The Location Sussex Square in Kemptown is a location steeped in local history and prestige, distinguished by its Regency architectural design and ideal proximity to Brighton seafront and the city centre. Forming part of Thomas Read Kemp’s (1782-1844) vision for the luxurious estate of ‘Kemp Town’, Sussex Square was built between 1823-1827 by the renowned architect Amon Wilds and designed by Charles Busby. With distinctive Doric or Ionic porches, and ironwork balconies, the ornate design of the Square’s houses boast an elegant and eye-catching aesthetic. Subsequently, Sussex Square became an illustrious address favoured by nobility and celebrated intellectuals including Lewis Caroll, the author of the beloved Alice in Wonderland books. Having its own private gardens (with a tunnel granting direct access to the beach) and Grade I listed status, today Sussex Square upholds its reputation as a greatly desired residence within Brighton and Hove. Kemptown offers vibrant culture and fresh air in abundance with the seafront just a short stroll away. Within Kemptown Village and heading towards St James’s Street there are a variety of quirky boutiques, restaurants, cafés and pubs before leading to Brighton city centre and the North Laine. Transport links include good access to the A259 and A27 road networks and accessible bus services extend across Brighton & Hove. The location affords excellent proximity to several distinguished schools, such as Brighton College (named Independent School of the Year 2019) and Roedean School.
