With its distinctive black glazed mathematical tiles and canted bay windows, Royal Crescent was built at the turn of the 18th into the 19th century. Situated in a favoured mid position, this striking town house is reassuringly elegant, all rooms being generously proportioned with high ceilings and large windows for optimal natural light, while original features of architraves, decorative ceiling cornices and solid oak flooring ooze this home’s historic past.
Set over five floors with four bedrooms, an office and a lower ground, self-contained apartment with potential for rental income, the property sits slightly back from the seafront road. The Crescent benefits from a private gated garden to the front and residents parking. With such a superb sea front location this home offers coastal living with amongst the very best sea views in Brighton.
