A rare opportunity to own a home of genuine scale and architectural significance in one of Hove’s most prestigious seafront addresses. Occupying the entire raised ground floor of an imposing Grade I listed Regency townhouse, this exceptional two-bedroom apartment extends to approximately 862 sq ft and combines beautifully preserved period grandeur with a stylish contemporary finish.
The centrepiece of the apartment is the magnificent 21-foot living and dining room. Two tall sash windows frame a leafy outlook across Brunswick Square, flooding the room with natural light, while working shutters, intricate cornicing, a decorative ceiling rose and a handsome period fireplace celebrate the building’s remarkable heritage. Stripped wooden flooring and generous proportions provide ample room for substantial seating and a full dining table, creating a wonderfully sociable space for both everyday living and entertaining.
Opening naturally from the living area, the beautifully appointed kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of Shaker-style cabinetry, integrated double ovens, an induction hob and a breakfast-bar peninsula. Pale work surfaces, metro tiling, statement pendant lighting and patterned flooring give the room a smart, contemporary character while remaining sympathetic to the apartment’s period setting.
The principal bedroom is an impressively spacious double, measuring approximately 16'5" x 11'10", with several windows bringing in excellent natural light. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned room, enhanced by a tall sash window, original shutters, a traditional radiator and useful built-in storage. It would work equally well as a guest bedroom, home office or separate sitting room.
The bathroom is finished with crisp white metro tiling and includes a full-sized bath with shower above, glass screen, traditional-style sanitaryware and a heated towel rail. A deep blue ceiling and exposed architectural detailing add a distinctive and characterful finish.
A welcoming entrance hall and useful storage cupboards complete the accommodation, with the apartment’s ownership of the entire raised ground floor giving it an unusually private and substantial feel.
Brunswick Square is one of Brighton and Hove’s most celebrated Regency addresses, positioned immediately beside the seafront and Hove Lawns. The independent shops, cafés, restaurants and bars of Western Road, Church Road and Brunswick Town are all within easy walking distance, while excellent transport links provide convenient access across the city and towards both Brighton and Hove railway stations.
This is a truly special home: grand yet comfortable, rich in original detail and occupying one of the finest positions on the Brighton and Hove coastline.
