This exceptional four-storey townhouse forms part of the celebrated conversion of the old Maynards Sweet Factory, designed by the renowned London-based architects John Kerr Associates. Originally constructed around 1900, this striking red-brick industrial building was converted in 2002 into just seven bespoke homes, carefully retaining its historic character with exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings and a dramatic sense of light and space.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across four levels, with versatile living areas and refined finishes throughout. The ground floor provides a spacious entrance hall and sitting room, with flexibility to enclose part of the space as an additional bedroom if required. On the first floor are two bedrooms, separate shower room and en-suite bathroom both designed by Circus Studios and fully refurbished in 2024 to an exceptional specification.

The second floor showcases an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, bathed in natural light and featuring exposed brickwork and high ceilings. On the top floor, a mezzanine-style sitting room leads to a spectacular roof terrace accessed through full-length bifold doors, offering panoramic views across Brighton, Hove and the sea.

Externally, the private rear garden has been newly landscaped (2023) into a tropical retreat, with tiled flooring, mature planting and a versatile garden studio with power and direct cabling to the second-floor router for high-speed WiFi. Lutron lighting has been installed throughout the property, enhancing the sense of contemporary luxury.

This is a rare chance to secure a home of outstanding architectural pedigree, blending historic character, contemporary design and coastal living in one remarkable address.
