A SUBSTANTIAL, IMPECCABLY PRESENTED GROUND FLOOR GRADE II LISTED APARTMENT WITH TWO GENEROUSLY-SIZED DOUBLE BEDROOMS & TWO RECEPTION ROOMS IN THIS ICONIC SEAFRONT TERRACE. 9 MONTH LET ONLY, FROM 19TH AUG.
Once home to an exiled foreign King, a prime minister’s wife and even, rumoured, the Prince Regent for a weekend, this impeccable home is utterly steeped in history. A fine example of regency grandeur, tall thin sash windows peek out from iconic stucco clad, bowed bays. The simple neoclassical lines characterized by Corinthian pillars are emboldened by delicately shaped cast iron railings.
This extraordinary ground floor apartment is briefly comprised of a generous open plan kitchen and lounge (or kitchen and dining room), a separate second reception room, two-bedroom suites and a sleek central cloakroom.

In more detail
Having operated as a hotel during the interwar years, the grand proportions of this apartment come as no surprise. On entering the property from a private off-street entrance, an open vestibule invites you into this comfortable residence.
On arriving into the delightfully presented open plan lounge and kitchen you are immediately struck by the vast dimensions of this impressive home. Decorated in crisp white, an opulent barrel-vaulted ceiling looms over head juxtaposed by the chestnut tones of an engineered wood floor. Whilst strip and downlighting has been expertly positioned to illuminate this large west facing room.
An impressive contemporary designed kitchen is perfectly arranged to the front of the property; featuring sophisticated handleless cabinets in natural stone or off-white colour and topped by marble worksurfaces. The kitchen also benefits from integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and an enviable in-built wine cooler. The remainder of the room affords ample space to house an additional dining and a sitting area; lending itself very well to entertaining.
A cased opening leads on to a second reception room, where a wall of south facing casement windows and double doors floods the space with natural light. The room is entirely versatile and could be repurposed to accommodate a large variety of other uses.
The bedrooms can be accessed from a central hallway that leads of the open plan kitchen/diner/lounge. Each bedroom suite is a large double room fitted with built-in wardrobes and a private en-suite bath or shower room.
A separate cloakroom presented in an equally modern design is conveniently positioned in the hallway.
