Description

Close by to the beaches and to Kemptown's café bars, restaurants, shops and music venues, this unique Grade II listed, four storey house occupies a quiet road, tucked away from tourists and traffic. The area is much sought-after, with its own historic heart and inclusive community, but also convenient for accessing all the social and cultural attractions that the city of Brighton and Hove has to offer. Highly rated local schools are within easy reach, and both the coast road and Eastern Road/ Edward Street have well served bus routes and swift links to take you in to or out of the city. Rail connection with Gatwick and London is excellent with frequent services from Brighton Station (7 Minutes by cab).

Inside, the house has been remodelled as a family home, while preserving its quirkiness and charm. Areas of original plasterwork and exposed brickwork add wit and style. The ground floor delivers a spacious living/dining room and kitchen which brims with light and character. Original shop windows at the front are frosted for privacy whilst French doors at the far end open to a south facing and sheltered patio, with room for a table and chairs, and steps down to the courtyard below. Lined with shelving, this comfortable, versatile space has plenty of room for sofas and a family dining table and is a warm-hearted and congenial space for entertaining. The kitchen area has a central island with a gas hob and with a built-in oven and worktop-level cupboards, alongside a custom-made, roomy and full height cabinet with shelves. The kitchen also features a free-standing larder. The sink is incorporated into a bespoke professional kitchen unit with shelving and work surface, all stainless steel. There is space for a dishwasher.

Downstairs at basement level, there is a generously proportioned sitting room with stripped floorboards. A pavement-light and period feature window provide daylight, but the room is not overlooked. A door opens on to a small underground cellar, which are a feature of these historic buildings. Also on this level is a large utility room (also with window/daylight) formerly used as a clockmakers workshop. A corridor that leads to the back garden is lined with spaces for a freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as shelving above for storage.

On the 1st floor, the principal bedroom has plenty of historic character with panelling beneath the two large windows which bathe the room with light, painted original stripped pine flooring and a freestanding wardrobe. In close proximity, a fabulous and generously sized bathroom has a Victorian influence in the freestanding roll top bath, classic style hand basin and exposed brickwork. Atmospheric LED lights are embedded in the high-end flooring, and there is a large South facing window.

On the 2nd floor there are three more light and airy double bedrooms, each with mezzanine spaces which are ideal for storage, or for relaxing on a beanbag with a book. They share a stylish shower/WC also on this floor.

Finally at the top of the house is a roof terrace measuring 6.83 x 5.85m (22'4 x 19'2). It offers extraordinary views of the buildings, skies and chimneys with a beautiful slice of sea view. A lovely place to entertain guests, or to take a moment to unwind.

Vendor's Comments:

Along with the sea a five minute stroll away, this house is ideally placed for many destinations. The bus stop with frequent services to the city and the station is less than a minute's walk away in Eastern Road. Kemptown's independent shops are also close by, including an excellent wholefood shop, bakery, greengrocers, award-winning bookshop and community gallery, along with an array of cafes, bars and restaurants. A short walk east from the house will bring you to Whitehawk Post Office, and then to East Brighton Park, beloved of dog walkers, which opens out on to the Sussex Downs, with many beautiful walks and views. In the house, the south facing and sheltered steel-built patio is a place where potted plants grow profusely and a small-gardeners joy.
