Kemptown is a sought after location with fresh local produce, cafés, bistro bars and independent shops as well as supermarkets and pharmacies. Hosting some of the city’s largest employers, this coastal property is within a 10 minute walk of Amex and its new pedestrian plaza as well as the County Hospital. The local park will take you onto the Downs and the seafront is bordered by beaches with volleyball courts, a yoga centre, beach bars, art galleries and a Lido to enjoy.
On an historic, one way lane between the cafes and restaurants of Upper James’s Street and the sea, this beautiful bay fronted building has an impressive frontage and its grand entrance is secured by answer phone entry. Inside, the communal hall has beautiful original plasterwork high above your head and the integrity of the building has been kept with only one apartment on each storey.
Inside, ceilings soar and sunlight streams through the living dining room through the floor to ceiling bay which sweeps open to the sociable balcony with picture perfect views over the historic terrace to the sea. There’s a flame effect fire in the fireplace and with generous floorspace of 5.65 x 5.47m (18’6 x 17’11) there’s ample room to entertain in style. Tucked into its own space, the kitchen is light and airy with its own window to frame the obliquely sparkling sea. Although sociable it does not dominate the whole space and it has a practical layout, plenty of working surfaces and the vendor is happy to discuss the freestanding appliances.
Central to the apartment the luxury bathroom has a stylish finish. Private and peaceful at the back, the double bedroom is a relaxing refuge with 3.99 x 3.43m (13’1 x 11’3) to unwind in. With handsome proportions, there’s a period fireplace to enjoy and a whole wall available for wardrobes.
Vendor’s Comments:
“You can enjoy a beach lifestyle to the full from this fashionable location which is quieter than its central position may suggest. Ideal as a home, if you are looking for an investment the apartment currently provides a great annual income which is set to increase with details available upon request. There is also an opportunity to buy all 5 apartments of the building.”
