House For Sale £3,250,000
8 Lewes Crescent is a stunning Grade I listed townhouse that sits in a prominent positon on Brighton seafront set back in a slightly elevated position with sea views. Lewes Crescent is the centre piece of the Kemp Town estate. The estate, designed to be a miniature town of 250 houses, was initiated by Thomas Read Kemp in the 1820s.
The facades of Lewes Crescent were completed by 1828, but the interiors and backs were left to be developed by the first owners. The Crescent was designed by Charles Augustin Busby, one of the leading architects of Regency Brighton. The houses are grouped in threes, each group being at a slightly different floor level to allow for the hill beneath the crescent.
The Crescent is named after Lewes because Thomas Read Kemp was born there, and became, like his father, the Lewes mp.
8 Lewes Crescent spans to a very generous 6397 sq ft and offers a plethora of living and entertaining space that spans over 5 floors. The property has a wealth of stunning original features, architraves, shutters, high ceilings and superbly proportioned rooms. The current layout provides 8 bedrooms of which two are in the lower ground floor apartment which has its own front door, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. 8a Rocks Road was purchased by the current owners to provide further adaptable living space which is currently used as an office/library, gym, bedroom and bathroom. The floorplans allow a detailed look at the layout of 8 Lewes Crescent but a viewing is highly recommended to capture the full glory of this property.
