The property occupies a prominent corner position in central Hove, with frontage and access onto both New Church Road and Westbourne Gardens.
The main school building is a substantial and attractive double-fronted period property, featuring prominent bay windows and accommodation arranged over basement, ground and two upper floors. To the rear are a number of more modern buildings arranged around a central courtyard.
The site includes a good amount of well maintained outdoor space, including a recreational area to the southern part of the site which is currently laid out as an AstroTurf playground.
The buildings are in good condition and provide a range of classroom sizes, together with office and staff accommodation.
St. Christopher's School has been based at 33 New Church Road since 1944. The property has been in the freeholder's ownership since 1956, with the family playing an active role in the operation of the school until 2003. Brighton College took a lease of the property at that time and has remained in occupation ever since.
