20 A Black Street, Brighton

A landmark expression of contemporary bayside luxury, this exceptional four‑bedroom residence forms part of an exclusive collection of just four apartments designed by acclaimed Merrylees Architecture & Interiors. Completed in 2023 and fully owner‑occupied, the building has quickly become one of Brighton’s most admired contemporary addresses.

Positioned on the prestigious corner of Black and Carpenter Streets, moments from Church Street’s celebrated cafés, boutiques and restaurants, the development presents a sculptural curved façade, cascading greenery and a refined coastal aesthetic that delivers both presence and timeless appeal. Landscaped surrounds by renowned designer Jack Merlo further enhance the sense of privacy, tranquillity and connection to its vibrant bayside setting.

Inside, the residence showcases generous proportions, sophisticated finishes and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Expansive glazing, elegant architectural curves and carefully considered details create a home of exceptional comfort and enduring style.

Every bedroom enjoys its own private ensuite, offering boutique‑hotel luxury for family and guests. The master suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a spa‑like ensuite with marble benchtops, double sinks, recessed lighting, a deep soaking bath, and indulgent underfloor heating. A striking marble‑clad powder room adds further refinement.

Natural light fills the home, complemented by garden views throughout, oak flooring in the living zones and sumptuous wool carpets in the bedrooms. At the end of the wide hallway, a light‑filled study provides an ideal work‑from‑home retreat.

The designer kitchen is appointed with limestone benchtops and a full suite of Miele appliances, continuing into the butler’s pantry, where a second fridge, additional dishwasher and extensive storage support effortless entertaining. Large sliding doors open from the main living space to the pool terrace, where a built‑in BBQ and heated pool and spa create a relaxed, resort‑style environment for year‑round enjoyment. Comfort is assured with Daikin climate control in every room and a gas fireplace in the main living area.

A sculptural curved staircase leads to the lower level, revealing a private gym and games room, enclosed with steel and glass doors to contain sound without compromising style. A lift provides an elegant alternative for movement between floors.

Moments from Brighton Beach, elite schools, transport and the lifestyle attractions of Church Street, this residence represents apartment living at its finest-a rare opportunity to secure a home within one of Brighton’s most prestigious and tightly held architectural offerings.
