An elegant, exceptionally spacious three-bedroom upper maisonette occupying an easterly curve of Lewes Crescent, offering uninterrupted sea views across the private Kemp Town Enclosures. The apartment spans three floors with high ceilings, large sash windows and many original period features retained, including fireplaces and cornicing that amplify the sense of scale and light. An east-facing roof terrace and a top-floor sunroom provide private outside space and superb skyscape views.
This is a family-sized seafront home in a prestigious, well-connected location: Kemp Town Village amenities, excellent schools (including Brighton College) and direct pedestrian access to the beach via the Enclosures’ tunnel. Practical points include a long lease (139 years), mains gas central heating, secondary glazing and easy parking under Zone H, which currently has no waiting list.
Important considerations are factual: the building is Grade II listed, which constrains change and can make works more complex and costly. Service charges are above average at circa £6,000 per year. The property’s older solid-brick fabric means insulation is limited, and the historical facade shows minor weathering; some renewal or ongoing maintenance may be required. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow — relevant for home-working users despite excellent mobile signal.
Overall this is a rare, large seafront maisonette that will appeal to families seeking a characterful, light-filled home with direct garden and beach access. Buyers should be comfortable with listed-building ownership, associated upkeep and service costs, and the potential need for targeted fabric improvements.
