Sussex Square, Brighton, East Sussex BN2
previous price £920,000

This jaw-dropping apartment is rather different from the rest, starting with private front patio, three tanked and lined under-pavement vaults, surprisingly high ceilings, enormous vaulted master bedroom suite with 20-foot ceilings and a further internal courtyard. Set within a glorious Grade i-listed building, it comes with all the usual benefits of the favoured Sussex Square location with its historic gated garden enclosures and tunnel direct to the beach.

Care and attention has been lavished upon what is already an extraordinary property, making it a fantastically successful home at the same time. Natural daylight perfuses the whole space front to back, to a surprising extent for a property on this level. There are three bedrooms, although the current configuration uses the smallest bedroom as a second sitting room, and two en-suite bathrooms with an additional separate guest toilet. The master bedrooms is the piece de resistance, with its extraordinary proportions, feature exposed brickwork arch and enormous skylight.

The three front vaults are currently designated as a music room (internal access), treatment room and storage room (both external access). The back internal vault is used as a dressing room and works well as additional storage.

This property is certainly special and has several really quite extraordinary features, which are difficult to glean from the photographs. As a result we would highly recommend viewing in person as the proportions dimensions and character are so much more impressive than is apparent from the brochure.

Situation

Historic Sussex Square is one of Brighton & Hove's most prominent and prestigious addresses. The gated garden enclosures cover around three acres and feature a tunnel under the coast road, allowing access direct to the beach. Lewis Carroll is said to have found inspiration for his "Alice" stories from the gardens.

Kemp Town village is just 0.7 miles distant with its vibrant high street, various pubs and cafes, plentiful independent shops and all the necessary amenities, whilst Brighton city centre is under two miles away with very easy transportation links.
