knight & knoxley are pleased to present this superb two-bedroom apartment in Old College House. Beautifully presented and recently redecorated throughout, the property is set within a truly remarkable red-brick building, originally constructed in 1895 to house the college that later became known as Brighton College of Technology.

The building is impressive from the outside, but once inside, you are welcomed by the full grandeur of the entrance hall. With soaring ceilings, decorative wall and floor tiles, and a broad stone staircase, the space creates an unforgettable first impression.

Situated on the first floor, the front door of the apartment opens into a wide hallway with ample space for coats and shoes, along with a large storage/utility cupboard housing a high-capacity electric water heater. A video entry phone is also located here. Oak flooring runs throughout the hall and living spaces.

The spacious open-plan reception area incorporates kitchen, dining and lounge zones, all beneath ceilings that rise well over three metres. Three large windows provide leafy views over The Level park opposite and allow plenty of natural light into the room. The kitchen, fitted in 2023, features matte-grey cabinetry and high-spec appliances, including an AEG pyrolytic self-cleaning oven with steam function, a Neff induction hob, integrated dishwasher and washer/dryer, and space for a freezer. A reverse osmosis water filtration system is fitted under the sink, improving drinking water quality and preventing limescale.

The apartment enjoys an east-west orientation, with the reception room and principal bedroom facing west for afternoon sun, while the second bedroom benefits from bright morning light from the east.

The principal bedroom is a generous double, also enjoying views over the park. It has a built-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom with a white suite, large-format neutral tiles, thermostatic shower over the bath, and a recessed mirrored cabinet providing useful storage. Additional features include underfloor heating and an electric towel radiator. Both bedrooms have newly fitted carpets.

The second bedroom includes bespoke wardrobes with oak veneer interiors, offering a mix of hanging space, shelves and drawers. The wardrobe doors are painted in a Farrow & Ball deep blue and finished with solid brass handles.

Heating is provided by independently controlled electric radiators, each with its own thermostat and timer. They can also be operated via an app. The apartment is fitted with low-energy spotlights throughout.

Old College House benefits from an active right-to-manage (rtm) committee and has a concierge on site six days a week. Residents also have access to a secure bike store and a peaceful communal garden tucked away at the rear of the building.

Located on Richmond Terrace, directly opposite The Level with its playground and skate park, this central Brighton location is perfect for those who enjoy having the city on their doorstep. A wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions - including Brighton Pavilion, The Dome, Theatre Royal and Brighton Museum - are all within easy reach. Brighton Station is just a 15-minute walk away, and bus routes run nearby to destinations throughout the city.
