Clarendon Terrace, Brighton, BN2

A striking Regency building with magnificent sea views, 5-6 Clarendon Terrace is a stunning example of late Georgian architecture. The elegant stucco building was originally constructed in the 1850s as grand townhouses forming part of a terrace built by Cheesemans for William Percival Boxall. Now converted into apartments, the terrace retains much of its original character, with imposing Doric columns, sash windows and cast iron railings, typical of the Regency style.

This fabulous apartment has a first-floor position at the end of the terrace, the 2 balconies enjoy views on three sides over the seafront and the cityscape of Brighton. A full and exacting renovation has created a very stylish, ‘maximalist’ home, with Art Deco-inspired wall coverings, feature lighting and American Walnut panelling – all complemented by original features like ceiling roses and decorative coving. The glamorous style can be found throughout: a magnificent sitting room with three tall windows around a projecting bow complete with operational wooden window shutters looking out to sea, is a standout. A wood-panelled wall conceals a mounted television, while backlit alcoves are ideal for displaying objets d’art. The principal bedroom occupies the second projecting bay, also enjoying stunning southerly sea views and benefitting from a fabulous concealed walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room with balcony access. The kitchen, to the rear of the apartment, is also a highlight, with black American walnut panelling, Miele appliances, a window seat and an island with seating on two sides and an bespoke central lighting effect. Further premium touches to the apartment include soundproofing to the floors and windows, air conditioning, a ‘living wall’ in the main bathroom and extensive storage within the entrance hallway and the loft space above.

The property also benefits from lift access and a video entryphone, with all owners having a share of the freehold.

Outside

A balcony wraps around the front of the apartment, facing south and providing far-reaching views out to sea, over Brighton Beach and towards the Palace Pier, with its colourful attractions. The proximity to the sea allows for an invigorating outdoor lifestyle, with excellent access to the seafront promenade, beaches, water sports and refreshing coastal walks, as well as the amenities of the city centre. The property further benefits from a garage and parking space.
