“You get fantastic space and height here — the rooms are much larger than many flats in the area, and the wide bay windows make it feel incredibly bright. With Queen’s Park moments away and the city centre easily reached, it’s an ideal home for someone wanting classic Brighton character paired with everyday convenience.”

Owner’s secret:
“It’s such a peaceful spot despite being so close to everything. Queen’s Park is wonderful all year round, and you can walk to the seafront or into town in minutes. It has always felt like a proper home.”
