Centurion Road, Brighton

£900,000 - £950,000. This characterful family home is located in the heart of the city, yet a peaceful retreat. It offers versatile accommodation over four floors, a garden, and a rare double garage.

The Property - Located on Centurion Road in the heart of Brighton, this attractive buttermilk-painted house stands out with its characterful facade. Once part of Brighton’s Victorian ice trade, it has since been beautifully reimagined into a warm and inviting home. With Brighton Station, North Laine, Seven Dials, and the seafront just moments away, everything you could want is right on your doorstep.

Inside, the house unfolds across four levels with generous rooms and flexible living. On the ground floor, a dual-aspect (East to West) reception works perfectly as a formal sitting and dining room or as a living room with space for a home office. An ornate Victorian fireplace with oak surround provides a cosy centrepiece, while fitted bookshelves add charm and practicality.

The lower ground floor is home to the kitchen and breakfast room - the heart of the house. Wooden floors run underfoot, and French doors open directly onto the sunny patio garden - a great space for family meals, entertaining, or pottering around. In the kitchen worktops wrap around the walls and cupboards beneath maximise storage.

From the kitchen, another door opens to the front of the house where the former ice-tore buildings have been adapted into a home office, traditional larder, and outdoor WC and laundry room. Terracotta-tiled steps lead from here back up to the street. A handy shower room and WC complete this floor.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two good-sized bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, alongside a family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. The top floor is a peaceful retreat tucked beneath the eaves: a large private room with rooftop views and generous storage, ideal as a main bedroom or quiet escape.

Adding to its rarity, the property also comes with a large double garage, offering secure parking or excellent storage so close to the city centre. The garage has an independent 80amp electricity supply, which could be reconnected for fast EV charging.

Altogether, this is a unique Brighton home steeped in history and reimagined for modern living. It is perfectly placed to enjoy the very best of the city and seafront.
