Rock Grove, Brighton

With four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, this elegant semi-detached townhouse is the ideal size for families and professionals wishing to live close to everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. While it sits just a short walk from the beach and the relaxed café culture of Kemp Town Village – it is also peacefully tucked away on Rock Grove.

Externally it bears Regency architectural features in keeping with other homes in the area. It is an elegant and substantial home spread over three floors offering space for social occasions and family time which can spill out to the south facing sun terrace during the warmer weather. Internally, it has been modernised over the years, creating a blank canvas for new owners. There remains huge scope to add value with further renovations or simply to put your own stamp on the place.

Entering on the ground floor, the bedrooms have been split between the ground and top floors with two on the entrance level sharing the first bathroom which has a roomy shower cubicle and travertine tiling. You can access the terrace from bedroom two which becomes a lovely extension of the home during summer, looking out over the local historic landscape.

With pride of place on the first floor, the living room is south facing with two tall, double-glazed sashes to flood the space with natural light. There is ample space in her for relaxed furnishings and formal dining, with the kitchen conveniently adjoining. White cabinetry has been paired with practical laminate worktops and integrated appliances, so you can move straight in with relative ease. While it is perfectly smart and fully functional, there is huge potential to add value in here to create a space with a real wow factor.

Turning stairs rise to the top floor which echoes the ground floor containing two further double bedrooms and a bathroom, this time with a shower over the bath. Double glazing to all the rooms ensures a warm and restful night’s sleep.
