Sussex Square is one of Brighton’s finest addresses and this three bedroom ground floor garden apartment has been integrated with the best of the 21st century from the cast iron designer radiators to the mood lighting in the top of the range, streamlined kitchen. Through a grand entrance now secured by an answer system, the communal hall impresses with fine period detail and the front door to this apartment is at the foot of a splendid, sweeping staircase.

The Open Plan Reception:

Instantly inviting with elegant Regency proportions and two handsome windows to frame the glory of the listed gardens, an original ceiling decorated with a stately egg and dart frieze soars to a stunning height of over 3.5 meters. Gleaming floorboards are underfoot, there is plenty of floorspace in which to relax or entertain, and friends can enjoy ambient lighting and rare seclusion by a magnificent fireplace, as carefully replaced shutters bring absolute privacy in a city favoured by highfliers at night, as well as peace of mind whilst you are away.

Streamlined and stylish, the high end kitchen is a beauty, well planned with sophisticated storage and working surfaces. Top of the range integrated appliances include a touch induction hob beneath a hood, a Zanussi dishwasher and washer/drier with a fridge on one side of the Zanussi fan oven and a wine rack on the other, and the freezer is found at the end of the run.

The Two Guest Rooms and Luxury Bathroom:

Ideal for guests or sharers as they do not share a wall, the first of the double rooms is a restful haven with beautiful proportions. Blissfully quiet and looking across to the garden, with no building behind it also offers valued privacy. Next door, the luxury shower room has an historic influence in the Burlington hand basin and Chadder & Co shower fittings, but there is nothing old fashioned about the designer finish…!

Just along the hall past a deep cupboard to keep the apartment uncluttered, the second guest room showcases the seemingly effortless blend of old and new with two original sash windows, now reconditioned and the addition of twin portholes to remind you to get out and enjoy the special location of this refined, leafy square with a tunnel straight to the beach!

The Principal Bedroom Suite and Garden:

A perfect fusion of Regency past and contemporary glamour, the principal bedroom is a sunny, inner sanctum dreams are made of, where sunlight streams through windows in two walls and French doors to an exclusive sun deck. There is ample, restful floorspace in which to spread tired wings after a busy day, a magnificent copper Chadder & Co bath with a gleaming nickel interior adds romance -and a matching copper hand basin with William Holland taps and a discreet shaving /charging point ensures everyone is fresh and fragrant.

Outside, a walled oasis of calm in the heart of the city is child, pet and party friendly. Quiet and spacious, it has an instant holiday feel, with a bridge leading from the lit deck to a brick paved, secluded dining area with waving palms, ideal for entertaining.

Agent says:
“Sussex Square is the Regency jewel in our coastal crown and acknowledged as one of the best in the UK with its Grade I listing. This prime piece of history comes with a rare, private garden as well as gated gardens for use of the residents, and ground floor apartments in this prime seafront address do not appear on the market often – and sell fast attracting professionals, international investors and families as our air is fresh, local schools are good and our cultural heart chic and inclusive.”

Owner’s secret:
“Keeping the integrity of the beautiful Regency building was very important to us. The original architects Busby and Wilds oversaw every small detail and we also designed this home as a comprehensive unit from the flowing layout to the precise interior design offering the best contemporary fittings for a luxury lifestyle, so it is easy to enjoy with friends and family. Close to the National Park and good schools, the location is great for getting into or out of the city for restaurants and theatres, and friends can travel easily to it either by car, bus or train.”
