Clifton Road, Brighton

This charming 1950s end-of-terrace home, nestled just off Seven Dials and moments from Brighton Station, perfectly blends character with modern design. With flexible accommodation spread over four floors and a beautifully landscaped garden, it’s a truly unique find.

The Property - Located in the Clifton Hill Conservation Area, Clifton Road is renowned as one of the best streets in Brighton & Hove. This 1950s end-of-terrace home stands proudly among its Edwardian neighbours, exuding its own unique charm with delightful surprises throughout.

A pretty landscaped front garden welcomes you, leading to a striking bright yellow gate. Through the gate, a path guides you to the front door, with a side entrance also providing access to the back garden. A beautifully crafted wooden front door opens to reveal a stunning staircase adorned with geometric blue carpet.

On the ground floor, you'll find two bedrooms, both currently used as home offices. The larger front bedroom overlooks the garden, bathed in natural light from a generous window. Stripped wooden floors and a full wall of wooden bookshelves add warmth and practicality. The second bedroom at the rear overlooks the garden, with double doors leading to a small balcony. A modern bathroom, featuring a bath, fun blue vinyl flooring, and stone-effect tiled walls, completes this level.

Descending the wide staircase, you arrive at the heart of the home—a thoughtfully designed space that seamlessly combines a cosy living area and a stylish kitchen, all centred around a spacious hallway with room for a dresser or drinks cabinet. The living room is painted in a soothing neutral tone and features a built-in log-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A skylight bathes the space in soft, natural light. Double doors lead into the kitchen, which has ample room for a dining table. Two-tone cabinets line the walls, while a long worktop provides generous preparation space. Wooden herringbone flooring flows throughout, adding to the home’s timeless appeal.

From the kitchen, bi-fold doors open into a beautifully landscaped garden. Red brick paving contrasts with stone walls, and a winding path meanders through evergreen planting, leading to a custom-built pergola—an idyllic entertaining space. Cleverly designed built-in cupboards offer practical storage solutions, including space for neatly stacking wood for the log burner.

Back inside, the first floor hosts two spacious bedrooms, including a rear-facing room with bi-fold doors that invite the outside in. A modern, white-tiled wet room, complete with a Velux window, provides the perfect space for a refreshing morning shower.

The final surprise of this exceptional home awaits on the second floor. A glass door reveals beautifully crafted wooden paddle steps, leading to a bright and versatile loft room set within the pitch of the roof. Velux balcony windows flood the space with light and open up to reveal panoramic rooftop views, while a toughened glass floor panel sends light into the stairwell below. Currently used as a rowing room, this space could easily serve as a serene home office or creative retreat.
