16 Lewes Crescent

Occupying a beautifully characterful position within an impressive Georgian building on Lewes Crescent, directly opposite Sussex Square, this charming apartment combines grand period architecture with a wonderfully private, almost townhouse-like feel.

The building itself makes an immediate impression, with a striking communal entrance and sweeping staircase rising through the centre of the building, painted in a rich, vibrant red and creating a dramatic sense of arrival. The apartment can be accessed either through this elegant communal entrance or independently from street level, offering both convenience and a greater sense of privacy.

Inside the apartment, a charming central hallway provides the perfect spot for a dining table and chairs, creating an intimate dining space at the heart of the home, with the principal rooms leading naturally from here.

The living room is particularly beautiful. Generous in proportion and flooded with character, it features, two sash windows, wonderfully high ceilings and a log-burning stove - perfect for cosy evenings during the colder months. Bespoke-style bookshelves frame the fireplace, while the room's proportions and period detailing give it the relaxed elegance of a classic London drawing room. Spacious yet inviting, it is a wonderful room in which to unwind or entertain.

The kitchen is compact but beautifully considered, with everything neatly integrated including a washing machine, fridge freezer, oven and induction hob. Positioned immediately beside the dining area, the layout works brilliantly for entertaining, allowing the kitchen, dining space and living room to connect naturally.

To the rear is a neatly presented bathroom with a white suite, tiled walls and flooring, followed by a useful study or home-office area - ideal for anyone wanting a dedicated workspace away from the main living room. The layout could quite easily be tweaked to suit your needs.

Outside, the apartment enjoys its own private wraparound patio laid with York stone, creating a wonderfully secluded outdoor retreat. With a southerly aspect and a real sense of privacy, it is an idyllic spot for morning coffee, summer drinks or simply escaping with a book.

Residents also enjoy access to the magnificent private gardens of Sussex Square and Lewes Crescent, one of Brighton's most beautiful historic green spaces, complete with the famous tunnel leading beneath Marine Parade directly towards the seafront. With rejuvenated Madeira Drive, tranquil beach, area, coffee shops and bars and the popular Sea Lanes for fitness. Kemp Town Village tucked to the rear of the block and the Marina are a short stroll.

A truly special Brighton home, full of individuality, architectural charm and period detail, positioned moments from the sea while enjoying the tranquillity and grandeur of one of the city's most prestigious addresses. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
