Upper North Street, Brighton, BN1

Tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street in the heart of the prestigious Clifton Hill conservation area, this grand Regency-style residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Brighton’s architectural heritage. Believed to have been constructed in the 1840s, the home combines period charm and timeless character with the exciting potential for modernisation throughout. Set behind a distinguished and handsome façade, the property offers over 1,400 square feet of well-arranged accommodation across three floors, with high ceilings, large sash windows, and generous room proportions throughout. A particular highlight is the rare and valuable off-street parking space, an uncommon feature in this sought-after area.

Upon entry, you are welcomed into a beautifully bright and spacious main living room, where original features such as tall sash windows allow natural light to pour in from its south-west facing aspect, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the day. The proportions of this room make it ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, with potential to restore or enhance original detailing such as cornicing, fireplace surrounds, or wood floors. Towards the rear of the property, the kitchen provides a functional and well-sized space with ample room for redesign, offering the potential to create a stylish, open-plan cooking and dining area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate utility room, providing useful additional space for laundry, storage, or further modernisation.

Ascending the stairs to the first floor, the front-facing room is equally impressive—boasting full-height floor-to-ceiling sash windows that open onto a charming Juliet balcony, with pleasant views over the quiet, leafy street below. This room could serve as either a second reception space or a luxurious principal bedroom. Towards the rear of the floor is a substantial family bathroom, which also includes a walk-in storage area—ideal for linens, personal effects, or future expansion. A delightful conservatory is also located at the rear of the property, offering a peaceful garden-facing retreat, perfect for reading, relaxation, or even as a home office. From here, you can step directly out into the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The uppermost floor is home to two generous double bedrooms, both of which enjoy ample light and good ceiling height. These rooms provide excellent space for family members, guests, or home-working, with flexibility to adapt according to your lifestyle needs.

To the rear of the home is a private and secluded patio garden—a wonderful extension of the indoor living space and ideal for alfresco dining, gardening, or simply enjoying the sun. A detached outbuilding is also located at the far end of the garden, offering endless potential as a studio, workshop, home gym, or office. At the front, the off-road parking space is a significant benefit in this central location, where private parking is at a premium.

Clifton Hill is widely regarded as one of Brighton’s most prestigious residential enclaves. Its elegant period architecture, quiet streets, and central location make it a perennial favourite among professionals, families, and creatives alike. The property is superbly located just 0.5 miles from Brighton Mainline Station, offering fast and direct services to London Victoria, London Bridge, and Gatwick Airport—making this an ideal choice for commuters. The city centre, with its vibrant array of independent shops, award-winning restaurants, coffee houses, and cultural venues, is within walking distance, while the seafront, beach, and iconic Brighton i360 are also close by (approximately 0.9 miles). Families are well-catered for, with a number of excellent schooling options nearby, including Brighton Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College (BHASVIC) and Windlesham School and Nursery, among others.

A rare gem in a prime conservation area, this elegant Regency home combines rich period character with exceptional potential. Offering generous living spaces, off-street parking, and a private garden in one of Brighton’s most desirable locations, it is ready to be transformed into a truly outstanding residence.
