This flat is simply breath-taking in its proportions. Lovingly restored to its full glory it has many original features including an ornate marble fireplace; intricate coving; celling roses; panelled walls and huge shuttered windows and a large balcony with direct sea views.

This Regency terrace forms part of the original Kemp Town estate conceived by Thomas Read Kemp in the 19th Century. It s grand and stately and has all the features that you would expect from such regal buildings.This flat is located on the first floor which is easily accessed via the wide, Regal, red-carpeted curved staircase in the main entranceway. As you go in the front door you come into a hallway that s as large and elegant as the rest of the flat with panelled walls and a chandelier which wouldn t look out of place in the Royal Pavilion.The kitchen is to the right and what a kitchen it is. It has been carefully designed to make the most of the height with a pan rack suspended from the ceiling and a large window to the light well. There are wall and base units around all the sides and an island in the middle so when you re preparing food you can still enjoy the sea views and entertain guests.

As you go through the kitchen there s a bespoke office space before you come to the bedrooms. There are three bedrooms in total. The first is a fabulous guest room. To maximise the height, and to be able to accommodate as many guests as possible, a mezzanine floor has been added which gives space for another double bed perfect as a family room.Next door is the master suite. This is an extraordinary room with huge sash windows looking out onto landscaped gardens below. Intricate cornicing edges the vast ceiling and there is a whole wall of built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room with a beautiful orange bowl sink and walk in shower unit. The third bedroom is smaller but still a generous double with a window onto the light well and there s a family bathroom next door with a utility cupboard and access to the huge loft.

While the back of this flat is impressive, the front is simply breath-taking. This room has everything high ceilings, stunning original cornicing, French windows to the balcony, a marble fireplace, wood-burning stove, amazing coving and a beautiful ceiling rose. It s hard to capture the splendour of this flat in words; it needs to be seen to be fully appreciated and is a fabulous example of the architecture that has made Brighton famous.
