To the rear of Lewes Crescent on Rock Grove is this beautiful interesting triplex property, it feels like a terraced house; as you have no neighbours above you, and your own front door. It is part of Lewes Crescent and so has a key to the private 6 acres of landscaped gardens. With a long lease of 900 years + and is on a self repairing lease, so you organise your own maintenance and buildings insurance, just like you do a house.

As you enter on the ground floor, you are greeted with a welcoming entrance hall with space for coats and shoes. Immediately to your left is bedroom four, or study, a wonderful option if you wanted a treatment room or a guest suite, or worked from home. Its a lovely versatile room with solid wood floors as it has a lovely large wet room en-suite and a mezzanine area. There are very high ceilings in the hallway and a wood staircase which leads up to the first floor where the main accommodation is located.

As you reach the top of the wood stairs to the first floor, there is a breath-taking moment as you appreciate the elegance of the space, with its painted wood paneling. The ceilings here are 4.5 metres high, and you can see through to the stunning reception room and the separate kitchen/breakfast room. The reception room is a fantastic room of nearly 30 square metres with two sash windows overlooking Rock Grove which are dressed with white louvred shutters. A magnificent fireplace with marble surround provides the focal point. Solid wood floors run through from the hall, to both the reception and the kitchen/breakfast room, giving continuity to the space. In the kitchen there are sleek contemporary style units, with a practical and attractive composite counter top. All the appliances are by Neff and include an integrated fridge-freezer, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, a double oven and a five burner gas hob.

Back on the landing, you will see stairs climbing to the top floor. There is a hidden door in the wood paneling under the stairs which leads to additional accommodation, the principle bedroom suite. The principle bedroom is a lovely light room with two large windows, with shutters and the same wood flooring. There is a beautifully fitted out dressing room and an ensuite bathroom with a white suite including a large bath for lazy soaks, hand basin, WC and bidet.

On the top floor are two further bedrooms and a bathroom. In the front bedroom one further surprise awaits, as you can access a private roof-terrace through the window, which is a great sun-trap in the afternoon.

A truly unique home, it is one to be viewed to appreciate the space, character and light. You can get easy access to the seafront via the private gardens and the infamous tunnel (where its believed Lewis Carrol got inspiration for Alice in Wonderland) and it’s a short walk along the promenade to the newly opened Sea Lanes outdoor pool and its amenities nearby such as the Beach Box Saunas and Bison Bar. Kemp Town High Street has a great collection of independent shops, boutiques cafes and pubs and a wonderful community.
