Description
Two minutes from the famous al fresco lifestyle and legendary shopping of the North Laine but tucked away in a fume free pedestrian only twittern, this 1800’s 3 bedroom cottage with a sunny, walled garden is a spacious beauty with 983 square feet (91.3m2) of light filled rooms to enjoy. Inside, this historic home has a social focus with an inviting living/dining room which opens to the private oasis outside, and there is a separate stylish kitchen also on the lower floor. Upstairs a classic bathroom serves three stylish bedrooms which are all comfortable doubles – including one on the ground floor, ideal for guests or to combine business with pleasure as an up and running air B&B! With only a one way street lost within a one way system behind it, this historic street is far quieter than its fabulous setting may suggest, and just a 10 stroll from the sea – past bars and restaurants- it will attract professionals, families and investors as it is the natural place for friends to meet to explore our famous coastal resort and to enjoy its festivals and surrounding National Park.

Brighton’s historic twitterns are particularly sought after, and with a prime address even within the exclusive North Laine Conservation Area, this exceptionally attractive cottage is full of light with surprisingly spacious rooms which brim with character. On a pedestrian lane with lighting and gardens to one side it has instant appeal and inside, high ceilings and big windows which all frame verdant views both front and back, ensure each room is inviting.

Cottage by name but not by nature, the ground floor is light and airy with a flow which sweeps through into the guest bedroom at the front of the house, which has also been a formal reception and home office. A restful retreat of classic beauty with a broad bay window which reaches to the ceiling – which is high – there are floating shelves on one side of a handsome fireplace which the owner believes remains open. This room could also be turned into an additional bedroom if needed. Next door, the classic bathroom has a traditional influence, and it is large enough for a full size bathtub with a shower above it.

Downstairs, the stylish living and dining rooms are connected. Over 20 feet long there is plenty of space in which to work rest or play and the living area is completely private, so friends can relax in rare seclusion. By the kitchen, the dining area has French doors to bring the outside in and ensure a seamless flow into the garden which becomes another room of the house during summer. Off centre stage the kitchen is still sociable and lined with windows you can keep a discreet eye on guests needs – or pets- in the garden. User friendly with streamlined units providing good storage and practical work surfaces it is good to go with a gas hob and electric oven beneath a hood, and there is plumbing in place for a machine.

Outside the paved garden is an oasis of calm where it is easy to forget that all this vibrant city has to offer is on the doorstep. With a raised, one way street behind it is not directly overlooked and it is secure for pets and children with plenty of space to enjoy al fresco gatherings, and mature plants chosen for all year interest.

Returning inside, up on the first floor, the second of the double bedrooms is restfully simple with 9’10 x 9’7 (3m x 2.93) to unwind in. At the front of the house, the majestic principal bedroom spans the full width of the building and with calm decoration, twin double wardrobes which stretch from floor to ceiling and tall window framing the historic gardens opposite, you won’t need to change a thing.

Agent says:

“In one of the most sought after areas of the city with almost 24/7 access to the airport and London this beautiful period home has real charm inside and out.”
