Why you’ll like it:
Beautiful Brunswick Square continues to impress as one of the most attractive Regency cityscapes in the country. These stunning terraces are Grade I Listed and are integral to Brighton & Hove’s unique identity as a cosmopolitan city of style and taste. Built in 1826 by eminent architect Charles Busby, they are almost 200 years old, and while many of the houses have now been converted into apartments, they continue to attract many to the area with Brunswick Town heralded as one of the most prestigious conservation areas in the city.

Facing east on the westerly wing of the square, this apartment receives plenty of natural light and is approached through a grand entrance flanked by Ionic pilasters. From the moment you enter the communal stairways, the true scale and beauty of the building becomes apparent, as traditional tiles and period features wend their way up to the second floor where your door is numbered.

This opens to a spacious entrance hall where the ceilings soar, and a deep burgundy palette adorns the walls. It is immediately clear this property has been renovated by those with a refined eye for colour, style and interior design, but also a respect for period features, ensuring the original character of the building remains.

Immediately impressive, the eye is drawn first to the main reception room which is filled with natural light as three full height sash windows frame exquisite views over the communal gardens to the ever-changing sea and skyscapes beyond. The original shutters have been retained and brought back to their original beauty along with the ornate cornicing, ceiling rose, deep skirting boards and picture rails. Wood floors are sanded and varnished below your feet and the period marble fireplace adds character to the room.

There is ample space for relaxation, entertaining and dining in here while the exceptional kitchen is open plan with marble work surfaces and splashbacks to echo the stone of the fireplace. Shaker cabinetry in dark navy complements the stone perfectly, providing a wealth of storage while creating a breakfast bar to seat four below pendent lighting. With the units, fine quality appliances are integrated, to include a wine fridge and an espresso machine, so you can enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises over the square. During summer, the windows open completely to the balcony where there is space to sit out and watch the world go by along the prom, with the sea beckoning you down for swims and sunset drinks at the many bars and restaurants lining the seafront.

Moving through the apartment, you pass the main bathroom, lined in marble with more bespoke cabinetry in navy for toiletries and towels. The fittings for the bath and basin bring warmth and shine in brushed gold, while LED mirrors give you a rosy glow.

Peaceful at the rear of the building, the king bedroom is a stunning space in heritage grey to highlight built-in wardrobes within the alcoves. An oversized sash window bears the original leaded patterning, which facing west, brings a glorious light into the room during the afternoon and early evening. Soft carpet is underfoot for added comfort when you wake and there is a second en suite shower room for easy access during the night and getting ready in a flash before work in the morning. As with the rest of the flat, it is stylish and streamlined with stone walls and matt black frames to the shower door. There is additional secure storage space on the landing.

Agent’s thoughts:
Holing a prime position on the square with sea and garden views, and such a beautiful interior – we do not expect this property to hang around for long.

Owner’s secret:
It is an amazing space for entertaining or simply relaxing in the evening, and we cannot fault the location. Brunswick Town, and particularly the square, offers its residents the chance to live in a vibrant and welcoming community surrounded by beautiful architecture and with the city and all its delights to discover on foot. You are also right in the middle of both Brighton and Hove’s social centres, and next to the beach - you couldn’t find a better location to live in this city!”
