2 WELCOME TO PALMEIRA SQUARE BN3 4 BEDROOMS (2 EN-SUITE) 3 BATHROOMS 2 SUBSTANTIAL 1898 SQ FT PERMIT ZONE M BRUNSWICK TOWN CA Famed for its striking architecture and rich local history, Palmeira Square remains one of the most sought after addresses in the city. This elegant apartment is formed from the entire lower ground floor of a west facing townhouse, and while it has been modernised in areas, and extended at the rear, it has thankfully retained much of its original structure. Its rooms are generously proportioned due to the scale of the building, and the depth of the property is breath-taking. Natural light is able to stream in from east to west due to wide bay windows to the front; via the central courtyard garden, and from the pretty east-facing garden to the rear, and with four double bedrooms and two reception rooms it is the perfect size for families and professionals alike. The layout is versatile, offering spaces for entertaining and relaxation, and during the summer you can enjoy the manicured gardens of the square which is home to regular festivities throughout the year. Hove Lawns and beach are also visible, and you are in the middle of the vibrant social centres of both Western and Church Roads. Hove Station is easy to reach on foot, and buses at the top of the road can take you throughout the city and beyond, plus the local schools are amongst the best in the city. This is a unique apartment which has been well-maintained by the current owners who have lived here happily for 30-years. With potential for further modernisation, and a highly favoured location, it is sure to attract the attentions of many.

4 AN INTRODUCTION Simply walking through the gardens of Palmeira Square, with these gracious townhouses rising either side, can be quite an experience. They are undoubtedly some of the finest examples of Regency architecture, and since their inception in 1850, they have continued to attract people to the city. Grade II listed, their stunning buttermilk facades are of an Italianate style with Tuscan columns below their grand portico entrances. They were compared to the grand terraces of London's Hyde Park, which were built at the same time, putting Brighton firmly on the map as the most desirable place to live outside the capital. Even before you step foot into this elegant Regency apartment, its immaculate, own street entrance is set to impress. Slate tiled steps lead down to cool-grey decking, and the window boxes are abundant with geranium in bloom. The front door sits within a covered porch, and once inside, the scale of the apartment becomes apparent, as your line of sight takes you right through two reception rooms to the pretty garden at the rear. RECEPTION ROOMS Opulent carpet runs the length of the entrance hall, passing the bedrooms on the westerly wing, to where the corridor doubles in width creating a fantastic dining area. Double doors link it on either side to the rest of the apartment as it sits centrally, creating an intimate yet sociable space. It is lit by a single chandelier pendant light, and the kitchen is easily accessible next door for formal dining occasions. For relaxation, the living room sits at the far end of the apartment, on the other side of the kitchen, and is double aspect with views of the internal courtyard and out to the sunny garden. Spanning the width of the building, this is a generous room with wooden floors and ample space for comfortable furnishings. Doors open to the conservatory sun room which is a delightful place to sit in peace during the summer, allowing the cool coastal breeze to flow through.

5 "It has been over 30-years since we moved into this apartment, and it is still a joy to come home to. With its own street entrance, it is really private, and when you sit out in the garden, you would never think you were in the middle of the city. It is definitely the location which has kept us here so long, however. You are perfectly positioned between both Brighton and Hove, and the walking along the promenade is a lovely experience at any time of year. We have also benefitted from the fantastic bus service from the top of the square, where you can hop on and go anywhere in the city. We are moving closer to family in the countryside, but we aren't moving too far from Brighton as we will be back to visit on a regular basis." - Vendor s comments THE KITCHEN LUXURY BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS Conveniently positioned between the two reception areas, the kitchen is a contemporary addition having been fitted only two years ago. Its white gloss units have smooth curved edges, which are mirrored in the black granite worktops, into which, the sink and draining grooves have been seamlessly cut-in. Every appliance has been considered and integrated, to include a tall fridge freezer, both a fan and a microwave oven, a dishwasher and an induction hob, while the utilities are tucked away in their own space within the rear extension. The walls add a welcome pop of colour in warm Moroccan blue, and two sash windows look out over the tranquil courtyard; complete with a modern water feature.

7 GOOD TO KNOW It has been suggested that the kitchen could be extended into the courtyard garden creating an even more spacious open plan kitchen and dining space, but this would reduce the light into the master bedroom. Planning consents would need to be sought, however, as it is a listed building within a conservation area. BEDROOMS, BATHROOM & HOT TUB Bedrooms two and three sit at the front of the building, and are accessed down a short corridor to the left of the entrance. These are lovely double rooms with a westerly aspect, and being set back from the road, the sunshine casts a warming light during the afternoon and early evening. The décor in both is fresh and neutral with latte carpets and creamy walls, and the sash windows have been well maintained to ensure a warm and restful night's sleep. They share use of a modern shower room; tiled in travertine and with a reviving rainfall shower. A conical hand basin has been set into a wooden stand and a tall heated rail warms your towels. Bedroom four's suite is part of a later extension to the rear of the building, accessible from the conservatory. It is tucked away from the main living areas making it ideal for guests as it has its own en suite shower room. For a touch of luxury, there is a sunken Jacuzzi hot tub too with comfortable seating for four, so you can truly relax after a long day.

10 "Such a bright and peaceful home in an idyllic setting, it s an incredible property that is making an instant impression." - Simon Lemcke Brand Vaughan MASTER BEDROOM SUITE With plush, deep pile carpet underfoot, a walk in dressing room and a wall of gleaming wardrobes; the master bedroom suite is a chic and glamorous space where you can tuck yourself away from the hubbub of family life. It is a generous room, where during the summer you can leave the sliding doors open to the courtyard, and drift off to the meditative sound of water cascading over the pebbles. The en suite bathroom was also a recent addition, and is on trend with contemporary dual sinks with LED lit mirrors above, and a wet-room shower spanning the end of the room.

11 LOCATION This generous mansion flat is beautifully situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to both stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London. GARDEN & COURTYARD With glazing on three sides, the central courtyard forms a peaceful backdrop to the master bedroom suite, the living room and the kitchen. It also allows natural light to flow through the apartment while bringing it in from above. It is a zen space with a contemporary column water feature, and hanging baskets hanging gracefully from the pergola cross beams. For sunbathing and dining alfresco, the rear garden is a real treat for the senses, and is incredibly quiet and spacious for a Regency townhouse. There is a large built-in shed to store your gardening tools and furniture during winter, and there is plenty of space for planting both flowers and vegetables in the borders around the decked patio. Being open to the south, it is a real suntrap during summer too, and as the sun moves past the house, you can always sit in the beautiful manicured gardens of the square as it sets in the west.
