Description

With easy access on the ground floor of a striking Grade II listed apartment building on Brighton’s iconic seafront sits this smart one-bedroom flat with high ceilings and direct sea views. It receives plenty of natural light form the south and the east due to tall windows on both elevations, ensuring both the bedroom and reception room feel airy. While it is well-presented throughout, there is huge scope for modernisation which would add value. It would, however, also be ideal should you wish to move straight in or let it out without needing to change a thing. With all apartments benefitting from a Share of the Freehold, the building itself is incredibly well-managed and maintained and the maintenance fees are low. There is on-site parking on a first-come-first-served basis – although many people choose to be car-free due to the central location. Burleigh Court is ideally positioned between the promenade and the fashionable bars, restaurants and boutique shops of Western Road, so you are always just a stroll away from some entertainment, and the beach is a joy during summer. For London commuters, Brighton Station is an easy walk, so for professionals, first-time-buyers or second homeowners looking for a secure lock-up-and-leave, this modern abode is ideal.

Built in 1829, the building bears the striking features of the Georgian era with Corinthian and classic pilasters on its façade. Parking is to the front while the entrance sits to the side on Cavendish Place where an entry phone system provides access to neat communal hallways. There is a long standing, welcoming community who live here, so the building is well-maintained, feeling safe and secure. Stepping inside this apartment on the ground floor, there is a short entrance hall with plenty of storage for coats, shoes and household items. Your eye is immediately drawn to the light streaming into the main reception room which sits to the front of the building with three tall sash windows (with secondary glazing) framing the most exceptional sea and skyscapes along the south coast. Landmarks both old and new sit alongside the newly regenerated promenade with its restaurants, paddling pool and beach huts. These views are ever-changing with the seasons and both the sunrise and sunsets are sensational. The room has been well-designed with clearly defined areas for relaxation and a dining table and chairs so you can enjoy the vista as you eat. Recessed to one side but open to the room, the kitchen is modern with ample storage, although there is potential to modernise in here without breaking the bank. While the oven and electric hob are integrated, space has been left for a washing machine and an under-counter fridge. Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom is double with ample space for furnishings, although a deep double wardrobe maximises the floor space. Nearby, the shower room is spacious and fresh in white with an electric shower ensuring constant hot water. There is yet more storage, and the entire apartment is neutrally decorated, allowing you to put your own stamp on the place – a blank canvas for new owners. Agent’s thoughts: This is the ideal flat for first-time buyers looking to live the quintessential Brighton lifestyle by the sea – who will also appreciate the relatively low maintenance charges and vibrant location with so much to enjoy within walking distance. Owners’ thoughts: “We absolutely adore living here with the beach on our doorstep and so many wonderful restaurants nearby. The views are sensational for watching the world go by along the prom or observing the murmuration of starlings over the West Pier. Each day is different depending on the weather or the time of year – and the light within the flat is amazing as it is triple aspect due to the corner position within the building.” Where it is: Shops: Western Road 4 min walk, city centre 5 min walk Train Station: Brighton Station 15 min walk Seafront or Park: Hove Lawns and the seafront are opposite Closest Schools: Primary: Brunswick Primary School, Middle Street Primary School Secondary: Hove Park, Blatchington Mill, Cardinal Newman RC Private: Brighton College This attractive apartment is situated in a popular area with plenty of local amenities and the beach on your doorstep.
