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 the east/west orientation with high ceilings and big windows makes the apartment inviting. Sunlight streams through the living dining room where the large, west bay has space for a table where you can admire the oblique view of the sea glittering at the end of the terrace, and there’s also a feature fireplace to enjoy.
At the centre of the home, the kitchen breakfast room is bright and cheerful with plenty of stylish storage and practical working surfaces. Good to go, integrated appliances include an electric hob and oven beneath a hood, and the vendor is willing to discuss freestanding white goods to help you get started.
At the far end of the room, double doors lead to an inner lobby with a door to the modern bathroom which has a shower above the bath, and next to it the first of the double bedrooms is light and spacious, and it’s ready to move into with fitted wardrobes to fill. At the back of the main building, the second bedroom is a classic beauty with refined proportions. Private and peaceful, and is also ready to move into with built in closets.
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.”
