Grade I listed penthouse, sea views 3 double beds, 3 bathrooms (2 en-suite) Garage Award winning re-invention, private lift Rare 93m2 roof terrace Exclusive Regency Garden Square Gardens for residents, tunnel to beach Council Tax Band EConceived by Thomas Kemp and built by Thomas Cubitt, Grade I listed Sussex Square is one of the finest Regency developments within the UK. This magnificent building, designated as one of significant heritage , was home to Thomas Kemp from 1827-1837. Originally sold as facades only to allow the purchaser to design the space and layout to suit their own tastes, in 2011 the developers reduced the building to its fa?ade once again to construct 6 luxury apartments for a sophisticated, contemporary lifestyle. Inside the statuesque entrance, with a fabulous wow factor, the lift has a security code for the penthouse and rises into its entrance hall.Living Dining Room and KitchenAstonishing views sweep across a sea of green to the English Channel from the stunning open living dining room and kitchen which has Lutron lighting (throughout the whole apartment) and sleek oak flooring underfoot. On the top floor, this south facing room is also completely private, quiet and comfortable, with a living flame gas fire within a marble fireplace. In its own space the high-spec kitchen is sociable but does not encroach into the rest of the room, and streamlined units with stone surfaces deliver ample storage. Integrated appliances include a Siemens 5 ring induction hob beneath a hood, twin ovens, a Quooker tap and a dishwasher, and the fridge freezer, which will stay, dispenses filtered water.Leading to one of the largest roof terraces in the square, a sun-filled area offers versatile options including being used as a private eyrie from which to work from home by day and a cocktail bar at night.The Roof TerraceWith unique, panoramic views to open countryside over a distant cityscape which comes alive at night, this sunny roof terrace has 93m2 in which to unwind or entertain. Not overlooked, it has the light all day and into the evening. Hardwood decking is underfoot, three walls have power points for music and chilled champagne, and there is also a water source. If you look to the apartment, the sea is framed by the living room windows.Two Guest Bedrooms, Cloakroom, Utility & BathroomIn the skilful extension on the entrance level, the bedrooms are quietly away from the entertaining area above. In keeping with the generous period proportions of the Regency building, gleaming walnut doors rise to an impressive 2.6m. There is a smart guest cloakroom and the spacious utility room has plumbing for two machines -and two boilers as the heating on the two floors is separated.The first of the big, inviting double bedrooms is stylish with calm decoration and like the rest of this fantastic apartment, is wired for sound. Peaceful at the back, the luxury guest suite is not directly overlooked as it has open views. The glamorous bathroom becomes en suite by closing the door of the inner lobby to the hall and has underfloor heating, steam proofed mirrored cabinets and a contemporary, drench head shower above the bath.The Principal SuiteLive the dream in this glorious principal bedroom where you can rest in complete seclusion. Custom made wardrobes line the dressing area to deliver sophisticated storage, and large enough for both a deep bath and a wet room style shower, the en- suite has a designer finish which includes a t.v at the end of the bath, underfloor heat and steam free mirrors.Owner's secret The square is just so restful to return to and we have enjoyed being sociable in the gated gardens (there s a reasonable annual charge,) but also being able to entertain privately on the roof terrace. We have absolutely loved living here and enjoy both the mix of old and new in the apartment and the views of the sea and the countryside reminding us to go out and enjoy them. We have had great fun spending time in Brighton where there is so much to do whatever your mood, and local amenities include a High Street, our favourite caf? and deli Marmalade and a fantastic Lido and sauna on the nearby beach.
