You have an opportunity here to be a key holder of the stunning gated private gardens that form part of the Lewes Crescent & Sussex Square Estate. Just one benefit of owning this unique & characterful top floor apartment; which offers two wash rooms and open plan living space.

If quirky character features are high on your wish list, this will not disappoint. A superb semi-vaulted ceiling feature with high level windows to all directions is directly over the main reception space. This is combined with the two north facing sash windows creating a lovely bright environment. Period features are present in abundance with angled walls and nooks, cornice detailing much more.

The bedroom and kitchen each have Velux style windows and the space is served by a bathroom from the hall and the bedroom has en-suite shower room, the perfect set up to accommodate house guests.

Set in an elevated position within a majestic Georgian terrace. The communal entrance has sea views and is opposite Kemptown Enclosures, gated & beautiful communal gardens exclusive to Lewes Crescent and Sussex Court residents. 

A well maintained communal entrance hall offers stairs rising to the upper floors, yet heading deeper into the building the lift can be found. The lift ascends to the top floor, the fifth, where arrival is to a private landing which has a rear aspect door to the external fire escape and a locked door into the accommodation.

Rob Tomlinson wrote of the immediate area in 2013:

Sussex Square and Lewes Crescent, to be found down along the seafront as you go east towards the marina. Lewes Crescent is the biggest crescent in Britain, having a diameter some two hundred feet greater than the Royal Crescent in Bath. Completed between 1827 and 1828, the crescent and square consist of 78 individual houses that are grouped around the “Kemp Town Enclosures”, private gardens for the use of the residents.
