Built by Thomas Cubitt for Thomas Kemp between 1823-1827 as Belgravia by the Sea, Grade I listed Lewes Crescent is one of the of the UK's most significant Regency landmarks and is one of only a few in the city which have private, south and sea facing gardens for the exclusive use of the residents for a reasonable annual fee.

This grand, historic building has been sympathetically made secure and inside mahogany doors open to a large communal hall with a marble floor and the original staircase which rises to this apartment on the third floor.

Inside, the apartments entrance hall is larger than you would expect at 7.65m2 (62.34 sq. ft.) with a coloured leaded window in the front door and herringbone parquet flooring which continues under the stairs leading to this sunny, secret eyrie.

Beneath a skylight, the bright landing gives a great feeling of space. Ahead, the view framed by the twin windows of the magnificent living room is mesmerizing-all you can see is the sea and the sky- but as you are drawn in, the beach and the Marina are revealed. With 5.57 x 4.88m (18'3 x 16'0) to relax into, there is ample space to enjoy with friends and family and the room has restful proportions, a classic wood floor and a Regency style fireplace. Just at the end of the landing, there's an easy flow to the breakfast room which has a west window and original fireplace.

Also on this level, at the front, the first of the double bedrooms has plenty of space for a double bed as well as quiet study, and the vista sweeping over the gardens to the sea is inspiring. Peaceful at the back, the principal bedroom is calm and comfortable with a stately fireplace - and it is not directly overlooked.
Downstairs, the generous ceiling height continues in the bright and cheerful kitchen which is well planned with a flowing layout, sensible working surfaces and integrated appliances which include an electric hob and oven beneath a hood - so time is on your side.

At the far end of the apartment, past an area large enough to be a teenage den or study area, the third double bedroom is a generous single, currently used as a home office with a fitted wardrobe on one side of a period style fireplace, and looking across a quiet street at the back, it is not directly overlooked. Next door, Regency romance springs to life in a restful double room with a fitted wardrobe and handsome fireplace where the ceiling soars to over 3m and the view is open, making it blissfully private.

Along the hall, a light and airy shower room has a Mira Sprint shower and next door, the separate w.c. has natural light.
