Occupying the eighth, penthouse floor of a popular block on a tree-lined avenue which stretches right down to the beach, this exceptional apartment offers magnificent views across the city and out to sea. Filled with natural daylight and designed to offer stunning vistas from every room, this impeccably presented property has a stylish and cohesive design theme, with attention to detail in the finish.

The main reception room is cleverly delineated into semi-separate dining and sitting areas, which combine to create a sociable, dual aspect sitting and living space, perfect for enjoying the splendid outlook or for socialising together with family and friends. At the southern end, French doors invite you into a wonderful sun room, offering further reception space, with wrap-around floor-ceiling windows and doors out to the generous southerly sun terrace. A fantastically well-appointed, fully fitted kitchen with sleek handle-less cabinets housing an array of appliances including dishwasher, wine fridge and washing machine, along with a microwave, oven and hob.

Along the hallway are both bedrooms, each with fabulous high-end fitted wardrobes and bookshelves, with the marvellous principal bedroom boasting a further sun room with access onto a second sun terrace with far reaching views. Both bedrooms share a glorious, deluxe bathroom with contemporary suite comprising floating basin and L-shaped bath with overhead waterfall shower.

Outside

The colourful murals of the building’s facade instantly add plenty of character to its mid-century design, while steps lead up to a beautifully maintained lobby that has a secure video-entry system. Residents of Bowen Court benefit from two lifts and a live in caretaker. This particular apartment also has the added bonus of a private garage.

Occupying either end and one full side of this fabulous home, are a duo of private roof terraces to the north and south, offering breath-taking vistas that sweep across the cityscape and down to the sea. Each of these enviable outdoor spaces are the ideal spot to recline in the sun or catch up with friends over dinner and drinks.

Situation

Bowen Court is in a fantastically central location, with the high street, Hove Lawns and the beach just at the end of the road to the south. Church Road and its continuation, Western Road, offer an array of boutique shops, cafés, bars and restaurants and central Brighton, with its more extensive shopping and Churchill Square, are easily accessible. Hove Station is 0.6 miles and Brighton Station is 1.5 miles away, both with fast direct trains to London and Gatwick.
