Why you’ll like it:

Effortlessly elegant, the Regency townhouses of Brunswick Town have become integral to Brighton and Hove’s unique identity as a cosmopolitan city of style and taste. They were the ‘brain-child’ of eminent architect, Charles Busby, as he hoped to replicate the distinguished Nash developments in London. Although most of the houses have now been converted into chic apartments such as this one, they continue to attract people here from far and wide, almost 200 years later.

Residing half way up the eastern terrace, this apartment is approached up traditionally tiled steps and through a well-maintained communal hallway where your door is clearly numbered ahead on the ground floor.

Opening to a generous hallway stretching back through the flat, there is ample room for hanging coats, organising shoes and keeping household items in both the entrance space and within two built-in storage cupboards, to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

Freshly painted walls and new carpets greet you in the entrance hall which has the principal rooms at the far end enjoying sunny garden views. First to the left is the bathroom which has a fully bath suite with a shower over it and sandy wall tiles as a classic bathroom scheme to suit all styles of accessorising. The bath taps are wall mounted and there is a mirrored cabinet for toiletries and a radiator to warm you and your towels.
Next door, the kitchen is equally smart and neutral with pale wood cabinetry and integrated appliances to include a fan oven, induction hob and an under counter fridge, leaving space for a washing machine. There is even a sweet breakfast bar to seat one.

Carpet makes way for wood effect laminate flooring in the living room at the far end. Alongside the bedroom, these rooms form part of the rear extension so there are no neighbours above or to either side ensuring it is incredibly peaceful – a real bonus for apartment living!
Within the living room, there is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs plus a sofa for relaxing, then in summer, your entertaining space triples as you can spill outside to the delightful walled garden. Easy to maintain, the space is paved with several areas for alfresco dining, yet there are also raised beds for those with greener fingers. A small bay tree is waiting to mature, alongside a gracious olive tree, and there are mature trees on the border providing some dappled shade and screening from neighbouring homes. Open to the south, it is a real suntrap during the summer, but it forms a lovely backdrop to the apartment at all times of year.
Sharing the same sunny aspect and decoration as the living room, the bedroom is a sweet double room with peaceful garden views and double glazing to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Agent’s thoughts:
This is a fantastic apartment which will be ideal as a first step on the ladder or a sound investment for landlords.
