Corinthian columns adorn this statuesque, end of terrace house hidden away on a no through road in such a fantastic location that there is an international hotel at the seafront end. Chic, spacious and secure, the grand entrance has an entry system and inside, the communal hallway is inviting with designer carpet on the broad Regency staircase which sweeps up past a bay with original coloured glass to this apartment on the first floor.
Combining classic elegance with a sophisticated, contemporary lifestyle the spacious living dining room has twin floor to ceiling windows in the east wall to bring in the sunshine and the sunny, east balcony with its glamorous, uninterrupted view which sweeps obliquely to the sea. Inside, precious period features have been carefully retained with discreet ambient lighting to highlight the original plaster frieze which still wends around the ceiling high above your head. Handsome wood flooring ensures an easy in/out flow and a room to enjoy come rain or shine, a stately fireplace houses a rare wood burning stove. With 4.5 x 4.33m (14’9 x 14’2) to embrace company, there are blinds at the windows which will stay and custom made, sliding wood shutters to give peace of mind whilst you’re away.
For an easy social flow there is a door to the stylish, high spec kitchen. Streamlined units deliver ample storage and gleaming granite working surfaces are lit from above and below. With natural light it is always inviting and high quality appliances include a reflective gas hob and electric oven beneath a discreet hood.
The expert attention to detail continues in the spa like bathroom which is large enough for both a freestanding tub with a shower attachment and a separate, walk in shower, and touches of luxury include lit recessed shelving, lit mirrors and warming rails for towels.
Quiet at the back of the building – and not directly overlooked, at 2.86 x 1.92m (9’4 x 6’3) the first of the bedrooms is a generous single, and with built in shelving it is ideal for visitors or as a comfortable space in which to work from home.
Opening to the iconic balcony with glittering oblique views to the sea, Regency romance springs to life in a beautifully proportioned principal bedroom which enjoys the morning sunshine. A restful refuge of 3.29 x 3.25m (10’9 x 10’7) to relax in, a wall of handmade wardrobes deliver all the organised storage you could dream of without disturbing the delicate, historic frieze above, and with flawless decoration it is ready to move into.
