Why you’ll like it:
Strongly influenced by the Georgian architecture in London at the time, Regency Square was by far the most opulent of the seafront enclosures during its creation in 1818. Grade II listed, they have all the characteristics of Wild’s style of construction, and one can’t help thinking how exciting it must have been to see the seafront expand on such a regal scale.

The West Pier was built axially to the square, intentionally and for the enjoyment of the residents. While its ghost remains, Brighton’s newest landmark: The i360, can be viewed from here, although it does not obstruct or dominate the view.

Positioned the eastern arm of the square, this apartment bathes in light from the west, looking out over green garden lawns to the sea. As a first-floor apartment, it enjoys the highest ceilings in the building and sole access to the canopied balcony to the front of the building which allows for some private outdoor space to sit and watch the world go by along the prom.

Stepping into the apartment, a deep cupboard awaits coats and shoes, then a corridor stretches ahead to where the beautiful living room sits to the right, spanning the front of the building, following its natural curve with a bay window rising from floor to ceiling almost covering the westerly elevation. It is clearly a beautifully maintained space with buttermilk walls and soft grey carpet underfoot to suit all styles of furnishing. Tall windows frame verdant garden views, opening to the balcony while allowing a cool coastal breeze to flow through. There is ample space in here for sumptuous furnishings and for a formal dining table and chairs, so you can entertain in style.

Moving through the apartment, the bedroom is an elegant double room sharing the same immaculate decoration as the living room, but it is peacefully positioned to the rear of the building where the easterly morning light filters in through a wide picture window to gently wake you in summer. Even with a king bed and freestanding furnishings, the floor space is not compromised.

Conveniently opposite, the bathroom is fresh in white with stylish oversized brick wall tiles and a shower over a gleaming white bath suite.

Offering plenty of space and storage for an apartment, the kitchen is ideal for the keen cook. It has ample cabinetry space alongside an integrated oven, gas hob and fridge freezer, leaving space and plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher. Should you wish to renovate and add value, a second bedroom could be created in here with the relocation of the kitchen to the living room – all food for thought.

This generous first floor flat is 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 this home also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
