Shaftesbury Place, Brighton

*** NO ONWARD CHAIN *** Offered exclusively by John Hilton's, this charming, bay-fronted Victorian townhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved home that has remained in the same family for over fifty years. Ideally positioned in the highly convenient and central Preston Circus area, adjacent to London Road Station, the property combines period character with exceptional potential. Arranged over four impressive floors with the added benefit of a cellar, the deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation provides exciting scope for a prospective purchaser to reconfigure, enhance, and truly make the home their own. The home further benefits from a charming west-facing courtyard garden - perfect for enjoying afternoon and evening sunshine - as well as wonderful, far-reaching views across the city from the upper floors. Situated within the catchment area of highly regarded primary and secondary schools and enjoying excellent transport links, this is a superb opportunity to secure a substantial, characterful Victorian residence in a sought-after and well-connected location.
