AN EXPANSIVE FOUR STOREY VICTORIAN VILLA, GRACEFULLY-PRESENTED AND WELL-POSITIONED IN THE PRESTON PARK CONSERVATION AREA. THE PROPERTY PRESENTS WITH FIVE DOUBLE BEDROOMS, A GENEROUS AND BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED REAR GARDEN, A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY AND AN ASSORTMENT OF PERIOD FEATURES.

With its sweeping perron and multi-storey bay windows, Springfield Road was built at the end of the Victorian period. Reassuringly elegant, all rooms are generously proportioned with high ceilings and large windows for optimal natural light while original features of architraves, decorative ceiling cornices and ceiling roses exude this home’s historic past.
A sophisticated heritage colour palette compliments the refined welcoming décor of this considerable family home.

Arranged over four floors, the property briefly includes a sizable double reception room, an immaculately presented kitchen/dining room with a pantry and a utility room, a generous bar/lounge, a cloakroom, and a ground floor shower room. Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a home office.

Springfield Road boasts an appealing approach; the intricate yellow brick façade creates an instant wow factor that is equally matched by the interior of this townhouse. Set on a quiet road in Brighton’s highly sought-after Preston Park area, a timeless geometric tiled path sits in front of this striking period home. Sympathetically decorated throughout with double square bay sash windows and a classic outdoor porch, this is a beautiful example of contemporary living in a period property.

On entering, an excellently preserved hallway with exquisite checkerboard tile flooring, detailed cornicing and a stunning authentic archway provides access to all ground floor rooms as well as offering a handy spot to store outdoor shoes and coats. Extending to the full depth of the property, is a wonderfully presented double reception room, an impressive array of period features are united in pristine white; a large bay window with bespoke shaker-style shutters pours light into the room accentuating the space with an ornate fire surround and working fireplace posing as a focal point.

Folding doors open into a second reception room, offering equally charming décor and capacious proportions.
Stairs lead down from the entrance hallway to a second large living area. The kitchen/dining room is centrally placed within the property, again measuring the full depth of this considerable home. You are presented with a classic linear kitchen, sporting a sophisticated design that remains in keeping with the style and era of the property. A generous central island unit conceals a wealth of contemporary appliances, and provides a relaxed spot for breakfasting. A fantastic pantry with a skylight and matching base level units is discretely accessible from the kitchen. An exquisite dining area follows naturally on from the kitchen, perfectly placed by a large bay window and an enviable log burner; making for a wholly comfortable setting no matter the season.

Set adjacent is a skilfully constructed rear extension, currently occupied by an elegant bar/lounge; an inviting space filled with natural light by floor to ceiling glass panel doors and a series of equally-placed roof lights. Herringbone flooring and understated wall panelling nod to the history of this modish home, seamlessly paring period features with the luxuries of modern life. The room is entirely adaptable and could work very well as a home work space, gym or second family room. Direct access to the garden to the garden from here, the kitchen, and a handy utility room means the property lends itself well to entertaining and family life. The lower ground floor is concluded by a conveniently placed cloakroom.


There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, both equally well-proportioned and benefiting from a large bay window and charming period fireplace. The main bedroom is stationed at the rear and enjoys a wealth of bespoke fitted wardrobes. A home office and contemporary bathroom suite are accessible from the landing. A further three double bedrooms are arranged on the second floor; two with fitted cupboards. The property has a second modern shower room at ground level.


Stepping out from the lower ground floor living spaces onto a terracotta terrace, a large lawn stretches out ahead. Solely overlooked by an assembly of established trees and foliage, the garden enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion. The space has been consciously landscaped to accommodate several comfortable sitting and al fresco dining areas with plenty of room for outdoor games remaining. To the front, there is a pretty garden laid to shingle, boarded by mature hedging and a private driveway.

Situated within easy walking distance to the local shops of Beaconsfield Road, the bustling restaurants, cafes and open market of London Road and Preston Circus are only moments away. Ideally located for commuters and with easy access to the university, the seafront, city centre and North Laine area are all within easy reach.

The green open spaces of Preston Park with its tennis courts, Manor house and café are only a short walk away and London Road provides easy access to the South Downs and Devil's Dyke.

Regular bus services travel into the centre of both Brighton and Hove, down to the seafront, as well as up to the Downs, and whilst London Road train station is nearby, Brighton station with its convenient mainline commuter links is approximately only half a mile away.
