Sitting sky high on the 23rd floor of Sussex Heights, this exceptional apartment has the best vantage point in the whole city. Famously the tallest building on the South Coast, and a well-recognised part of Brighton’s topography, Sussex Heights stands twenty-four storeys tall, and is fine example of 1960s architecture. The building has has had a façade restoration in 2021/2022 costing a seven figure sum which was paid for out of the Building sinking fund. Maintenance is planned every 2-3 years to keep the building in top condition. Inside, the apartment has been renovated to a very high standard, with generously proportioned rooms filled with natural light due to ample glazing running along its easterly elevation. With two sizable bedrooms and space to entertain in style, this apartment will impress your guests who will be awestruck by the incredible panoramic views over the city from the South Downs National Park to the sea.
The additional benefits of a resident caretaker add to the security and prestige of the building, so will appeal to professional sharers, investors and those looking for a lock-up and leave or second home within the city. Being so perfectly located for the shops, restaurants, bars, beach and Brighton Station, it is sure to be coveted by many.

Designed by Richard Seifert and built between 1966 and 1968, Sussex Heights is acknowledged as an "imposing and prestigious" luxury apartment block, holding an incredibly central position just moments from the thriving city centre and beach.
Upon key fob entry, you are greeted by the concierge within the glamorous lobby, where two tall lifts await to whisk you up to the twenty-third floor in mere seconds. Clearly numbered along the corridor, your door opens to a generous hallway where it is immediately apparent the apartment has been renovated and modernised to an exceptional standard. Natural light streams into the hallway from the kitchen ahead which ends in a glamourous sunroom providing panoramic, breath-taking views over the city and sea to the east. These remarkable sea, land and skyscapes can be viewed from both bedrooms and the living room, and they are ever-changing with the seasons.
The original parquet flooring has been retained within the generous living room which leads directly out to the balcony, almost doubling the entertaining and dining space during the summer. Strengthened glass balustrades ensure your view is not concealed and faux grass outside gives the feel of a lawn below your feet during the warmer weather. Inside, there is ample space for comfortable furnishings and formal dining, plus a work space if needed.
Being so incredibly elevated above the city, you look out to a vast expanse of sea and sky which blends into the urban landscape of church spiers and chimney stacks before melting away into the patchwork hills of the South Downs. At night, the city sparkles below you, so this view will never tire, forming a dramatic backdrop to the apartment at all times of day and night.
Next door, the kitchen has been renovated using streamlined and contemporary fixtures and fittings to include solid oak worktops and buttermilk cream handle-free cabinets holding a plethora of storage solutions amongst integrated appliances, so you can move straight in with relative ease. At the far end, you can enjoy the views over coffee and breakfast in the morning sunshine and spill out to the balcony during summer.
Along the hall you pass cupboards with space for household items and coats to ensure this immaculate home remains clutter free, then peacefully positioned at the far end of the apartment, away from the main living areas, are the luxurious bedrooms and bathroom.
While the bathroom is the only internal room without the view, it has soothing lighting and modern sanitaryware in white paired with natural stone wall tiles. There is a shower above the bath, a wall mounted mirrored cabinet and a tall heated rail for towels.
Both bedrooms are glamorous doubles sharing the same incredible aspect as the living room, so the views are a joy to wake up to each morning. The principal room has a mirrored wall of wardrobes which bounces the light around further while maximising the sense of space, while bedroom two has a double built-in wardrobe and space for a freestanding chest of drawers alongside a double bed.<br /><br />This generous apartment is beautifully situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Brighton Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
