Prized South-Facing Two-Bedroom Apartment with Balcony Terrace, Listed Gardens & South Downs Views – See Video Tour
Nestled in a rare end position in the main south building of the prestigious King Edward VII Estate, this exceptional south-facing two-bedroom apartment combines light, space, and elegance with breathtaking views over the estate’s listed gardens and towards the rolling South Downs. Occupying a highly sought-after westerly end, the apartment enjoys three aspects — north, west, and south — flooding the interior with natural light throughout the day.

The open-plan living and dining area has been thoughtfully designed for both modern living and entertaining. Oak-engineered flooring flows throughout, complemented by high ceilings and multi-mood lighting. Full-height French doors lead onto a private south-facing terrace balcony, offering a perfect setting for al fresco dining or simply relaxing in the sun while enjoying uninterrupted views of the gardens and countryside beyond.

The sleek, contemporary kitchen is a true focal point. Crafted tall cabinetry painted in a refined Heritage palette is paired with elegant stone worktops, upstands, and splashbacks. Integrated Siemens appliances include a double oven — the smaller being a combi microwave/oven — ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. The kitchen comfortably accommodates a 9ft dining table, and a tall lead-light window, fitted with a bespoke thermal blind, frames charming views across the gardens to the historic listed Chapel.

Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and feature secondary glazing, ensuring a warm and comfortable environment throughout the winter months. The master bedroom boasts westerly garden views and bespoke built-in mirrored wardrobes, while the second bedroom enjoys vistas over the Chapel and gardens, complete with electric blinds and bedside wall lights. Both rooms are finished with soft wool carpets, adding warmth and comfort.

The bathroom is luxurious yet understated, featuring Grade A Travertine tiles, premium Vitra sanitaryware, Hansgrohe brassware, and a sleek glass-screened shower. A wall-mounted bathroom cabinet provides additional storage, while a chrome heated towel rail and LED downlighting complete the elegant finish.

Additional features include mains-operated smoke detectors, Sky and Freeview provision, and a communal gas central heating system with radiators throughout. The apartment benefits from secure entry and fitted burglar alarms.
