Montpelier Road, Brighton BN1

Two Bedrooms | Central Brighton Location | Grade II Listed Building| Sought After Location | Period Features | Good Size South Facing Garden With Storage | Close to Local Amenities | Stylish Kitchen With Integrated Appliances

Montpelier Road, one of Brighton’s most sought-after addresses, features elegant early-19th century stucco fronted houses and lies within the Montpelier and Clifton Hill Conservation Area. A brief ten minute stroll leads to the beach, while an array of restaurants, cafés, bars and independent boutiques sits on your doorstep. Western Road’s large Waitrose is just around the corner, and Brighton station is under a fifteen minute walk.

This two bedroom garden apartment forms part of a GradeII listed building and benefits from an unusual and appealing layout, with the second bedroom on a separate level at the rear of the flat, providing it with a sense of privacy and separation from the rest of the home.

On the raised ground floor, the reception room would once have served as the grand drawing room when the property was a single dwelling. High ceilings feature cornicing and a picture rail, and an impressive fireplace takes centre stage with a cast iron surround and tiled inserts. A beautiful curved bay window, with panelling beneath and to either side, looks out onto the elegant Regency buildings on the east side of Montpelier Road.

The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has a lovely wide sash window, with original panelling beneath, and high ceilings with cornicing. Fitted wardrobes flank the chimney breast, and there is also a sink and towel radiator.

Moving down the hallway towards the back of the flat, you pass large storage cupboards before reaching the kitchen. Stylish matte grey units are finished with high quality worktops which have a marble effect and are inset with a white ceramic sink. Diamond shaped tiles, also in a soft matte grey, form the splashback. Integrated appliances include an induction hob with extractor above, an electric fan oven with grill, a fridge and a dishwasher. There is space for a freezer in one of the hallway cupboards, and the Worcester Greenstar 24i combination boiler is also housed in a wall cabinet. The kitchen benefits from electric underfloor heating and a window onto the side return.

Past the kitchen is a further lobby with a painted tread staircase rising to the first floor. Here, the stairs lead to a pretty landing with a window, off which is a double bedroom. This bedroom effectively occupies its own floor, offering a self contained feel ideal for a young adult or sharers.

Back on the ground floor, the bathroom has underfloor heating and a white suite, with a double glazed window. The bath is double ended with central taps and features a thermostatic shower with both waterfall and handheld fittings. There is also a back to wall WC with a concealed cistern and a rectangular basin set into a wall hung vanity unit.

Outside, the garden is unusually large for this central location - nearly seven metres long and six metres wide - and includes a mature tree, raised flowerbeds, a generous decking area and a water butt which will remain.

Designer radiators are installed throughout, and the central heating is controlled via a Hive controller.

What the owner says:
“I knew I wanted to buy this flat the second I stepped foot in it. It has such a beautiful bay window in the living room with loads of light and character. The upstairs room that has been perfect for my teenage son and we’ve been so lucky to have a big garden in such a central location. I have absolutely loved living here and being so close to the sea, which is within walking distance, and everything you need is just on your doorstep. I could live here until I was 90, but we are widening our family so need another bedroom. I hope it goes to someone who will love it as much as I have.”
