Why You’ll Like It:
Grade I listed to preserve its unique beauty, Brunswick Square is one of the UK’s most famous Regency developments and one of only a few in the city which enjoy central gardens, now public, that lead to the sea.
Sympathetic improvements to this grand building include a discreet entrance system, and inside this classic beauty is a private and peaceful retreat. Instantly inviting with elegant proportions and two tall windows to frame the gardens and glimpses of the sea, the reception dining room has a soaring ceiling with its original frieze, and the windows have retained their wooden shutters to give peace of mind if you’re away. There is 24’3 x 17’1 (7.39m x 5.21m) of floorspace in which to relax or enjoy with friends and a room for all seasons, we are told that the Regency style fireplace may be open.
Central to the apartment, an inner lobby has a w.c. with natural light on one side and an airy bathroom on the other. Ingenious use of space has steps up to a sunken bath so there is height for a shower at one end, and there is a vanity unit below the hand basin.
Along the hall on the same level, there’s an easy flow from the reception to the separate kitchen which is well planned for entertaining with a practical layout and plenty of wipeable working surfaces. Integrated appliances include a gas hob and electric grill and oven beneath a hood, there is plumbing for a machine and space for a fridge beneath stairs which lead to a 5 sq. ft. (0.5m2) mezzanine level.
Up on the first floor, the guest bedroom has a beautiful engraved triple panel window to bring in the sunlight whilst ensuring privacy. There is 12’1 x 8’9 underfoot and fitted storage is in place already. Back on the ground floor, quiet and comfortable with a door to the reception as well as the hallway to keep options open, the principal bedroom offers 14’4 x 11’4 (4.37m x 3.45m) of relaxing space in which to unwind with fitted storage, and a magnificent hand painted window with its original shutters and panelling almost fills the far wall.
Agent says:
“Ground floor apartments in this prime Regency garden square do not appear on the market often and between the sea and Western Road, (a location hard to beat,) you are surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants – which are out of hearing.”
Owner’s secret:
“The sea and Hove Lawns are a stroll through the gardens and there is always something sociable happening from yoga or dog walking to foodie festivals! Grade I listed Brunswick Town is a special setting, one of the first parts of the fashionable Regency resort to be built. There’s a great balance between being sociable outside in the gardens or Hove Lawns, but also being able to entertain privately inside as there is plenty of space. Light and airy, it is quieter than you might think, and the building is very well run.”

Shops: Western Road 1 minute walk
Train Station: Brighton 7-9 mins by cab, 15 by bus, 20-23 mins walk, Hove 7 mins by cab, 15 by bus or a 25 min walk past shops and bars

Tucked up and away from the coast road it is quiet although this sought- after location is within minutes of fashionable shopping, restaurants, clubs, cinemas and theatres, and the school catchment area is good, with primary schools within walking distance. Close to the commercial districts and cultural heart of the city, the whole of Brighton and Hove is easy to reach on foot, by bus or by car and both Brighton and Hove Stations with fast links to Gatwick and London are easy to get to.
