Why you’ll like it:
Tree lined and flanked by elegant townhouses, Cambridge Road rises north from Western Road and Brunswick. Built during the 19th Century, these substantial homes were intended as one dwelling but have since been converted into spacious apartments such as this one. Brunswick Town has long been heralded as one of the most sought-after locations in the city, and it is easy to see why. Striking period architecture, the seaside location, excellent commuter links and a vibrant café culture all add to its appeal, and this property sits in its midst.
From the grand entrance, a neat and recently redecorated communal hallway and stairwell rise up through the building to your door. This in turn opens to an internal stairwell which adds to the sense of space within, while also creating space for clever built-in storage on the upper landing. Long shelves have also been added for books and ornaments, taking full advantage of the double height wall area.
Stepping into the main body of the flat, it has clearly been well-maintained using a smart and neutral palette and contemporary fittings. The living room is a lovely size with ample space for relaxation and formal dining which can spill out to the roof terrace. This is an original extension to the roof with ornate stone balustrades, offering plenty of space to sit and dine alfresco. While it is east facing, it is open to the south, so it receives plenty of sunshine throughout the day. You can see for miles around, taking in the sea and the coastline with some of the city’s tallest structures: The i360 and Sussex Heights, rising up into the expanse of sky.
Across the landing, the kitchen is another generous room with plenty of storage in white gloss cabinetry topped with black quartz-stone for a hardwearing yet stylish finish. Within these, the oven, induction hob, fridge and washing machine have been integrated for you, so you can move straight in with relative ease.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom is a large double room, where even with a king size bed and freestanding furnishings, the floor space is not compromised. From the dormer window there are further sea views taking your line of sight towards Worthing and the hills of the South Downs National Park. With a westerly aspect, the sunsets are incredible, as are the evenings when the city lights up below you.
Nearby, the shower room is lined in slate, bringing both form and function to the space. The dark, dramatic tiles are off-set by turquoise mosaic within the spacious shower cubicle. White sanitaryware also pops out against the dark grey, to include the hand basin with a vanity unit below it.
Agent’s thoughts:
Beautifully bright and deceptively spacious, this apartment is incredibly well-presented, and it is utterly peaceful for somewhere so central. The roof terrace is a fantastic bonus as the views are exquisite, so we don’t expect this property to stay on the market for long.
Owner’s secret
“To have some outside space in this incredible location was what sold me the property in the first place. The views are fantastic as you can see both the sea and the South Downs, and Brunswick Town is a fabulous community to live amongst. You are also right in the middle of both Brighton and Hove’s social centres, and a few minutes from the beach, so you couldn’t find a better location to live in this city!”
