This bright split level apartment is set on the ground and first floor of a Grade II-listed former boarding school designed by British architect Thomas Simpson. The sought-after building was the subject of a comprehensive transformation by Philippe Starck, who thoughtfully reimagined the interiors as 23 contemporary and open-plan apartments. With generous proportions and a wealth of original features there is access to the well-maintained communal gardens that play a key role in fostering a strong sense of community among the residents. The house is within a short walk of both Brighton's city centre and its cheery beachfront.
