With generous proportions , a big window and custom made wardrobes. Just around the corner, the luxury bathroom is a dream come true, large enough for a stately bath with a traditional shower attachment as well as a dual head shower above it - and there is also natural light in here.
With the generous proportions only Regency properties can deliver and triple windows almost filling the gracious sweep of the south wall, the principal bedroom is a restful refuge, beautifully decorated with bespoke, mirrored wardrobes delivering organised storage and an en-suite shower room which has a soothing, designer finish that you won’t want to change.
Vendor’s Comments:
“This is a beautiful terrace to live in, unusually quiet with friendly neighbours – and the sea is just opposite where the beaches have a lot to offer with water sports, an open air pool, saunas and café bars to choose from. The village shops at the end of the lane open early and close late, useful if you’re a health professional or flying in from Gatwick. The Village has everything you need, from great restaurants to a bookstore, bakery, chemist, Co-Op and St George’s Church which hosts events. You can walk to the arts venues of the famous Lanes or to the casino, health club, cinemas or waterfront restaurants of the Marina – or take a cab or bus. East Brighton Park has sports facilities too and leads to fantastic countryside walks (with a café for breakfast), and Queen’s Park has tennis courts and is popular with parents at the college and local primary schools. Zone H has no waiting list and you can buy permits for visitors.”
