About
A bright and spacious first floor apartment seconds from the seafront Just a short stroll from the beach in the popular residential pocket between Kemptown and Brighton seafront, this immaculate one-bedroom first floor apartment offers a rare combination of generous proportions, a sleek contemporary finish and an exceptional location - all on a chain free basis, making it an ideal first home or a sound investment in one of Brighton's most sought-after coastal neighbourhoods.
With 713 sq ft (66.2 sq m) of beautifully presented living space, a living room of genuinely impressive scale and the tantalising potential to extend into the loft and create a second bedroom subject to consent, this is a property with both immediate appeal and long-term opportunity.
The scale of this apartment is the first surprise - a bay-windowed living room flooded with natural light, original cornicing overhead and generous proportions that simply are not expected from a first floor Victorian flat.
Freshly decorated throughout and entirely ready to enjoy, it is a home that feels immediately comfortable and quietly impressive.
Wonderfully bright and expansive with a broad bay window and a further sash window filling the room with light throughout the day.
Original cornicing, fresh pale carpet and white walls make it an elegant blank canvas, whilst the bay itself frames a charming rooftop outlook with the sea glimpsed at the bottom of the road.
Sleek and well-proportioned with gloss white handleless units, an integrated oven and hob, white metro tile splashback and wood-effect flooring - clean, contemporary and entirely ready to use.
The double bedroom is a calm and well-proportioned room with a sash window enjoying a green outlook over rooftops - quiet, private and comfortable.
The bathroom is a real highlight - patterned encaustic floor tiles, a white vanity unit, a bath with shower and a bright sash window deliver a quality finish well above average for a property at this price point.
For buyers with an eye on the future, the loft presents a genuine opportunity to extend upward and create a second bedroom subject to the usual consents - a move that would meaningfully increase both the living space and the long-term value of the property.

Arundel Road sits in a quiet, characterful area of terraced Victorian houses just seconds from the seafront promenade - step outside and the English Channel is visible at the bottom of the road, a view that catches the eye every time.
Kemptown Village with its independent cafés, bistro bars and boutique shops is a short walk, and the city centre, arts venues and the famous Lanes are all accessible on foot.
