Marine Parade, Brighton, BN2

With a prime position on Marine Parade, this elegant seven-storey townhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a Regency house in the heart of Brighton. While many surrounding homes have been converted to flats, this truly exceptional property has retained much of its original character and layout while being extensively modernised throughout. In addition to its five floors of living space, there is a self-contained two-bedroom apartment on the lower ground floor and a further roof terrace on the top floor, with distant sea views. Most recently the house and its attached apartment has been used as a successful holiday let, and there is great potential to continue with the venture, change to a bed and breakfast format or transform into a substantial family home. The interiors are immaculately presented and appointed to a very high standard, featuring glamorous wall coverings, a vibrant colour palette and an Art Deco feel. Tall windows look out over the seafront, with the southerly light making the interiors feeling extremely spacious and airy. Many of the house’s character features remain, including original fireplaces, sash windows and decorative plasterwork such as coving and ceiling roses.

The extensive living accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors: on the upper ground floor, the reception hall opens to a vast, open plan reception room and kitchen. The kitchen area has a French-inspired feel, with Carrara marble-topped work surfaces, bespoke handmade cabinetry and a stunning La Cornue range oven. There is extensive storage to the rear, in addition to a cloakroom with WC and a bar leading out to the rear courtyard. On the first floor, the generous reception room has incredible sea views from the windows and a south-facing balcony. The bedroom at the back of the house could equally be used as a study or a snug.

There are eight bedrooms over the second, third and fourth floors, including a principal suite with beautiful sea views, a dressing room, en suite bath/shower room and private balcony. Of the remaining bedrooms, four are en suite and there are two further family shower rooms.

On the lower-ground floor, a self-contained apartment includes an open plan kitchen and sitting room, two bedrooms and a shower room, with its own private courtyard.

Outside

In addition to the two private courtyards to the rear, the property further benefits from a roof terrace on the top floor which has views out to sea. On-street parking is available locally (permit required).
