Tucked away on a quiet and leafy no-through road in Roundhill Conservation Area sits this exceptional three-bedroom Victorian terraced house. High ceilings and an abundance of original period features greet you throughout its generous rooms which have been brought shining into the 21st Century using a contemporary palette and fittings. It is clear the current owners have a refined eye for interiors and a respect for the original period character of the building, which has not been lost. Natural light streams in from east to west through shuttered bay windows which have been modernised with energy efficient double glazing, while the rear garden is a sun trap due to its south-easterly aspect.

While this is a peaceful residential area, it is also within easy walking distance of the North Laine Shopping District and both Brighton and London Road Stations. The local schools are ‘outstanding’, and this street in particular is known for its sociability, making this a highly attractive prospect for families looking to live in a well-connected and welcoming area.

Why you’ll like it
Roundhill’s popularity has increased exponentially in recent years, drawing families and professionals alike to come and live amongst its friendly community. It certainly lives up to its name with a hilly topography, but being elevated on the hill, the homes on the south-easterly side are filled with natural light, and the views from the rear are delightful.

Attractive on the approach, this house has an immaculate façade in dove grey with its architectural features picked out in white. This is a fine indicator for the quality of finish inside, where stepping through the door, the true scale and beauty of the house become apparent as you have a direct line of sight through the depth of house to the garden and far-reaching vista beyond.

Once two rooms, the living and dining room has been opened up, to create one sociable and versatile space. Solid wood flooring in honeyed tones feels warm against dove-grey walls, and natural light streams right through from the bay window at the front and French doors to the rear leading out to the side return. Two original fireplaces add period character and charm alongside traditional cabinetry and shelving built-in to the alcoves, bringing both form and function to each space. There is ample space for relaxation and formal dining in here, or you can use the far side of the room as a workspace or play room if needed, as there is space to dine within the kitchen.

Streamlined and fresh in white and soft grey, the kitchen is beautifully appointed using a modern take on a period style. Shaker cabinetry is paired with metro-brick splashbacks and slim-line stone worktops run along each side with the sink and induction hob seamlessly cut-in. There is a vast amount of storage and integrated appliances to include a dishwasher, washer-dryer, microwave and an oven, plus there is space for a kitchen table below pendent lighting. A second set of French doors open to the garden, so you can spill outside for drinks and dinner alfresco as the weather warms.

The outside space is perfectly low maintenance with paving stones creating a patio space with floral borders. It is ideal for anyone with a busy lifestyle, yet there is scope for further landscaping or growing a kitchen garden which will thrive in the south-easterly sunshine. Positioned slightly on the hill ensures the garden is open to the rear, so it gets plenty of light regardless of the time of year.

From the first-floor landing, the bathroom is directly ahead. Contemporary and stylish, only the finest fittings, tiles and sanitaryware have been used to create this impressive space. The freestanding curved bathtub fits two or has plenty of space for bathing little ones, while the separate shower is in place for when time is of the essence. A wall mounted basin and WC maximise the floor space and mirrored cabinets are in place for toiletries.

A few steps take you up to bedrooms two and three, with the larger room overlooking the peaceful street, while the other looks out over the beautiful gardens. The views only improve the further up the house you go, now taking your eye over the rooftops of the local landscape to Brighton Racecourse and the South Downs National Park, below open skies. As with the rest of the house, the décor is on-trend and there is ample space in each room for double beds. And freestanding pieces of furniture. Built in wardrobes in both bedrooms provide a wealth of storage space.

A further flight of stairs rises to the principal bedroom in the loft space with a feature exposed brick chimney and bespoke storage built-in to the eaves. Large Velux windows cover the vaulted ceilings so you can star-gaze as you drift off to sleep or watch the clouds drift by during the day. It is incredibly peaceful up here, making it the ideal space for working from home if need be.
