Wakefield Road, Brighton

Guide price £575,000 - £600,000. Positioned on the centrally located Wakefield Road, this beautifully refurbished period home offers light-filled interiors, flexible accommodation and a private rear garden. Arranged over three floors, the house blends period character with contemporary finishes and is offered to the market chain-free. 

Approaching the property, the attractive façade immediately stands out. Painted in a soft contemporary grey with crisp white detailing and decorative corbels framing the front door, it makes a welcoming first impression. 

Inside, the entrance hallway leads to two bedrooms on the ground floor. The front bedroom is particularly generous, with a wide bay window that fills the room with natural light, while the second bedroom at the rear enjoys a peaceful outlook over the garden. 

Stairs from the hallway lead down to the lower ground floor, where the main living space unfolds. Here, an open-plan kitchen and living room stretches over six metres in length, creating a sociable space designed for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with modern gloss cabinetry in neutral tones, alongside integrated appliances including an electric oven, hob, washing machine and dishwasher. A breakfast bar provides a relaxed spot for morning coffee or casual dining. 

The living area sits at the front of this level and benefits from its own external entrance, adding a layer of flexibility to the layout. To the rear, the kitchen opens into a bright conservatory-style space with double doors leading outside. Steps descend to a private decked garden – a secluded spot for summer evenings, outdoor dining or simply enjoying a little quiet time away from the city. 

On the top floor sits the principal bedroom alongside a beautifully finished bathroom. The bathroom features a freestanding bath positioned beneath the window, a separate shower enclosure and contemporary fittings throughout. From this elevated vantage point, the outlook across treetops and rooftops is particularly striking and is a reminder of the home’s hillside position above the city.
