Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Sussex Square, this apartment occupies the ground and lower ground floors of a stunning Georgian townhouse. Full of charming period features and recently renovated, it offers a rare blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort.
The entrance to the building features elegant tiled flooring and a grand communal hallway, complete with a sweeping staircase lit by a restored bell lantern and chandelier. The apartment’s double folding doors make a stylish first impression, opening into a space filled with character and sophistication.
At the front of the apartment, the bright and airy living room stands out, with nearly floor-to-ceiling sash windows that allow sunlight to flood the space throughout the day. Restored timber shutters provide privacy in the evening. The room boasts high ceilings, detailed moldings, antique oak flooring, and a grand open fireplace.
A long hallway runs through the apartment, featuring wall panelling and built-in storage for books and ornaments. A quiet home office with shelving offers the perfect spot for working remotely. Next door, a stylish WC features an ornate stained glass window. At the end of the hallway, a sleek, modern kitchen provides plenty of storage, integrated Miele appliances, and space for a washing machine.
Heading downstairs, the lower ground floor continues to showcase period charm. The spacious main bedroom at the front has large sash windows that bring in natural light, along with deep built-in wardrobes for storage. A second bedroom is positioned near the lightwell, which brightens the corridor with natural daylight. The luxurious bathroom is finished with Carrara marble-effect tiles and features a freestanding double slipper bath and a walk-in rainfall shower.
Outside, a shared courtyard at the front of the house offers additional storage. Residents also have access to the stunning private gardens of Kemptown Enclosures, which span 7.5 acres. These gardens, originally designed in 1828, are now maintained by the homeowners of the Kemptown Estate. A tunnel leading from the gardens to the esplanade, built around 1830, is said to have inspired the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland.
This unique property beautifully blends history, elegance, and modern living, making it a truly special home.
