1 Bedroom Apartment

Full of personality and architectural charm, this beautifully presented one-bedroom apartment stands out as something truly special within Sussex Square.

Formed from one of the area’s impressive seafront buildings, it demonstrates just how successfully these grand period homes can be reimagined into distinctive, high-quality apartments with a sense of scale and individuality that is rarely replicated. The current owner has approached the interiors with creativity and sensitivity, enhancing the building’s original character while introducing confident colour and bespoke detailing throughout.

Located on the lower ground floor of Princes Mansions, on the upper terrace of the square, the apartment welcomes you through an atmospheric entrance hall where original flagstones set the tone. Traditional panelling beneath the dado rail has been painted in rich heritage shades, complementing the natural stone and continuing cohesively across the architraves and internal doors.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully planned to maximise storage and usability without compromising on style. Deep navy units are paired with solid oak worktops and a terrazzo floor, creating a smart yet characterful finish. Integrated appliances maintain clean lines, while a cleverly arranged utility area tucked beneath a curved wall houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, available by separate negotiation.

The living room is both generous and inviting, easily accommodating seating and a formal dining area. Two tall sash windows open onto the courtyard, drawing in natural light and enhancing the sense of space. Oak parquet flooring brings warmth underfoot and the property benefits from a grand fireplace, reinforcing the apartment’s period pedigree.

A discreet hatch beneath one of the sash windows lifts to provide access to the covered courtyard. This charming outdoor area works wonderfully as a sheltered summer extension of the living space and offers an attractive outlook year-round.

The bathroom, accessed from the living room, has been recently renovated with a careful balance of tradition and modern refinement. Soft blush walls, classic tiling and a Victorian-style freestanding bath sit alongside a WC and basin, complemented by a contemporary Italian shower. Traditional-style lighting with dimmer controls completes the space, creating a calm and beautifully considered setting for everyday comfort.
