Wakefield Road is in the popular Roundhill area of Brighton. This residential area has a strong community, with regular events organised by the Roundhill Society, including street parties, and open gardens. From this fantastic central location, you can easily walk to the North Laine or to Brighton Station. A short stroll to The Level brings you to a park with a café, playground and a skate park. Brighton’s much-loved cinema, The Duke of York's Picture House, is at Preston Circus. There is a large Sainsburys just down the road and the Open Market, which is home to independent shops, artist’s studios and plaza traders is nearby. There are great local pubs and restaurants including the Roundhill, which has an award-winning, plant-based kitchen and bar. Families are attracted here by the great local schools, including Downs Infant and Junior schools and the enduringly popular Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools.

This characterful four-bedroom Victorian terrace is arranged over five floors and combines generous proportions with lovely period features, including high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and decorative cornicing on the ground floor.
The front door opens into a bright hallway with painted wooden floors that continue throughout the ground floor and up the stairs. To the right is a sunny living room with a bay window and wood panel detailing beneath. The timber sashes are double-glazed and are fitted with shutters. An elegant working fireplace with original Victorian tiled surround, cast iron insert and tiled hearth forms the centrepiece of the room. At the rear, a double-bedroom is currently being used as a playroom and has a bay window with fantastic far-reaching views.

From the hallway, stairs lead down to the lower ground floor, where there is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining space that spans the full depth of the house. A bay window at the rear creates a cosy spot for seating or informal dining, while windows at both ends fill the room with natural light and are both fitted with louvered shutters. The kitchen is fitted with soft white cabinetry, wood-effect laminate worktops, and classic white metro tile splashbacks. Appliances include an integrated electric oven, four-burner gas hob with extractor, and space for a dishwasher and full-height fridge-freezer. A stainless-steel sink sits beneath the front window, and next to it, a wall mounted new Baxi combination boiler which is under warranty.
On this floor there is also a separate entrance from the street and a WC off the half-landing which has underfloor heating. Stairs lead down to a further basement floor where there is a versatile space currently used as a utility room and home office, with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. The room is bright with door opens onto the rear garden.

On the first floor there are two further bedrooms and the main bathroom. At the rear is a comfortable double bedroom with a built-in cupboard, space for freestanding storage, and an elevated view over the rooftops. At the front of the house is another spacious double bedroom with a large timber, double-glazed, sash bay window which provides plenty of natural light. Adjacent is the family bathroom, fully tiled in white tiles with contrasting grey grout. It features a white bath with dual thermostatic shower—one fixed rainfall head and one handheld. There is a modern vanity unit with basin, WC and a heated towel rail.

The top floor houses the principal bedroom, a bright, dual-aspect loft conversion with painted floorboards, two Velux windows, eaves storage, and a niche currently used for clothes storage with potential for built-in cabinetry. There are more fantastic views from here, all the way to the sea.

The rear garden is a peaceful and well-designed space with brick paving, a sheltered built-in seating area with room for a dining table, raised timber beds planted with shrubs and climbers, and a mature palm tree providing a striking focal point. There are also outdoor electrics and lighting.

What the owner says:
“ This has been a lovely home to live in – full of character, with big, light-filled rooms and a real sense of warmth. Its elevated position offers sweeping views across Brighton, while the layout has provided comfort, flexibility, and room to grow. It’s over a hundred years old and has given us the space to enjoy family life in every season. The location has been ideal too – close to everything we’ve needed, with an easy commute into London. It’s a house that’s always felt like home."
