Montpelier Road, Brighton, BN1

One of Brighton s finest addresses 2 blocks from the sea and at the heart of the Western Road shopping district, this light and airy 1 bed garden apartment with glorious proportions, period charm and a contemporary flow is a rare find 10 mins walk from the beach and 15-17 mins on foot from Brighton Station s direct trains to Gatwick and London (or 5 by cab). On the top floor of a Grade II listed Regency building precious period details.

Set well back from this historic, tree lined street behind a spacious front garden, this 1840 s terraced building impresses with a grand entrance, now secured by answer phone. Inside the communal hall is clean and tidy. The apartment s hallway is carpeted to hush any footfall. Ahead, two graceful rooms of classic proportions have been sensitively joined with tall, central doors to leave options open if you wanted the living room to also be a private room for occasional guests for example. The contemporary kitchen is stylish and well-planned so although it is sociable if you choose to keep the doors open, it doesn t dominate the whole space and it s ready for use with an integrated gas hob and oven beneath a hood.Past a central bathroom which has all you need including a shower over the bath and natural light, the inviting bedroom at the back is of dual aspect, blissfully quiet and it is not overlooked.
