Designed for those who appreciate quality over quantity, every finish, material and proportion has been thoughtfully considered to deliver timeless elegance rather than fleeting trends. Positioned on the corner of two quiet, tree-lined streets, you can leave the car behind and walk to your morning coffee, meet friends for lunch along Church Street, or catch the train from Middle Brighton station within moments.

A dedicated laundry with Miele washer and dryer sits discreetly behind.
