Why You’ll Like It:
Between our famous seafront and independent shops, cafés and bars out of hearing, this beautiful home is within an historic terrace where the imposing entrance is secure and inside the communal hallway impresses with only one apartment on each floor to keep the integrity of the original building.

Full of sunshine, with a floor to ceiling bay opening to the sociable balcony with views over the historic terrace to the sea, and a large window to almost fill the west wall, the open plan reception is a classic beauty. A room to enjoy come rain or shine with a ceiling which soars and ample floorspace of 5.65 x 5.47m (18’6 x 17’11) in which to work, rest or play. Perfect for parties but also for every day, the spacious kitchen area is tucked away in its own space to the left, so although sociable it does not dominate the whole space. With a practical layout and plenty of working surfaces, the vendor is happy to discuss the freestanding appliances.

Central to the apartment the bathroom is good to go and private and peaceful at the back, the double bedroom is a quiet retreat with 3.99 x 3.43m (13’1 x 11’3) to enjoy. With the handsome proportions only Regency properties deliver, there’s a handsome fireplace to enjoy and a whole wall available for wardrobes.

Agent says:
“With a beautiful combination of historic grandeur and modern convenience, this immaculate apartment has a coveted balcony with sea views in the heart of the city. Ideal as a home, if you are looking for an investment it is a sensible one near major employers and university buildings, so a car wouldn’t be necessary, and there is also an opportunity to purchase all four apartments within the building.”

Owner’s secret:
“This exciting location offers lots of things to enjoy, but it is lovely to return home afterwards when we sit on the balcony, feel a little cosmopolitan and breathe in the atmosphere.”
