Stay in a three-storey contemporary cottage with period touches; in the heart of the vibrant North Laines surrounded by boutiques and bars, your front door is less than a mile from the beach. The railway station is 150 metres away, making the location ideal for those wishing to leave the car at home. Within half a mile you can peruse the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, a house of illusions, the majestic Royal Pavillion and catch a show at the Theatre Royal. Walk to the town’s iconic vintage pier (1 mile), where you can play the amusements, ride a zip line, fly down the helter-skelter and see the marine creatures at Sea Life. And get a birds’ eye view of the region from the British Airways i360. Swimmers will love a dip in the sea, or in the Art Deco Saltdean Lido, 5 miles east.
Entering through the front door into the hallway, a flight of stairs takes you to the first floor. Here, you’ll find the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room. Set up with entertaining in mind, this space comes equipped with a music system and colour-changing mood lighting. A plush L-shaped sofa and sophisticated Chesterfield sofa arranged beside a bay window and in front of an ornamental period fireplace, provide room for everyone to recline together over a movie. Guests can dine as a group at the industrial-style dining table with bench seating, or grab a bite at the breakfast bar. The first of the king-size bedrooms is found on this floor, with two further king-size bedrooms (one with a Smart TV, the other with an ornamental fireplace) on the second floor, along with a shower room and WC. The final king-size bedroom is on the third floor, along with a bathroom boasting a free-standing bath, a rainfall shower and colour-changing mood lighting for an indulgent soak.
A second-floor terrace with views over the rooftops towards the Royal Pavilion and the sea is a real highlight. Take a seat with family or friends around the wooden bench table, as you soak up the evening sunshine over dinner.
