Embassy Court is a beautiful Grade II* listed 1930s Modernist building with a distinctive L-shape with apartments facing the seafront or the side road. Our apartment directly faces the seafront right at the top of the building so the views are uninterrupted and absolutely beautiful in all seasons. The stunning foyer with curved glass windows has a historic replica of the original 1935 mural by Edward McKnight Kauffer, famed for his London Underground posters of the 1930s.
The architect, Wells Coates (who also designed the Isokon building) created the top floor of apartments as the first ever purpose-built penthouses in the UK, so the apartment has a lovely architectural significance. Wells Coates's main priority for the apartment was pleasure and making the most of the panoramic view so the private sun terrace, windows and glass doors run the entire length of the apartment giving a beautiful light and sense of openness and space.
Please note that the bedroom is very small and has restricted access to the window side of the bed, but there is nothing better than lying in bed listening to the waves and having the uninterrupted sea views pouring through the windows and patio doors. You just need to sit up in bed to look out to sea!
The apartment is walking distance to central Brighton and Hove with all its coveted shops and restaurants, and the Pier and The Lanes are only a short stroll along the seafront. There are many fantastic amenities on our doorstep including one of the best rated restaurants in Brighton, The Gingerman.
