Enjoy an exclusive coastal lifestyle that is both private and secure in this fabulous first-floor maisonette, set within one of Brighton’s most historic and characterful quarters. Favoured by creatives and well-known residents alike, this charming terrace is tucked behind pretty front gardens in the heart of Kemp Town Village — a sought-after enclave known for its relaxed atmosphere, elegant architecture and strong community spirit.
Bright, cheerful and filled with natural light, the property faces south for sunshine and is just a stone’s throw from the sea. You’ll find everything you could need within a few minutes’ walk — from independent cafés and artisan bakeries to a local butcher, deli, book and wine shop, pharmacy, small Co-op and a lively Friday farmer’s market.
Inside, the home offers a spectacular introduction to Brighton’s famous coastal lifestyle. Thoughtfully designed to make the most of its rare south-facing roof terrace, it has an “upside-down” layout with the main living areas on the upper floor to capture light and sea air.
Upstairs, the living/dining room stretches an impressive 20’6 x 11’4 (6.3m x 3.5m), with lofty ceilings and French doors opening to a sun-baked terrace — the perfect setting for entertaining friends or simply soaking up the atmosphere of this chic neighbourhood, often affectionately nicknamed “Chelsea by the Sea.”
Past a discreet cloakroom/WC, the kitchen-dining area is a delight for those who love to cook and socialise. It features stylish modern cabinetry, integrated appliances, and generous storage. French doors lead to a secluded rear balcony, ideal for a quiet morning coffee or intimate al fresco dinners.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is spacious and serene, with elegant décor, classic proportions and alcoves for fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is equally charming — a versatile space perfect for guests or home working. A sleek, contemporary bathroom completes the accommodation, featuring high-quality fittings and a refined finish.
