St Margarets Place, Brighton, BN1

Loved by the same family for over 40 years, this exceptional four bedroom penthouse crowns one of Brighton’s most iconic and sought after residential buildings. Designed by renowned architect Richard Seifert, who had previously held the title of tallest building in London with Tower 42 (commonly known as the NatWest Tower) until 2010, Sussex Heights, the tallest structure on the South Coast, is a striking example of 1960s modernist architecture, seamlessly integrated into the city's renowned skyline.
Spanning the entire 25th floor and accessed via a passenger lift to the 24th, this extraordinary residence boasts a truly spectacular footprint, offering an abundance of light-filled space framed by panoramic coastal, city and South Down vistas. A South facing balcony embraces uninterrupted views across the city, sea and the far reaching cliff views to the East and coastline to the West.
A welcoming hallway with plenty of in built storage as well as a charming window seat tucked to the back allows for light and a calm corner to watch the bustle of the town below. Above, the double height ceiling staircase takes you to a large open hallway.
The vast sitting room (33ft x 23ft) is a breathtaking space, where floor-to-ceiling glazing captures the ever-changing seascape, creating an unrivalled sense of openness and serenity. To the west, the elegant dining room and contemporary kitchen/breakfast room provide a refined setting for entertaining, with expansive views extending over Hove’s rooftops towards the Sussex countryside.
A spacious inner hallway leads to the bedroom suites, where three of the four bedrooms benefit from beautifully appointed ensuite bathrooms, complemented by a further luxurious family bathroom. Ample storage solutions further enhance the practicality of this remarkable lateral apartment.
A truly rare offering, this penthouse presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire one of Brighton’s most distinguished residences, where breathtaking design and unparalleled views combine to create an extraordinary coastal retreat.
Residents benefit from the services of a dedicated Caretaker accessible via the lobby reception desk. Operating on weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm and Saturday mornings from 7 am to 11 pm, the Caretaker ensures that your refuse is collected daily from your door (Monday to Saturday).
Located in the very heart of Brighton, in a very private and quiet spot moments from the seafront and just around the corner from the bustling and vibrant shops, bars and restaurants of the Lanes and the city centre, the theatres, gardens and Royal Pavilion are all nearby, while the beach and seafront are at the bottom of the road.

A leisurely stroll along the promenade stretches all the way from Brighton Marina to Hove Lagoon, taking in both West and Palace Pier, the i360 and the historic ‘birdcage’ bandstand.
