House For Sale £625,000
Design-led from the well-presented frontage to the private sun trap garden at the back, this four-bedroom Victorian house is tucked away on a quiet cul de sac in a sought-after area. It's close to the sea and the expansive East Brighton Park leading to the Downs, as well as the County Hospital and a choice of popular schools. With a cheerful east/west orientation, sunlight streams through this classic beauty which blends period detail with a contemporary finish. On the ground floor, the spacious reception is a cosy retreat with a woodburning stove, next door to a bright and airy room that's currently used as a home office. On the lower ground floor, a streamlined kitchen diner that's perfect for entertaining opens to the architecturally designed garden, made private by expert planting. Upstairs, you can nestle down in quiet and comfortable bedrooms and at the top of the house, the large loft conversion with en suite shower room enjoys countryside views. Within walking distance of local shops, the al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown Village and waterfront restaurants of the Marina, this is a truly high-quality home in a peaceful enclave of attractive terraces.
Quiet but convenient with ample permit parking, this is a sought-after area in our legendary coastal resort close to the countryside walks and sports facilities of East Brighton Park, the water sports and restaurants of the Marina, and local al fresco lifestyle. Within easy distance of a choice of good schools, including the award-winning Brighton College, attractive properties here do not come onto the market often as, once discovered, people tend to stay.
This expertly reinvented home is tucked away in a quiet no through road. Inside, there's a wow factor that only a skilled blend of period proportion and artistic eye can deliver. The hallway is decorated in the atmospheric hues of Farrow & Ball with a discreetly expensive 'old school' radiator and painted wooden floorboards. An impressively high ceiling continues through to the stylish living room at the front of the house where a broad west bay and high windows bring in the Sussex sunshine. Complementing swan neck coving and a ceiling rose, floating shelves add a subtle fashionable tweak and a cast iron wood burning stove provides the room's focal point. Next door is an elegant home office. This room is often used as a bedroom in these period homes – ideal for guests with a cloakroom nearby. Some neighbouring properties have joined these two generous spaces to create a grand reception.
At the end of the ground floor hall, a door quietens the heart of the home – the kitchen-diner below – from the rest of the house. This could be ideal for teenagers who stay out late or those who work unsocial hours as they can come in through the lower floor entrance and retire to the bedroom on the ground floor without disturbing the main house. The kitchen diner's sociable space is bright and cheerful with two large windows at one end and French doors leading to the garden at the other. The attention to detail extends to the pretty canopy above the doors and the ceramic tiling which flows through the kitchen and out to the secluded oasis which becomes another 'room' of the house during summer. At the front, there is plenty of space by the bay for a table for dining or for homework. At the rear, the kitchen's matt grey units are right on trend, white Corian provides ample working surfaces and high-spec appliances include a Neff gas hob, hood and oven, and both a dishwasher and washing machine are integrated.
Outside is a peaceful refuge, ideal for enjoying a morning coffee, sun-dappled lunch or an evening glass of wine, and as it backs onto rarely used gardens, it is particularly quiet. Architecturally designed with a built-in wood store, this delightful space is exotically planted for privacy with Star Jasmine, Japanese Spindle and Fig-Leafed Palm in lit raised beds. Perfect for relaxing or entertaining, the garden is level with the house, a feature hard to find in a city built on the rolling Downs. Outside the entrance to the lower ground floor at the front of the house is a secure 'shed' out of sight, ideal for storing bikes, and a further storage area under the steps.
Returning inside, the contemporary bathroom has both a bath and separate shower. Light and airy with a window and a skylight, touches of luxury include a tall rail to warm towels. On the first floor, the second of the spacious double bedrooms enjoys a view of the garden, and it is ready to move into with striking wallpaper from The Graduate Collection, an alcove on one side of a chimney breast for wardrobes and another with fitted shelving. This room is currently used as another home office. The principal bedroom at the front is a soothing sanctuary spanning the full width of this substantial property with a handsome fireplace, calming colours and high ceiling. A broad bay and graceful sash windows almost fill the far wall to flood the room with afternoon light. There is ample room for a wall of large wardrobes and further cupboards in the alcoves either side of the chimney breast.
The loft conversion is the fourth bedroom and spreads the entire width of the house. With windows on both the east and west sides, it benefits from lots of light all day. It is ideal for guests, children or as a principal bedroom as there is a chic shower room along with plenty of floorspace and extensive storage behind the fitted cupboards.
Agent says:
"Quiet but convenient, this friendly area has good transport links in or out of the city and there is a friendly community here as these homes don't come onto the market very often – and sell fast."
Owner's secret:
"The location suits a busy lifestyle, but you'll return to peace and quiet – and friendly neighbours. We love all the different spaces in the house – there are open areas for entertaining and quiet rooms which offer privacy, particularly important as we both work from home. Our favourite spots are the lounge which becomes lovely and cosy when the wood burner is lit, and at the top of the house, we like to sit by the window enjoying a good book and countryside views. During summer, we spend most of our time relaxing in the garden. It's a friendly local community, so you will meet people very easily. We also love the Secret Garden which is just at the end of the road – wonderfully tranquil and delicious cakes!"

Brighton & Hove is a vibrant city known for its beaches, festivals and shopping – but also for its unique history, exciting cultural scene and warm, inclusive community. Built on hills and surrounded by the South Downs National Park, it attracts professionals and families seeking fresh air, good schools and a relaxed lifestyle.

Kemptown Village also has many amenities including a farmers' market, and the cinema and waterfront restaurants at the Marina are just a short walk. There is a regular bus service very close by that runs past the hospital and Brighton College to the station, or along the coast and to the universities. For those who need to commute by car, access to the A23/A27 is quick and easy, and there's no waiting list for Zone H parking permits.
