House For Sale £575,000
A luxury, seaside retreat with a flawless finish, this spacious 2 bedroom cottage has a private patio and is good to go as a fabulous home or a high end rental – and as the owners are relocating, there is an opportunity to negotiate separately about everything in the property! In a prime location within the exclusive Kemptown Village, it is on a quiet one way street tucked away from tourists but only two blocks from the sea with an al fresco lifestyle just around the corner, and there are 703 square feet (65.3m2) of immaculate, sunlit rooms in which to spread your wings. No expense has been spared to create the perfect refuge where the open plan ground floor has classic oak floors for a sociable in/out flow and a stylish, fully fitted kitchen which is ready to party. The meticulous attention to detail continues in the two double bedrooms and glamorous bathroom on the first floor, whilst a boarded attic with a drop ladder and a Velux gives food for thought, STC. A chic, sought after location in the city, the Village has plenty of amenities including a weekly farmer’s market and hosts both the County Hospital and Brighton College. The area is well served for green spaces which hold events during our legendary festivals, and a 15 minute stroll along the seafront or along St James’s Street (on the pride route) will take you to the picturesque cultural heart of our popular coastal resort.

Kemptown Village has an easy going, unpretentious vibe and it is bordered by the sea where a seasonal lift will take you to beach bars and volleyball courts. Between the Pier and Marina you are hidden away from the main tourist trail and this quiet one way road is a popular one, although properties do not come onto the market often on it and sell fast. Outside, this beautiful property radiates period charm – although the made to measure timber windows and stable door are actually energy efficient- and this sensitive design approach continues inside where graceful proportions have been subtly enhanced by a thorough refurbishment begun in 2016 which includes the following:
A new kitchen, a new combi boiler and a new bathroom (with the roof above the bathroom raised), complete re-wiring, damp proofing, timber treatment, custom made timber windows and internal/external doors throughout, made to measure plantation blinds and curtains, new engineered oak flooring, the widening of the opening to the kitchen from the main room, the installation of a fire alarm system and a rehaul of the roof. All completed to an exacting standard, a full list of works and copies of warranties etc can be supplied by the owner in due course.
Inside, engineered oak is underfoot, the ceilings are surprisingly high and the double depth living room is inviting with a large south facing window at the front and French doors in the far wall to bring the outside in. Cottage by name but not by nature, there is 21’3 x 13’10 (6.5m x 4.2m) to enjoy, and two large cupboards ensure the room remains clutter free. Light and airy in the summer, as you know, the house is double glazed in keeping with the age of the building, so in winter this space transforms into a cosy haven, where guests can dine with you in warm and rare seclusion or relax by a fireplace where the electric wood burner could stay, subject to circumstance.
Outside, the lit patio becomes an extension of the ground floor during summer – and it is the ideal spot for friends to meet before walking to the beach or into the city. A secret oasis of calm large enough for a table and chairs, it is also level with the house – a feature surprisingly hard to find in a city built on the South Downs!
Returning inside and ideal for those who like to entertain, the stylish kitchen is open to the living room for an easy flow but has its own space so it is safely away from movement and doesn’t dominate the whole of the living area either. Lined with windows to bring in the sunshine by day with a choice of lighting levels for the evening, there are plenty of units and hardy, solid wood surfaces. Only put in a few years ago it is a timeless beauty which won’t date and it is good to go with a sleek multi fuel range, and a micro/combi oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine are all integrated for you.
At the top of the stairs, the luxury bathroom is larger than you expect with space for both a bath with a shower attachment and separate walk in shower – and the vaulted roof was raised to make it even more restful. There is a subtle Victorian influence to the shower heads and designer handbasin, but there is nothing old fashioned about these high spec fittings or warming rail for towels!
On the first floor, the peaceful bedroom at the back has views over the patio, 8’11 x 8’10 (2.7m. X 2.7m) to play with and bespoke storage system which ingeniously frees up the floorspace. At the front, the principal bedroom is a serene sanctuary at the end of the day which stretches the full width of the building, and with calm decoration and plantation shutters which will stay, you won’t want to change a thing.
Agent says:
“Brighton attracts the rich, the famous and the beautiful and this chic cottage is the perfect backdrop for those who want to enjoy a prime location with its own character and amenities, but where you can also walk into the heart of our vibrant and inclusive coastal city.”
Owner’s secret:
“The house is ideal for entertaining as it flows well and we spent a lot of money to bring it up to a very high standard as we were hoping to stay in it for longer! The Village is a great location with the beach, downland walks and tennis courts of Queen’s Park on the doorstep and it has friendly cafes, bars and restaurants, so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to the city. The shops open early and shut late if you commute or work at the hospitals and the street is quiet and safe with considerate neighbours – there’s a nice mix of single people, couples and small families (the local schools are good, too!) You don’t have to be tied to a car here as you can walk, bus or cab anywhere, and we love going to shows in Brighton or in London as it is so easy to get home. As we are relocating, we are happy to negotiate items of furniture, bed linen etc and the contents of the kitchen (pans, plates etc) if you would like any of them.”
