Why You’ll Love It:
Set within Brighton’s finest, Grade I listed Regency square, this exceptional first-floor apartment blends historic grandeur with stylish modern living. Flooded with natural light, it offers a rare sense of space and elegance just steps from the sea.
The property features a show-stopping south facing reception room with soaring ceilings, full-height sash windows, working shutters, ornate cornicing, and a striking fireplace. The space is both refined and relaxed—ideal for entertaining or unwinding in style. A high-gloss, integrated kitchen runs neatly along one wall, with sleek worktops and under-cabinet lighting.
French doors open to a private balcony overlooking the Square’s formal gardens—perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening sun.
Two generous double bedrooms, both with large, bespoke mirrored wardrobes, offer quiet sanctuary. One is on a slightly lower level, with a rear garden view. A luxurious bathroom has a freestanding tub, walk-in shower, and elegant tiling. There’s a separate room with modern WC and wash basin, and ample storage space.
Residents enjoy exclusive access to the Kemp Town Enclosures— beautifully maintained private gardens with tennis courts, woodland areas, and a hidden tunnel leading directly to the beach.
Local newspaper The Argus has called this "Brighton's very own wonderland" because author Lewis Carroll used to spend his summers in the salubrious surroundings of Sussex Square and the secluded gardens of the Square and adjoining Lewes Crescent. The story goes that the tunnel leading from the gardens, under the road and towards the esplanade at the beach, was the inspiration for the scene of Alice in Wonderland when Alice falls down a tunnel starting her adventures.

In one of Brighton’s most glamorous locations within walking distance of the Marina’s waterfront restaurants, health club, shops and cinemas, this beautiful apartment has use of 7.5 acres of Grade II listed gardens which have a tunnel to the beach.

Past the County Hospital and award winning Brighton College, a 15 min walk takes you to the heart of Kemptown with its fashionable al fresco lifestyle, patisseries, bars and restaurants, whilst a scenic 20-25 minute seafront stroll – or 7 minute cab ride- takes you to the picturesque cultural heart of our coastal resort.
Agent's Thoughts:
“This is Regency Brighton at its best. You have all the elegance of a Grade I listed building combined with modern finishes and a layout that really works. That view from the balcony is just beautiful—and with the Enclosures on your doorstep, it’s a peaceful oasis in the city.”
Owner's Secret:
"Sitting on the south-facing balcony or at the French doors of the grand living room, looking out, either side, to the Square's elegant Regency architecture and, ahead, to the trees of the magical private Kemp Town Enclosures – the flat-owner has a key – gives a sense of exclusivity. In the autumn, as leaves fall, a vista of the sea beyond appears."
