From the front door, you can catch a glimpse of the sea at the end of the road, leading into the shared hallways and up the stairs to your floor. Once inside, it’s evident that the space has been thoughtfully designed by those who appreciate period homes and have a keen eye for interior style. The flat, part of a former Victorian townhouse, benefits from the high ceilings typical of the era, along with original features such as sash windows, architraves, and sections of wall paneling beneath the bay windows. The result is a space that feels both charming and welcoming.
The living room provides plenty of space for both formal dining and a relaxed seating area, with the kitchen conveniently located just off it. The kitchen itself is sleek, featuring handle-free cabinetry and an integrated oven and hob, with room for additional appliances and ample counter space for those who love to cook.
Both bedrooms are tastefully designed, with the second bedroom offering enough room for a small double bed or functioning well as a spacious home office, complete with oblique sea views. The principal bedroom is larger, with a serene window seat nestled in the bay, perfect for reading or watching the world go by. Behind the bed, a modern dado rail mural showcasing the city’s iconic coastline adds a stylish touch.
Both bedrooms enjoy convenient access to the bathroom, which is beautifully lined with warm slate tiles and accented with wooden features, creating a cozy yet modern feel. The bathroom is fitted with a gleaming white bath suite, complete with an overhead shower, making it a practical and stylish space.
Vendor’s Comments:
“Kemptown boasts a lively atmosphere and a strong sense of community, all within close proximity to the heart of the city. Being just steps away from the beach, the need for private outdoor space is easily forgotten, and the apartment itself provides excellent space for entertaining. Its central location means you're never far from the vibrant city life, making it an ideal spot for those who want the best of both worlds.”

Brighton is a popular coastal city known for its history, the Royal Pavilion, beaches, Pier, and Marina. It has a vibrant arts scene with various festivals, as well as a laid-back café culture, offering plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars to explore along the seafront, in the Georgian Lanes, or the central shopping areas. This period property is well-located with the beach right across the road and just a short walk to Kemp Town Village, which has the hospital and good schools, including Brighton College. The law courts, Amex, and Marina, which offers a health club, cinema, restaurants, and a supermarket, are all nearby. Queen’s Park, the Downs, and a 72-par golf course are also within a ten to fifteen-minute walk. The property is well-served by bus routes to the city center, coast, and Brighton Station, which has quick links to Gatwick and London. For those commuting by car, the A23 and A27 are easily accessible, and parking permits in zone C have no waiting list.
