Designed by Richard Seifert and built between 1966 and 1968, Sussex Heights is acknowledged as an "imposing and prestigious" luxury apartment building, holding an incredibly central position just moments from the thriving city centre and beach.

Upon key fob entry, you are greeted by the concierge within the glamorous lobby, where two tall lifts await to whisk you up to the eleventh floor in mere seconds. Clearly numbered along the corridor, your door opens to a generous hallway where it is immediately apparent the apartment naturally light and incredibly spacious. Natural light streams into the hallway from the kitchen ahead which looks out to the sunroom providing panoramic, breath-taking views over the city and sea to the east. These remarkable sea, land and skyscapes can be viewed from both bedrooms and the living room, and they are ever-changing with the seasons.

Within the living room there is ample space for large and comfortable furnishings, plus a dining table and chairs which can sit either inside or within the sunroom to appreciate the exceptional views. It is incredibly peaceful elevated about the hubbub of the city, so this could also be a space for reading, exercise or quiet reflection.

Here, up above the city, you look out to a vast expanse of sea and sky which blends into the urban landscape of church spiers and chimney stacks before melting away into the hills of the South Downs. At night, the city sparkles below you, so this view will never tire, forming a dramatic backdrop to the apartment at all times of day and night.

Next door, the kitchen has been simply modernised with white units and practical laminate worktops. The appliances are fully integrated so you can move in with relative ease, but it may also be worth considering further modernisations which would certainly add value in this prestigious building.

Along the hall you pass cupboards with space for household items and coats to ensure this immaculate home remains clutter free, then peacefully positioned at the far end of the apartment, away from the main living areas, are two double bedrooms and bathroom with separate WC.

While the bathroom is the only internal room without the view, it has soothing lighting and modern sanitaryware in white paired with natural stone effect wall tiles. There is a shower above the bath, a wall mounted mirrored cabinet and a tall, heated rail for towels. As with the kitchen, it would be possible to add value in here with further modernisations – potentially linking through to the WC to increase the space.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles sharing the same incredible aspect as the living room, so the views are a joy to wake up to each morning. The principal room has a wall of built-in wardrobes which maximise the sense of space, while bedroom two has ample room for freestanding pieces.

There is a resident Caretaker and a Concierge who are contactable via the reception desk in the lobby. This is open Monday to Friday from 8am until 6pm and Saturday mornings from 8am until 12pm. The Caretaker holds details of mail and parcel delivery, cleaning, ironing and many more services, and ensures your refuse is collected from your door daily (Mon-Sat)

This generous apartment is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Brighton Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
