Conceived by Thomas Kemp, designed by Busby and Wilds and built by Thomas Cubitt between 1823-1827 as Belgravia by the Sea, Grade I listed Lewes Crescent is recognised as one of the of the UK’s most important Regency treasures and is one of only a few in our coastal city which have private gardens for the residents, and is possibly the only listed Regency garden development on a south facing seafront.
When entering and leaving the Regency House you have a wonderful vista across the private gardens to the sea. The flat retains a number of original features and is light and spacious; it has been subject to a full redecoration and refurbishment throughout, using a muted pallet of Farrow & Ball colours and is ready to move into.
The apartment has a separate hallway which is equipped with two large built in wardrobes with hanging space and shelving. There is also a desk space bridging between the wardrobes and this space could be used as a dressing table, or home/work office.
The kitchen is equipped with a ceramic hob & oven, new sink & taps, new cabinet doors and a new extractor fan have been fitted into the storage units . Additionally a fridge and washing machine, plus all mirrors and lights in the flat are included. A feature glass ceiling light has been installed radiating light throughout.
The bathroom is bright and airy with a new bath, tap/shower, screen and fittings. There is an original large chrome heated towel rail.
The lounge is an original Regency room with 12’ high ceilings and is unusually large. The fireplace has a traditional wooden surround, the window is large with characteristic multi pained windows and the original wooden shutters are in good working condition. A new wall bed and storage unit has been installed and is easily operated and when closed bedding and pillows are out of sight. This leaves a considerable space for entertaining and relaxing. Stylish new wall lights have been installed giving a warm ambience. There are extensive views from the window along Rock Street which provides ample opportunity to watch the world go bye in Kemp Town.
Outside, the Grade II listed gardens with a tunnel to the beach are provided exclusively for residents.
Agent says:
“In a prime but quiet location within an iconic Regency crescent leading to the beach this spacious studio would suit professionals who work in the city or investors as it is only an 8 minute walk to the County Hospital – 5 by bus – with major employers, the station to Gatwick and London and the cultural heart of the city within a 10-15 minute radius by bus or cab.”
Owner’s secret:
“The crescent is beautiful, and offers a balance between being sociable in the gardens which have annual parties for the residents, exploring the local restaurants with friends or enjoying a quiet supper at home. The studio is light and airy and with a separate kitchen and bathroom it feels relaxing. The location in a fabulous historic setting is hard to beat so close to the vibrant seaside city where there is so much to do! Local amenities include a High Street and our favourite café and restaurant Marmalade and bistro bar Busby & Wilds around the corner, and the nearby park leads to the Downs.”
