A calming contemporary apartment within a striking and historic building

This historic building was converted into luxury City apartments in 2004 and has the benefit of an attendant concierge. This stylish, split-level penthouse apartment offers very private, sophisticated and secure living in the heart of Brighton.

As soon as you enter the building, there is a feeling of space and grandeur with stained glass windows, tiled floors, exposed marble and a sweeping stone staircase. This split-level apartment is located at the top of the building accessed through sleek and well-maintained communal hallways.

The apartment has an elegant, fashionable, yet timeless finish throughout with captivating oak arches. The large open plan kitchen living space is flooded with light and is generously sized with tall windows giving out on the Level below. The kitchen itself is beautifully made by The Shaker Kitchen Company and is finished off with crisp Zinc work tops, within the well equipped kitchen is a double oven and five ring hob provided by Neff, built in Bosch dishwasher and a Samsung American fridge freezer. There is also the added benefit of a breakfast bar area.

The master bedroom is also located on the lower level. The en-suite has clean lines and modern fittings and an additional dressing area completes the master suite beautifully. A quirky spiral staircase ascends from this area to a fabulous mezzanine space currently laid out as a large home office.

The main staircase leads from the entrance hall to the mezzanine level. On this floor, you can truly appreciate the splendour of the building and the corridor with its exposed oak arches gives access to two further ample-sized double bedrooms together with generous built-in storage areas.

This charming and unique building is located across from The Level which has recently benefited from a massive regeneration project. The re-landscaped park now also includes a café and an exhibition room. The bustling streets of the North Laines are on your door step with its unique shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Brighton mainline railway station is under a mile away making this property ideal either for nipping into the city or a London commuter.
