House For Sale £800,000
Sitting just a stone’s throw from the desirable Seven Dials area and a short stroll from Brighton Station is this generous four-bedroom townhouse with bright, spacious rooms spread over three substantial floors. Elevated on one of Brighton’s famous hills, it is open to the front with a private parking space and exceptional views across the city to the rolling hills of the South Downs, while to the rear it is south-facing, so every floor if filled with natural light. The rear garden stretches back 35-feet, so it is a great size for somewhere so central, and it does not feel overlooked.
Inside, the house has been very well-maintained by the current owners who have retained or replaced wooden floors within almost every room. A beautiful loft room has been created as a work space but could have any number of uses, and the potential is there for a double height extension to the rear which would add considerable value in such a sought-after location.
As it stands, it is ready for the modern family lifestyle while standing on some of the most prime land in the country. For families it sits within catchment for several ‘outstanding’ schools and nurseries, but professional sharers and commuters will also enjoy the highly favourable location with the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle on their doorstep – so it is sure to appeal to many.
Style: Victorian townhouse
Style: 4 double bedrooms, 1 reception room, 1 bathroom + WC, 1 kitchen, 1 loft room
Location: Seven Dials/West Hill Conservation Area
Floor Area: 1306 sq. Ft.
Outside: West facing rear garden
Parking: Forecourt for 1 car or Zone Y
Tenure: Freehold
Council Tax Band: C
Why you’ll like it:
The close proximity of Seven Dials to the city centre, the station and the beach has ensured it popularity for decades. It is truly cosmopolitan, with a vibrant café culture, several fashionable shops and restaurants and a unique energy which attracts many people here. This beautiful family home is sits just moments from The Dials, yet it is peacefully tucked away on a quiet road sitting high above the trainline, giving it sensational views across the city – and uniquely it has a parking forecourt which is a huge bonus in this part of the city where parking permits have a long waiting list.
Bearing the classic architectural features of the era, the house is attractive on approach with wide bay windows and decorative plasterwork to its roofline. The forecourt is brick-paved and in great condition, as are the stone steps leading up to the turquoise timber front door.
Entering on the raised ground floor, the house immediately feels spacious and light with high ceilings throughout. There are two versatile double bedrooms on this level which could be used as reception rooms or home offices depending on need. Both have stripped wooden floors and cool-grey walls with their woodwork features picked out in white, creating a stylish yet neutral canvas for the new owners.
Stepping downstairs, passing a separate WC – ideal in any shared space, the main reception rooms are found on the lower ground floor. These rooms form the foot print of those above them with the living room looking out to the front and the kitchen with access to the beautiful walled city garden. The kitchen is classically designed with timber cabinetry and travertine tile splashbacks, leaving space and plumbing for a washing machine and a dishwasher, and further space for a tall fridge freezer and a cooker. There is also room for a kitchen table and chairs, creating a second reception/social space on the lower level.
Outside, the garden has been landscaped with both a beach and countryside scheme, using pebbles and faux grass to create seating areas in the dappled shade of a mature tree. There are sleeper steps and beds for planting, plus outdoor lighting ensures you can sit outside on balmy summer night’s long after the sun has gone down. It is perfectly private out here and not overlooked at the rear.
It is on this side of the house where a double height extension would be possible, to include a west facing balcony, as many of the neighbouring homes have shown – all food for thought and subject to planning consents of course.
Returning inside, there are two further double bedrooms on the top floor, mirroring those below them, but with soft grey carpet underfoot. The views only improve the further up the house you go and are ever-changing with the seasons. These rooms share use of the family bathroom which is another timeless room with sandy porcelain wall and floor tiles around a white bath suite with a shower above it.
With ladder access, there is a fantastic loft room which has been made habitable with Velux windows, wood flooring, insulation and decoration. It would be great as a hobby space or work space – or it could be linked to the rest of the house with a staircase to create a fifth bedroom.
Agent’s thoughts:
This is a superb property with a fine finish throughout, sitting on some of the most sought-after land in the city. There is scope, however, to extend and modernise which would add value in such a prestigious location.
Owner’s secret
“We have loved our time here over the last 23-years and cannot rate this area enough. Seven Dials is such a vibrant place to live and you are literally 15 minutes on foot from everything – less for the station should you need to commute. It was a great family home for us as the children had independence as they grew up and the schools are incredible. We no longer need the space, but we will miss it hugely.”
