With sea views to the southeast and a wealth of period Regency features; this substantial one-bedroom apartment is a real gem. It resides on the first floor of one of Brighton’s finest Regency seafront crescents giving it private resident’s use of the beautifully manicured garden enclosures which form a stunning backdrop to the main reception room. It is also just a short walk from the relaxed café culture of Kemp Town Village where you’ll find boutique shops, artisan eateries and a warm welcome. Its generous and light filled rooms have been well-maintained with a neutral décor, and there is scope to add value with further modernisation and reconfiguration if you choose. The Lanes and theatres of the city are just five-minutes away by cab, and the local schools are highly sought after, so this sunny apartment will interest professionals, first-time buyers and investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:
The exquisite Regency townhouses of Lewes Crescent and Sussex Square have an air of grandeur like no other. Since their inception at the beginning of the 19th Century they have attracted many to live a luxurious lifestyle on the south coast. While most have been converted into sizable apartments such as this one, they continue to appeal with their sea views, generous proportions and striking period features.
With pride of place on the first floor, this incredible one-bedroom apartment enjoys the highest ceilings of all the apartments in the building and full height windows looking out to the sensation sea views and skyscapes to the southeast. The manicured gardens within the crescent also form the view which is a joy to look out over at any time of year.
Stepping inside this generous home, the scale of the building is apparent from the staircase rising to the first floor within the communal ways. Period features have been retained and continue into this property to the front of the first floor. It should also be noted, this property has sole access to a large storage room on the landing which is a huge bonus for apartment living.
From the entrance hall, the eye is immediately drawn into the magnificent living room where natural light streams in through full height French windows rising through the easterly elevation. This room is particularly bright and airy with varnished wood flooring and immaculate walls in delicate duck-egg blue. A period fireplace takes centre stage, although this is for decoration only and ornate cornicing wends its way round the ceiling which soars.
A wide archway links through to the kitchen dining room enjoying the same charming views as the living space. Formal dining can take place in either side, leaving ample space for comfortable furnishings elsewhere. Discreetly recessed, the kitchen is modern with sage gloss cabinetry providing a wealth of storage alongside an integrated oven and hob, leaving space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom is a generous double with a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space further. A tall sash window frames tranquil urban views over the internal rear courtyard while allowing a cool coastal breeze to flow through the flat during summer. Nearby, the shower room is simply designed with modern sanitaryware and an electric shower to ensure constant hot water.
Agent’s thoughts:
Well-presented and ready to move into, this apartment will appeal to many as it is also perfectly located to enjoy the quintessential Brighton lifestyle by the sea.
Owner’s thoughts:
“This has been a fantastic rental property as the size of the flat and the location have ensured it has never sat empty. We fell in love with it due to the light and space in the apartment as well as the peace, and the location is really convenient.”
