Why You’ll Like It

Beautifully styled throughout, the apartment blends period grandeur with contemporary design, offering soaring ceilings, immense arched windows and a refined interior palette which feels both elegant and effortlessly modern. At almost 1,500 sq ft, the scale is rarely found in central Brighton apartments.

Approached through an impressive communal entrance hall with terrazzo flooring, Corinthian columns and a sweeping marble staircase, the building immediately sets the tone for the architectural drama that follows.

Inside, a generous entrance hall introduces the apartment where designer botanical wallpaper and double-height storage create a memorable first impression. The ceiling heights are extraordinary and natural light flows throughout the home.

The Living Space

The principal living room is a truly spectacular space.

Vast in scale and beautifully proportioned, it is illuminated by two enormous three-panel sash windows which frame views towards the Royal Pavilion. American walnut flooring runs underfoot, while a bespoke floor-to-ceiling library wall provides both visual impact and practical storage.

A striking black baroque wallpapered chimney breast anchors the room, adding a dramatic focal point against the crisp white walls and rich timber floor.

Sliding glass pocket doors reveal a bespoke Poggenpohl kitchen, seamlessly integrated into the space. Finished with wooden worktops, stainless steel detailing and designer appliances, it offers both style and functionality. An east-facing window fills the kitchen with morning light, making it a bright and welcoming place to start the day.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

A secondary hallway creates a sense of separation between the entertaining and sleeping areas – ideal for modern living.

The principal bedroom is calm and elegant with lofty ceilings, a statement designer light fitting and ample space for furnishings.

The second double bedroom enjoys peaceful rear-facing views towards neighbouring mews buildings and has been finished with soft grey tones and feature designer wallpaper.

The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a Villeroy & Boch suite, including a bath, separate walk-in shower and wall-hung basin. Above the bathroom sits a useful loft storage space.

A cleverly designed utility cloakroom near the entrance houses Miele appliances, a WC and a traditional butler sink.

The Building & Practicalities

Old Court House is one of Brighton’s most recognisable historic buildings. Originally serving as a parochial office and civic building, its handsome red brick façade and deep arched windows remain a striking feature of the Pavilion Quarter.
