This light and spacious 1-bedroom apartment on the 7th floor of a well-maintained, purpose-built seafront block offers panoramic views stretching from Brighton pier to the Marina. This 56m² flat delivers the best of coastal living with the city on your doorstep.
The east-facing living room is a standout feature, with a large window and curved bay offering incredible morning light and sweeping sea views—even whilst relaxing on the sofa. Built-in shelving and a fireplace add warmth and character to the space. Decorated to a high standard, this flat is ready to move into and an ideal first time buy.
The kitchen is sleek and modern with integrated appliances, including a touch-control hob, fan oven, microwave, and extractor. Whether cooking solo or entertaining friends, it’s a practical and sociable setup.
The double bedroom with its fitted wardrobes is calm and private, also with incredible views over SoHo House, the beaches, and Brighton’s colourful skyline.
The bathroom is stylish and contemporary, complete with a quality electric shower – ideal for consistent water pressure.
The Location: You’re right in the heart of Kemptown – one of Brighton’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, with everything from indie shops to iconic nightlife within a few minutes’ walk. The beach is literally across the road, and the buzzing scenes of St James’s Street, SoHo House and the Lanes are just around the corner.
For commuters or weekenders, Brighton Station is 15 minutes away. If you work at the hospital, law courts, Amex or universities, this location is spot on. And if you don’t drive, don’t worry, everything’s walkable and public transport is excellent. (Though if you do, parking is available to rent in the building and Zone C has no waiting list for permits.)
