House For Sale £795,000
Distinctly cosmopolitan with award winning design and sun baked, south facing roof terrace, this unique 3 bedroom house in a gated, pedestrian warehouse conversion is far more peaceful than its fashionable setting of the North Laine might suggest! Created as part of a live/work balance project we are told that this unit has residential status - although it still has scope to combine business with pleasure as the ground floor has its own entrance, bathroom, cloakroom and patio – so it could be a home office or provide an income. Completed in 2000 to deliver the best of 21st century architecture, this fabulous home embraces the Sussex sunshine with a streamlined, eat in kitchen opening to glorious views from the roof terrace whilst a large reception with French doors to a Juliette balcony invites sophisticated company. All three bedrooms are bright doubles, and the luxury finish includes high end bathrooms and custom made shower pod. Ideal for professionals who work in the city or commute, a small family or investors, it is a 7 minute walk to the station serving Gatwick and London, there are countless shops, cafés and restaurants on the doorstep and a scenic stroll through the Laine takes you to the cultural heart of the city and the beach within minutes.
Love the VIP lifestyle offered by this immaculate home, tucked privately away behind electronic gates, made by a local craftsman, which lead to an atmospheric pedestrian, central courtyard with exotic planting, surrounded by just 8 luxury homes. Bought from new, it is on the market for the first time in 22 years but great design is timeless and strong clean lines present a sleek but inviting refuge to return to with a lit entrance and hardwood doors and windows made by a Sussex carpenter. As end of terrace it is a wedge shape, providing more floorspace than most other properties on this prestigious site and inside, the quiet hallway sets the fuss free tone of the interior with wood flooring, sculptural staircase and high ceiling.
Ahead, with its own entrance from the courtyard as well, the ground floor delivers flexible options. Once a music studio, this generous room opens to a private, lit patio and with a luxury bathroom en suite, cloakroom and streamlined storage it has also been a magnificent master suite, a perfect playroom and has recently provided an occasional income.
Up on the first floor, the second, spacious double bedroom is freshly painted and quiet at the back, and with lower homes behind there is no passing traffic. Next door, a luxury bathroom was updated approximately 3 years ago with a high end finish and Victorian influence to acknowledge the age of the warehouse. Sunny and stylish, the third double bedroom at the front has an industrial chic shower pod, custom made storage beneath the stairs and leafy views over the central, pedestrian yard.
On the second floor, this house spreads its wings in a spectacular living space which stretches from front to back of this substantial building. With all the key elements of a cosmopolitan, contemporary lifestyle high ceilings, wood flooring and crisp decoration combine to create an inviting, sun filled room with a large window almost filling the back wall to frame a glittering cityscape and French doors at the front which open to a Juliette balcony and historic vista. With a central staircase it is naturally zoned into a social areas for relaxing or dining with friends and it would be easy to make a study or fourth bedroom on this level, subject to the usual consents.
With the wow factor as soon as you step in, this house has saved the best till last! Sunshine streams through the south wall where glazed doors bring in the fabulous, south facing terrace. Flowing around a spot for a bistro set, streamlined units are topped by glistening granite and it is good to go with a 5 ring gas hob and electric oven beneath a hood - and the fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer/drier are also integrated for you.
Outside, the lit roof terrace is party perfect with plenty of footage for the al fresco lifestyle our coastal city is famous for, and guests can enjoy spectacular, panoramic views which sweep over rooftops from the snow white stone of St Peter’s Church tower to the glint of the glamorous, steel i360 and the fiery colours of the sunsets.

Owner’s secret:
“Quieter than we expected, secure and convenient, we fell in love with the warehouse courtyard with the artistic metalwork and exotic planting. The house is always light and has easily adapted to our changing needs – and the roof terrace is the ideal spot for friends to gather as we can walk to a myriad of boutiques, cafés, bars and art venues. The location has suited our busy lifestyles with easy access to all that Brighton has to offer and the station swift to reach and our neighbours are lovely – we have a WhatsApp group so we can meet up or take in parcels etc.”
