Overview
Occupying the second floor of an elegant Regency townhouse within Lewes Crescent — part of the celebrated Sussex Square and Lewes Crescent estate in Kemp Town — this substantial apartment extends to approximately 1,700 sq ft and combines period grandeur with genuinely versatile family accommodation. The building is served by a lift to all floors.
A private entrance leads to a welcoming reception hall, from which the principal rooms open. The sitting room and separate dining room both enjoy sea views over the crescent’s private communal gardens. The well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room completes the main reception space.
There are four bedrooms in total, including a generous principal bedroom, plus a versatile dressing room currently used as a fourth bedroom/study. Three bathrooms serve the apartment, including a separate cloakroom off the reception hall.
The apartment is currently being freshly redecorated throughout, with new carpets being fitted, and is offered with a share of the freehold alongside its own leasehold, together with an underground parking space.
Lewes Crescent and neighbouring Sussex Square form one of the finest examples of Regency architecture in the country, arranged around private gardens that run down towards the seafront. Residents enjoy exclusive access to these gardens, with a private tunnel leading straight down to the beach, while Kemp Town Village and Brighton Marina are both within easy, level walking distance.

The Area
A Regency Landmark
Lewes Crescent and neighbouring Sussex Square were built in the 1820s and 1830s as part of the ambitious Kemp Town Estate, one of the country’s finest examples of Regency town planning. Arranged around private communal gardens in the tradition of London’s garden squares, the development gave Brighton some of its most striking sea-facing architecture — sweeping curved terraces, wrought-iron balconies and classical porticoed entrances that remain Grade I listed today.
Almost two centuries on, the crescent is still defined by that original vision: generous proportions, a strong sense of address, and a private, garden-lined setting just a short stroll from the seafront.
Kemp Town & the Seafront
Immediately in front of the crescent, the private communal gardens run down toward Marine Parade, with a pedestrian tunnel giving residents direct access to the beach below — a rare and much-loved feature of this stretch of coastline. To the east, Black Rock and Brighton Marina bring restaurants, a cinema, watersports and the Yellowave beach sports venue, while the independent shops, cafés and restaurants of Kemp Town Village are just a few minutes’ walk inland.
Central Brighton — with its wider shopping, dining and mainline rail connections to London — is a short bus or taxi ride away, making Lewes Crescent a rare combination of quiet, private setting and genuine convenience.
