MOMENTS FROM THE BEACH IN HISTORIC KEMP TOWN SQUARE, A GRADE I LISTED DUPLEX PENTHOUSE APARTMENT PART OF AN AWARD WINNING DEVELOPMENT - PRESENTED TO A SUPERB STANDARD THROUGHOUT AND BOASTING THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS, DIRECT LIFT ACCESS, DISTANT SEA VIEWS, A GARAGE AND A REMARKABLE ROOF TERRACE.

Located on the top two floors in one of Brighton's most iconic seafront areas, this impressive early 19th century penthouse is ideally situated for all that Brighton and Kemp Town have to offer.

Set inside a distinctive Grade I listed square, the house its self was home to Thomas Kemp who designed many properties in the Square and is the founder of Kemptown. A dual aspect interior pairs contemporary design against the charm and grandeur of a distinguished Regency property to create a comfortable and attractive aesthetic. Dating back to the 1800s, residents of Sussex Square have access to the private enclosed gardens with its secret tunnel that runs beneath Marine Parade to the seafront.

A wealth of natural light combines with a warm neutral colour palette forming a calming backdrop to the easy flowing layout of this Kemp Town home. Directly entering the apartment by way of a secure lift, a central bright hallway gives access to all rooms.

Offering panoramic views that stretch across the gardens of Sussex Square and down to the sea, a trio of mullion sash windows allows natural light to tumble into a main reception room. Providing a highly sociable and versatile feel, the open plan room cleverly follows a horseshoe design. The generous proportions allow plenty of space to relax and entertain.

A contemporary kitchen is fully fitted with a sophisticated combination of walnut handleless cabinets housing an array of integrated appliances and sleek countertops offering ample work space. A convenient breakfasting room is set at the opposite side of the apartment, the room is a highly versatile space lending itself well to dining area, comfortable sitting area or home office.

The sense of style and space continues downstairs, where two bedrooms and a study/guest room provide plenty of family accommodation and dual space potential. A spacious principal suite looks out across the rooftops from a wide sash window, its neutral colour scheme allowing the flow of natural light to bounce around the room. The main room leads effortlessly on to a dressing area fitted with bespoke wardrobes supplying an abundance of storage without encroaching on the aesthetics of the room, while a large en suite bathroom features a generous tub and separate walk-in shower. There are two further bedrooms both are well-proportioned rooms with the smallest currently occupied as home study. A further bathroom suite follows an equally sophisticated design and is centrally placed between the remaining bedrooms. The property is complete with an additional cloak room and a handy utility room.

The Apartment comes with all the mod-cons of modern life; CAT 5 cabling, secure phone intercom & a security coded lift which comes directly into the flat.

Outside
Worthy of particular mention is the truly incredible roof terrace. Measuring in excess of 1,000 sqft/93sqm, this exceptional space is unobscured by surrounding buildings delighting in summer sun. The views from this elevated vantage are utterly striking, looking out across the rooftops as far as the beautiful south downs stretched out in the distance. The roof terrace can be accessed from the breakfasting room, lending the space very well to outdoor gatherings and al fresco dining.

Wonderfully-kept private residential gardens offer a more sociable change of scene as well as the hidden tunnel leading directly to the shoreline.
