Frederick Gardens, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1

Sitting amid Brighton’s fashionable North Laine Shopping District, just minutes from Brighton Station and the beach, this sweet cottage sits on a pedestrian footpath with a pretty front garden and the quaint proportions of the era. It is deceptively spacious inside however, with a through living and dining room which has ample space for formal dining and relaxation. It has been beautifully renovated throughout using a fresh palette of soft whites and calico, being careful to retain the original character of the home while bringing it into the 21st Century.

The location is hugely convenient with a real sense of community and with many eateries and bars nearby. Brighton Museum & Library, Prince Regent Leisure Centre, several theatres and of course the beach, are all within easy walking distance, so you are never short of something to do.


Built during the early part of the 19th Century, this pretty terrace of cottages bears the quintessential features and proportions of the era, set back behind neat front gardens on a city centre twitten in the North Laine. Beautifully renovated throughout, it has stood the test of time for over 200-years and is brimming with original period character and charm.

Externally, the brick façade is immaculate in white with its timber sashes and front door picked out in stylish sage. Stepping inside it feels far more spacious than its sweet exterior implies, with an open plan living room, dining area and kitchen which are brightened by pale wood floors and crisp white walls. Cleverly designed for the space, kitchen cabinetry has been incorporated below the stairs and along one wall, fitted with integrated appliances.

Further storage can be found by the door to the rear garden where there is private space to sit outside during summer for drinks and dinner – or there is space in the front garden too – depending on what time of day you are seeking the sunshine.

Completing the ground floor, the bathroom is equally stylish, with a modern take on a period design, using patterned floor tiles and brick tiles for the walls around the shower, over the bath.
Upstairs, two double bedrooms sit peacefully on the first floor. While the front bedroom is a shade larger with a bult-in wardrobe, both rooms offer space for a double bed and freestanding furnishings.

Agent’s thoughts:
Brilliantly located in the vibrant North Laine District, and ready to move straight into, this cottage will appeal to families or two sharers.

Owner’s thoughts:
“There’s a great energy to the North Laine that you don’t find elsewhere in the city. In the summer the cafe’s spill out onto the streets where it is fun to watch some of Brighton’s unique characters pass by!”
