Why you’ll like it:
The exquisite Regency townhouses of Lewes Crescent and Sussex Square have an air of grandeur like no other. Since their inception at the beginning of the 19th Century they have attracted many to live a luxurious lifestyle on the south coast. While most have been converted into sizable apartments such as this one, they continue to appeal with their sea views, generous proportions and striking period features.
With pride of place on the first floor, this incredible one-bedroom apartment enjoys the highest ceilings of all the apartments in the building and full height windows looking out to the sensation sea views and skyscapes to the southeast. The manicured gardens within the crescent also form the view which is a joy to look out over at any time of year.
Stepping inside this generous home, the scale of the building is apparent from the staircase rising to the first floor within the communal ways. Period features have been retained and continue into this property to the front of the first floor. It should also be noted, this property has sole access to a large storage room on the landing which is a huge bonus for apartment living.
From the entrance hall, the eye is immediately drawn into the magnificent living room where natural light streams in through full height French windows rising through the easterly elevation. This room is particularly bright and airy with varnished wood flooring and immaculate walls in delicate duck-egg blue. A period fireplace takes centre stage, although this is for decoration only and ornate cornicing wends its way round the ceiling which soars.
A wide archway links through to the kitchen dining room enjoying the same charming views as the living space. Formal dining can take place in either side, leaving ample space for comfortable furnishings elsewhere. Discreetly recessed, the kitchen is modern with sage gloss cabinetry providing a wealth of storage alongside an integrated oven and hob, leaving space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom is a generous double with a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space further. A tall sash window frames tranquil urban views over the internal rear courtyard while allowing a cool coastal breeze to flow through the flat during summer. Nearby, the shower room is simply designed with modern sanitaryware and an electric shower to ensure constant hot water.
Agent’s thoughts:

Owner’s thoughts:
