House For Sale £2,200,000
This most impressive five-storey townhouse is situated on Portland Place, a desirable street tucked off the seafront in the sought-after Kemp Town area of Brighton within easy reach of the city centre and the marina. The house forms part of a Grade ii-listed terrace of handsome, typically Regency stucco properties which were built circa 1826 and designed by Charles Augustin Busby. The house has many preserved character features inside and out, including picture rails, attractive plasterwork detailing, original fireplaces, cast iron balconettes on the front elevations and a striking arched fanlight over the front door. Enjoying a prime position at the southern end of the terrace, there are views to the sea from the upper floors from most of the forward-facing rooms. Though it retains much of its character charm the house has been beautifully modernised and thoroughly updated for the modern day, with a striking countrystyle kitchen featuring an alpha cooker and central island, contemporary bathrooms and all the desired modern conveniences. Stylish décor throughout nods to the setting and the history of the home, with Regency touches, opulent wall coverings and a fabulous seasidethemed powder room decorated with a colourful floorto-ceiling mural.
The property offers a plethora of living and entertaining space of 3740 sq ft which is spread over 5 floors. Formerly there were 6 bedrooms but the top floor has been re designed to now offer 2 larger rooms. If the 6th bedroom is required the door for access is still there so it would be an easy adaption. Incorporated into the property accessed from the main entrance hall or from its own front door is the ground floor apartment which is a wonderful space, ideal for multi-generational living, work space or staff. The main house has very generous proportions throughout: On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a vast open plan kitchen and dining room, plus a spacious utility/laundry room to the rear and a cloakroom with w.c. On the first floor there is a 19ft sitting room, a separate study/bedroom and a snug opening to a terrace. The principal bedroom occupies the entire second floor with a light and airy bedroom, en suite bath/shower room with freestanding bath tub. Two bedrooms and a modern family bathroom are located on the top floor.
Virtual tour available on request.
Outside
On-street parking is available locally (permit required). There is a very charming walled courtyard to the rear, plus a terrace accessible from the first floor.
Situation
Portland Place is a popular road in the Kemp Town area of Brighton, situated just off Marine Drive within a short distance (400 metres) of the seafront promenade and the beach. There are ample amenities in the immediate area, including the many shops, restaurants and bars of St George’s Road to the north, and the excellent mix of High Street and independent shopping within Brighton city centre. There is also an Asda superstore and a selection of popular restaurants at Brighton Marina. Green spaces and leisure facilities are plentiful including the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park and the Devil’s Dyke, Saltdean Park and the newly restored Grade II*-listed Lido, the beach and the Undercliff Walk.
The area is well connected with fast, direct train services leaving from Brighton station (1.6 miles) to London and Gatwick Airport. Newhaven is 9 miles east and has cross channel ferries and superstore shopping.
