3 Bed Terraced House, Motivated Seller, Brighton, BN2 1GB £1,000,000

Bedroom two enjoys an easterly aspect, bringing morning light into the room via a tall sash window looking out over the historic landscape to the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park and the white cliffs lining the coast. This room also has a chic en suite shower room, while bedrooms one and two share use of the larger shower room with geometric floor tiles and a luxurious marble topped cabinet with hand basin inlaid.

A further flight rises to the top floor where the sunroom offers another social, reception space, where the views between the green and the blue only improve the further up the house you go. For star gazing, inspired writing or painting, the light and peace up here are ideal ? so it would also make for a tranquil office to work from home.

Outside, the roof terrace is a great size, which facing east, is a great spot for enjoying your morning coffee and weekend papers.

Vendor's Comments

"We have enjoyed many years in our beautiful home which has been a joy to come home to every time. The views are exquisite from every room, and we feel blessed to have such a great outdoor area for an upper-level apartment. During summer, the gardens come alive with residents and families on the crescent enjoying their beauty in the sunshine. Sussex Square and Lewes Crescent have their own sense of community, but Kemptown is also uniquely friendly with lots of lovely shops and cafes. It will be a wrench to leave."

Good to Know

Lewes Crescent was designed in the early 1800s by architect Thomas Cubitt, best known for his design of Eaton Square in London. Residents of this historic crescent enjoy private access to the famous Kemp Town Enclosures; seven acres of beautifully landscaped and planted gated gardens across two sites, designed in 1828 and stretching down to the seafront via a secret tunnel which inspired Lewis Carroll, who resided in the Square, to write the opening to Alice in Wonderland.

Brighton is a cosmopolitan coastal resort famous for its history and flamboyant Royal Pavilion as well as its beaches, Pier and glamorous Marina. Known for its festivals celebrating the arts and relaxed, café culture there are countless shops, restaurants and bars to explore along the seafront, in the characterful Georgian Lanes or in the fashionable central shopping districts and all are easy to reach from this Grade II listed home. The beach is opposite and it's just a stroll from the fashionable Kemp Town Village which hosts the Hospital and good schools including The Steiner and the award-winning Brighton College. The law courts and Amex are within reach as is the Marina with its health club, cinemas, restaurants and supermarket and the Downs, Queen's Park and 72 par golf course are a ten-fifteen-minute walk. It's also close to several bus routes serving the city centre, coast and Brighton station, with its fast links to Gatwick and London. For those who need to commute by car, the A23 and A27 are not far and permit zone H has no waiting list.
