Description
With glorious holiday views over a beach with a Lido to the open sea this magnificent, 2 bedroom coastal penthouse is at the top of the exclusive, Grade II listed House on Kemptown’s historic seafront. Set well back from the coast road opposite the Dolphin lift and the beach which also has a Yoga centre, volleyball courts and bistro bars, this luxury home or high end investment is just a 15-20 minute stroll along the promenade to the picturesque Lanes or vibrant Marina, with Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London about 7-10 minutes by cab. A rare find, elegant rooms blend classical beauty with fabulous, contemporary design to deliver a fantasy lifestyle. The vaulted reception has glorious proportions and twin windows so large you can enjoy the picture perfect vista even when seated, and a large hatch ensures the glamorous kitchen breakfast room also enjoys the view. Quiet and comfortable, the first of the bedrooms is perfect for guests as it is tucked away by the luxury bathroom. Through an archway, the private, principal bedroom is exceptionally restful with views over a large garden and a chic en-suite shower room.
With the fashionable, al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown Village which hosts both the County Hospital and Brighton College around the corner, bus routes take you into or out of the city if you don’t want to walk and now is the time to buy with substantial improvements taking place along the seafront.

Why you’ll like it:
Kemptown Village is a sought after area of our fabulous coastal metropolis with a relaxed, unpretentious vibe and all the local amenities you need. On the seafront and between the Pier and Marina, you are tucked away from the tourists in an exclusive, private terrace where properties do not come onto the market often, and sell fast. The imposing entrance is secure and the communal hallway is hushed and well- kept with a fine example of a Regency staircase (now sensor-lit) rising to this fabulous penthouse apartment.
Inside, the light and inviting hall is lined with windows and runs from front to back of this substantial building so there’s a great sense of space. Ahead, past steps to the rooftop fire escape (with some of the best views in Brighton) the sun-filled living dining room has twin windows which stretch almost from floor to ceiling across the south side of this magnificent building to frame the sea, the sky and mesmerising views by day or by night stretching from the Marina in the east to Brighton’s glittering pier. Completely private, plantation shutters are in place to shield the room from the heat in high summer. With a fusion of Regency grace and a spectacular seascape you can enjoy even when seated, this is a unique space to enjoy with high grade oak flooring, a vaulted ceiling, ambient lighting and a marble fireplace.
Ideal for every day but also for entertaining, there is a large opening to the high-spec kitchen breakfast room to ensure it shares those astonishing views. A timeless classic with a designer finish and a large window at the back with a period, wrought iron window box for herbs, this sociable kitchen flows around a broad island with a wine cooler which seats 4-6 people. Matt grey units deliver sophisticated storage whilst quartz surfaces look wonderful but are also practical. A gift for gourmets, integrated appliances include an AEG touch induction hob and twin AEG ovens beneath a lit hood, a tall fridge and separate freezer, and there is also a discreet wine rack.
Along the hallway, the guest bedroom is a quiet, comfortable double facing east for the morning light. Simple but stylish with plenty of character, it is ready to move into. Next door, the luxury bathroom is large enough for both a double ended bath -with pillows- beneath a window as well as a separate walk in shower with on trend dual headed shower fittings. The circular hand basin is mounted on a marble stand and there’s a warming rail for towels.
At the end of the hall, a door closes off the principal bedroom so it is completely private within the apartment as well as from outside – as with beautiful views over gardens it is not directly overlooked. With the restful proportions only Regency buildings deliver, this romantic room is blissfully quiet with space for a whole wall of wardrobes and an en-suite shower room where the attention to detail continues in the chic, high end fittings.
Agent Says:
“Opposite the beach, Lido and yoga centre, this is a hot spot in the city just a walk into the historic heart but tucked away from tourists. This area is exclusive and homes in this beautiful building simply do not appear on the market often.”
Owner’s secret:
“Rokesley House is a particularly beautiful Grade II listed Regency building in a prime location opposite a fashionable beach with waterfront amenities. Inside, all of the rooms are light and inviting and the stunning views, both front and back, also make it unusually private. The Village is a wonderful place to live or to visit as you can spend time on the beach, enjoy the fresh local produce on offer, explore the local cafés and restaurants or walk into Brighton’s cultural heart which clusters around the Royal Pavilion – about a 10-15 min walk. If you love the sea, the Marina is also a short walk and if you love the countryside, the Downs surround our city.”

In a great location opposite a beach with cafés, volleyball courts and our new Lido, the Royal Pavilion, arts venues and Lanes of central Brighton are all within a 15-20 minute scenic stroll along the seafront or past the lively bars and restaurants of St James’ Street (which hosts Pride) too! Kemptown has plenty of small supermarkets, pharmacies and post offices as well as an al fresco lifestyle and it hosts the hospitals, Amex and good schools including Brighton College. Buses serve the whole of the city of Brighton & Hove, and the proximity to Brighton train station with its fast link to Gatwick and London makes commuting possible. For those who need a car, both the A23/27 and coast road are easy to reach.
