Description
Introduction: - Inside, this apartment is designed to entertain. The large hallway is used as a traditional dining hall with original stain glass windows and a guest w.c. tucked away, the modern kitchen is separate and spacious, and ideal for visitors, the first of the double bedrooms is quiet with a shower room next door. Upstairs, both the elegant reception and the second bedroom have stunning views over the gardens to the sea whilst private at the back of the building, the principal bedroom is ready to move into. Perfect for professionals and families as all 3 bedrooms are doubles and none share a wall with another, the County Hospital, Brighton College and Amex are all a short walk and East Brighton Park with sports facilities and country walks are also just minutes away. The area is also surrounded by green spaces which hold events during our festivals and St James’s Street (on the Pride route) is also easy to reach.
Built by Thomas Cubitt for Thomas Kemp between 1823-1827 as Belgravia by the Sea, Grade I listed Lewes Crescent is one of the of the UK’s most significant Regency landmarks and is one of only a few in the city which have private, south and sea facing gardens for the exclusive use of the residents for a reasonable annual fee.
This grand, historic building has been sympathetically made secure and inside mahogany doors open to a large communal hall with a marble floor and the original staircase which rises to this apartment on the second floor.
Inside, the dining hall is inviting with coloured leaded windows and herringbone parquet flooring. There is plenty of space for a dining table, a guest w.c. is tucked away, and there’s a cupboard for coats and bags. Out of sight of the dining area, the kitchen is bright and well planned with a flowing layout and sensible working surfaces and integrated appliances include an electric hob and oven.
At the far end of the apartment, the guest room is a comfortable double with a fitted wardrobe on one side of a period style fireplace, and looking across a quiet street at the back, it is not directly overlooked. Next door, a light and airy shower room also has plumbing for a utility machine
Broad steps from the dining hall lead to the second floor where the view from the twin windows of the magnificent living room is mesmerizing. Inside has restful Regency proportions and classic wood floor, and there is an original marble fireplace.
Next door, the second double bedroom plenty of space for a double bed as well as quiet study, and the vista sweeping over the gardens to the sea is inspiring. Peaceful at the back, the principal bedroom is calm and comfortable with a leaded window and discreet hand basin.

Vendors Comments: - “We fell in love with the beautiful buildings, the gardens and the sea views. All of the rooms are light and spacious, and we are also very quiet and private. We love being by the sea and the crescent is surrounded by restaurants, cafes and bars in all directions – and you can be car free with buses running along the coast and Eastern Road to the Marina, National Park and city centre, and Brighton Station’s only about 7-10 minutes in a cab, which is ideal.”
