Bijou and beautiful, this superb one-bedroom flat is a hidden gem in Sussex Square. It resides on the third floor of an elegant Regency townhouse at one of the city’s most prestigious addresses, just moments from the beach and Kemptown amenities, and looks out over private communal gardens to which flat owners have a key.
This property sits within the central portion of the square, looking out over communal gardens to the sea. Upon entry to the communal hallways, the true scale and beauty of the building becomes apparent with a staircase sweeping up through the floors to an atrium light and window, creating a spectacle to return home to each day. Stepping into the apartment, there is a useful WC to the left and a vast cupboard to the right with space for coats, shoes and household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.
The eye is drawn directly to the living room ahead where two casement windows face west, looking out over historic rooftops, chimneys and church spiers below open skies. This aspect allows warming light to bathe the room during the afternoon and early evening when the sunsets are exceptional. Inside, there is ample space for relaxed furnishings and for formal dining alongside the adjoining kitchen.
Well-designed for the space, the kitchen provides a wealth of storage in white cabinets, fitted with an integrated oven and hob. The dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer are freestanding and are included in the sale.
Sharing the same sunny aspect as the living room, the bedroom is double with a wall of wardrobes to maximise the floor space. The views are a joy to wake up to and elevated so high above the city ensures a peaceful night’s sleep. The shower room is en suite, while the WC is separate, ideal for guests. White tiles sit around a roomy shower cubicle with an electric shower so you can guarantee hot water in an instant.
Vendor’s Comments:
“The flat sits in a hugely popular location for professionals and hospital workers. I have left it as a blank canvas for the next owners, so there remains some scope to put your own stamp on the place or add value.”

Good to Know:
19th Century developer Thomas Kemp commissioned architect Amon Wilds and his building partner Charles Busby to design and build Sussex Square between 1823 and 1830. Inspired by the Nash developments in London, these magnificent homes offer some of the finest examples of Georgian architecture bearing Doric or Ionic porches and ironwork balconies, and every third house has pilasters, most of which have Corinthian capitals.
Sussex Square sits adjacent to the beach and is just a stroll from the fashionable Kemp Town Village which hosts the hospital and good schools including the award- winning Brighton College. The Marina is a few minutes away with a myriad of restaurants to choose from as well as cinemas, a health club and a glamorous casino. The law courts and Amex are also nearby and the South Downs, a park and 72 par golf course are just a short walk. It is also close to several bus routes serving the city centre, coast and Brighton Station, with its fast links to Gatwick and London and for those who need to commute by car, the A23 and A27 are both readily accessible- and there's no waiting list for permit zone H.
