Lewes Crescent, Brighton

Set within one of Lewes Crescent’s landmark Grade I listed townhouses, this beautifully restored Regency apartment combines historic grandeur with calm, contemporary living, all overlooking the sea. 

Entering through the grand communal hallway, the scale and elegance of the building immediately set the tone. Inside the apartment, a wide entrance hall connects the rooms, with a soft, considered colour palette that enhances the period detailing and allows the spaces to flow naturally from one to another. 

At the front of the apartment sit the main living room and kitchen, connected by double doors so the spaces can be open and sociable or closed off when needed. The living room looks towards the communal gardens, while the kitchen is arranged around a striking arched window at the rear. Finished in soft sage green cabinetry with Bosch appliances, gas hob and ample storage, the kitchen also has space for a dining table, making it a room designed for both cooking and gathering. 

A further room sits just off the living space, currently used as a reading room but equally suited as a bedroom or study, with a shower room located further along the hall. 

Moving deeper into the apartment, the atmosphere becomes quieter and more private. The second bedroom sits peacefully towards the rear of the property, creating a calm and restful space away from the main living areas. The second en-suite shower room is finished in warm terracotta tones, which complement the bedroom beautifully and add warmth and character to the space.

At the rear of the apartment, in its own private section, sits the principal suite. Entered through an arched doorway, the bedroom is bright and beautifully proportioned, with exceptional sea views framed by a curved wall. Here, you can sit and watch the changing light and boats passing across the horizon. A tiled en-suite bathroom completes this private retreat. 

Living here is as much about the setting as the apartment itself. Residents have access to the private garden enclosures – one of Kemp Town’s most special features – providing green space for picnics, reading, or simply sitting in the sun. With the beach opposite and Kemp Town Village moments away, the lifestyle here is easy to understand and hard to leave.

The area (200 words) 

Lewes Crescent sits just off Marine Parade, running along the coast to the east of the city centre, with uninterrupted views across the pebbled beaches and out to sea. Positioned just west of Brighton Marina, the apartment enjoys easy access to its harbourside restaurants and cafés, cinema, supermarket and David Lloyd health club. Recent additions along the seafront include an outdoor Olympic-sized swimming pool, beach sauna, food outlets, shops and a bar, complementing the existing mini golf course and children’s playpark. The historic Volk’s Electric Railway, built in 1883, continues to run along the seafront, adding to the area’s unique coastal character. 

The beach is directly opposite the apartment, while Kemp Town Village is just a short stroll away, offering boutique shops, artisan cafés and a friendly village atmosphere, alongside the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Queen’s Park, the South Downs and the nearby golf course are all within a ten to fifteen-minute walk. Brighton city centre can be reached on foot in around thirty minutes, while to the east, the picturesque village of Rottingdean, with its charming pond and welcoming pubs, is easily accessed via the scenic Undercliff Walk.
