Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
This magnificent period property of exceptional finesse and grandeur is within a stone’s throw of the beach and is located on one of the most prestigious marine estates in Sussex.

Designed by architect M. E. Lawson for British theatrical impresario and pioneer of the motion picture business, George Black, Kingston Place has a distinguished heritage as an exclusive retreat for the world of showbiz and was habitually enjoyed by the renowned Crazy Gang.

Located within moments of the private Kingston Gorse beach, Kingston Place was acquired by Billy Butlin on George Black’s death, where its discerning legacy for elaborate entertaining continued.

Offering three imposing reception rooms, an elegant kitchen / dining room, and four bedrooms, including a spectacular principal suite, this property boasts unrivaled character and sophistication, whilst simultaneously embracing an array of contemporary imperatives.

Approached by a beautiful country lane and located on the private Kingston Gorse Estate which provides immense privacy, tranquility and security for its residents, Kingston Place occupies secluded grounds with a landscaped south-facing garden offering multiple areas for entertaining.
