contemporary comfort. Dating back to the 1840s, this stylish home is less than a mile from Brighton’s seafront and just moments from the lively Seven Dials community.

Positioned on the lower level of a grand stucco-fronted townhouse, the apartment enjoys a light and airy feel, enhanced by its neutral décor and well-proportioned living spaces. With nearly 1,200 sqft of accommodation, it offers both character and practicality in equal measure.

The home is accessed via a wrought-iron gate leading to a picturesque pathway, lined with greenery and offering privacy from the street. Unlike the other apartments in the building, which have a separate entrance, this property benefits from its own discreet access. A charming flower-bordered walkway leads to the front door via a short flight of steps.

Inside, an inviting entrance hall with original flagstone flooring creates a striking first impression. Off the hallway, a large store room and additional cupboard provide generous storage, with the potential to be repurposed as a study, gym, or additional living space (subject to the necessary consents).

The spacious sitting-dining room is rich in character, featuring the same exquisite flagstone flooring and a grand cast-iron fireplace, framed by alcoves with built-in shelving. Adjacent, the fully fitted kitchen is equally charming, boasting rustic red brick flooring and direct access to the rear patio. A substantial brick-built storage shed provides additional practicality.

The apartment offers two well-sized double bedrooms, each with built-in storage. The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom—currently used as a study—offers versatility to suit the owner’s needs. A spacious family bathroom, with striking red brick floors, completes the interior.

Set within the prestigious Montpelier Crescent, the property enjoys a peaceful setting behind manicured communal lawns. At basement level, the apartment has its own private entrance and a decked courtyard garden, perfect for outdoor seating and relaxation. An additional outdoor storage unit adds further convenience. Residents’ permit parking is available nearby.

Situated just off Seven Dials, this home is perfectly positioned for city living. Brighton’s mainline railway station is just half a mile away, offering fast and frequent services to London and Gatwick Airport. The vibrant North Laine and Lanes districts, renowned for their eclectic mix of boutiques, cafés, and restaurants, are within 0.7 miles, while the iconic Brighton seafront is a short 0.6-mile stroll.

For those commuting by car, Dyke Road provides easy access to the A27 and A23, while the South Downs offer scenic countryside walks just a short drive away. The area is well-served by excellent local schools, including Brighton Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College, Brighton Girls School, Cardinal Newman Catholic School, Lancing Prep School, Brunswick Primary School, and Windlesham School and Nursery.

This elegant and thoughtfully updated Victorian apartment offers an enviable blend of period charm, modern convenience, and a prime location. Ideal for those looking to experience the best of Brighton living, it presents a rare opportunity to own a unique home in one of the city’s most sought-after locations.
