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, the townhouses bear 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.

Positioned at the north-westerly edge of the square, this apartment sits in a house looking obliquely out to the sea across the gardens. Access is down a few stone steps to your door which opens to a vestibule for hanging coats and organising shoes, then through to the main reception ahead or to the bedroom sitting to the front of the building.

While it is clear the apartment needs complete renovation, it is a great size with well-proportioned rooms offering plenty of potential. The bedroom is double with a large, multi-pane window to bring in light from the south while ensuring the bedroom is private from the street.

Moving through to the living room, there is a generous amount of space for soft furnishings and for a dining table and chairs. The original Victorian stove remains in the hearth adding plenty of character to the space – although it is unknown if this is in working order.

A glazed door opens to the courtyard garden which would be a lovely summer extension to the home with some tlc and colourful plants and garden furnishings, as it is also accessible from the kitchen.

Galley style with plenty of units plus space and plumbing for several appliances, the kitchen is well-designed for the space but requires complete renovation.

At the far end of the flat, the bathroom is in fine working order, just a little dated, but has a bathtub onto which you can add a shower attachment. The flat has working gas central heating throughout.

This lower 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 universities, airports and London.
