Set high above the coast on the top floor of the magnificent French Apartments, this exceptionally spacious two bedroom, two bathroom home enjoys a wonderfully private setting with sea views, gated off-street parking accessed via remote control, and an impressive 1,028 sq ft of light-filled accommodation.
Originally built in extravagant French Renaissance style in the late 19th century, this landmark Grade II listed building is one of Brighton’s most distinctive architectural treasures, set back from the seafront within its own grounds.
Inside, the apartment has a character quite unlike the conventional, with its top-floor position creating interesting rooflines, individual windows and an abundance of natural light. At its heart is a spectacular open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, where a succession of windows and rooflights bring the sunshine in and views towards the English Channel provide a constant reminder of just how close you are to the coast.
Designed as a genuinely sociable space, there is ample room for generous seating as well as a full-size dining table, while the kitchen is cleverly arranged at one end so it remains connected to the room without dominating it. Warm timber cabinetry is paired with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances, with a breakfast bar creating an easy spot for morning coffee or conversation while cooking.
The scale of the living space is particularly impressive. Light pours through the rooflights overhead while windows set within the roofline give the apartment a wonderfully individual personality. Whether entertaining friends around the dining table or simply settling into the sitting area at the end of the day, this is a home designed around space, light and easy living.
Privately positioned at opposite ends of the apartment, both bedrooms are generous doubles. The principal bedroom is a peaceful retreat with useful storage and its own en-suite bathroom complete with a full-size bath. At the other end of the home, the second bedroom provides excellent flexibility for guests, family or anyone needing a substantial home office alongside bedroom space. A separate shower room sits conveniently nearby.
The considerable advantage of the gated off-street parking, accessed by remote control, makes returning home refreshingly straightforward and provides additional security and convenience, while the impressive surroundings of The French Apartments give a welcome sense of separation from the bustle of the city
