Spanning 114 squares (approx.) with a private lift, eight-car basement, northern orientation, and 1048sqm (approx.) parcel, ‘Waterperry’ pairs old-world elegance and modern magnificence in a way where every space exudes a wellbeing ethos. Designed by industry leaders Tecture and Epiphany Homes, the estate’s inspired form, intelligent function, and overarching sophistication is nothing short of mesmerising, curating holistic design in a manner Brighton has never before seen.

Every aspect has been carefully considered, with no stone unturned pursuing a life of tranquillity and unforgettable experiences. Having passed through the seductive romanticism of its English-style garden and Victorian verandah, you’re instantly struck by a painstaking restoration of original spaces, array of luxurious finishes, attention to detail in every corner. From the rendered arches, warm oak flooring, and exquisite steel doors to the exceptional millwork and modern, artistic lighting, classic and contemporary achieve perfect harmony. The library showcases period intricacies and limed-oak cabinetry, ideal as a work and business retreat, placed opposite an elaborate formal living room offering a refined-yet-relaxed ambiance.

Created for a reset and recharge, a remarkable primary suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, a private garden courtyard, two dressing rooms with Austrian Egger cabinetry, a lavish ensuite with a striking Calacatta Viola marble shower and circular Italian stone bath, and separate Marmorino/Taj Mahal Quartzite vanity/makeup area. Equally opulent with a walk- in robe and ensuite, a ground-level guest room is complemented by top-floor accommodation in third and fourth bedrooms, a fifth bedroom/office, rear rumpus room, and northern terrace joined by walk-in/built-in robes, two elegant ensuites, and a chic central bathroom.

Passing through the steel-arched door at hallway’s end, you reach a vast bar/dining/living/kitchen space that embraces natural, beauty, calm, and balance with its statement Stella Rossa Quartzite, soothing woods, sublime alabaster, and earthy Marmorino/metallic finishes. Stunning Taj Mahal Quartzite benches and splashbacks, a sculptural Marmorino rangehood, Buster & Punch brass hardware, and solid oak doors/drawer fronts contribute to the symmetry of a sensational kitchen, hiding a dream butler’s pantry with a walk-in cool room, German Bora cooktop/extractor system, and appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero. With effortless flow, a breathtaking alfresco area reveals classic architecture meeting contemporary luxe.

Premium, elongated, and handmade Krause bricks, artisan-sculpted arches, and blackbutt panels are employed to form a cutting-edge take on the timeless Italian loggia, while a north-facing pool and spa, garden hospitality domain, gym/pool house, and steam/shower/aromatherapy room advance the wellness and happiness ethos at Waterperry’s heart.

Augmented by three-phase power, EV fast charging, and solar energy with a Tesla battery, under-floor and towel-rail heating, a laundry with drying room, basement wine cellar and storeroom, and gentle driveway gradient for low-set prestige cars, position is simply extraordinary with The Baths, Yacht Club, and Middle Brighton Beach, Brighton and Firbank Grammar, and ever-vibrant Church Street all mere steps away.
