AN INTRODUCTION Conceived and constructed in 1826 as a seaside retreat for the rich and famous, Portland Place continues to be one of Brighton's finest addresses. This spacious home spans three floors of an impressive brick fronted residence with graceful wrought iron balconies and railings, and the imposing front door opens to a quiet entry hall shared by only one other apartment. THE KITCHEN DINER, GUEST CLOAKROOM & UTILITY Full of light and brimming with character this is a stylish but family friendly room which has been thoughtfully planned. There's space for a table for friends to sit with a glass in hand or for the children to join you to finish homework as you bake the incentive to finish. Attractive wood units conceal sophisticated storage solutions and provide ample solid wood working surfaces. A double ceramic sink sits beneath the vast window, there's a Neff integrated dishwasher and the steel Smeg range, which could stay subject to circumstance and negotiation, rests within a chimney breast of exposed brick. On the first floor landing, the subtly practical design of this home is evident as there's a big cupboard for coats and bags and the large guest cloakroom also has plumbing for two machines, so sports kits can go straight into the washer and wet suits can be hung from the metal shelving as the floor's natural slate.
"We've loved the light and the high ceilings, particularly at Christmas when we've had some spectacular trees. It's very easy to entertain here and your new year party could continue on the beach - we have enjoyed watching the release of lanterns over the sea." - Vendor s comments THE DRAWING ROOM LUXURY BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS Regency elegance roars to life in this classically beautiful room, designed for effortless entertaining and lovely to return to after a long day in the city.

Fitted shelving's built in for you and there's also a period style fireplace with a marble inlay to gather by.
