Sussex Square, Brighton BN2

Entirely unique in its interior design and use of space, this one-bedroom apartment is a hidden gem in Sussex Square. These seafront homes are on such a scale that they can be converted into beautiful and individual apartments, creating luxurious and interesting living spaces you won’t find elsewhere. This one in particular has been carefully curated by the current owner who has a keen eye for colour and a respect for the original character of this beautiful building. It is a sight to behold from the moment you step foot through the door.

Formed within the lower ground floor of Princes Mansions on the upper section of the square, this apartment has retained the original flagstones lining the beautiful entrance hall as you step foot through the front door. Panelled walls in heritage tones below the dado rail complement the stone hues perfectly, continuing onto the architraves and internal doors.

Brilliantly designed for the space, the kitchen offers a wealth of storage in navy cabinetry paired with solid oak worktops and a Terrazzo floor. While many appliances are integrated, the washing machine and tumble dryer have a utility space below the curved wall and may be available by separate negotiation.

The living room offers a large space with homely furnishings and formal dining alongside two tall sash windows opening to the courtyard. New oak parquet flooring feels warm and stylish while Andrew Martin’s Library Books wallpaper feels in keeping with the era of the building. This sits in the alcoves around a grand fireplace which is for decoration only.

A door panel opens below the sash which, when lifted, provides easy access to the courtyard. While this is a covered space, it is a sweet summer extension of the home. Naturally light and spacious, which can also be decorated to form an attractive backdrop to the living room.

Set off the living room, the bathroom is another carefully designed space with a modern take on a period scheme. Traditional fittings and tiles have been used alongside a freestanding Victorian bath, while the walls have been left in rough plaster.
