Owner’s thoughts

Living in Sussex Square has been a genuine privilege. There’s something quite special about being part of such a historic and beautifully maintained setting in Brighton-it’s a lifestyle as much as a home.

I’ve especially loved spending time in the private gardens, whether it’s a relaxed picnic or simply a glass of wine in the sunshine. The sense of peace there is rare for such a central location. And of course, the famous tunnel to the beach-said to have inspired Lewis Carroll-has always been a talking point when friends visit. It’s one of those unique features that really stays with you.

The addition of the Reading Rooms has been a real highlight for me. Sitting there in the sunshine, enjoying the sea views, is something i’ll truly miss. At the same time, the convenience of the excellent bus service-with regular connections into the city every couple of minutes-makes everyday living incredibly easy.

What has stood out most, though, is the peace and privacy. With only four apartments in the building-and two of those used as second homes-it’s exceptionally quiet. The layout adds to that sense of calm too, as the apartment below is also a duplex, meaning there’s effectively an entire floor between us. This is very rare in Sussex Sq or similar Regency conversion flats.

Inside the apartment, the light and views are unforgettable. I’ve enjoyed stunning sunsets from the living room, while the master bedroom captures beautiful sunrises. Even the everyday moments feel special-you can see the marina from the shower! And the view of the turquoise-coloured sea around the white cliffs of Saltdean from the bedroom are memorable. It’s those views, more than anything, that I know I will miss the most.
