The Property

Stepping inside, the house immediately showcases its period credentials, with high ceilings, ornate cornicing and generous room proportions throughout. The ground floor is arranged in a classic yet highly functional layout, with a beautiful bay-fronted reception room to the front — a bright and inviting space centred around a feature fireplace and rich detailing.

To the rear, the house opens into a separate dining room, creating a natural flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Beyond this, the kitchen / breakfast room spans the width of the property, offering a sociable and characterful space with ample room for a large dining table. The connection through to the garden allows for an easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle, particularly in the warmer months.

Lower Ground Floor

A real asset to the home is the expansive cellar level, currently used for storage but offering excellent ceiling height and clear potential. Whether reimagined as additional living space, a home office, studio or gym (subject to the necessary consents), this level adds a huge amount of flexibility and future value.

Upstairs

Upstairs, the sense of space continues with three well-proportioned double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is particularly generous, while the second bedroom benefits from a bay window, enhancing both light and volume. The third bedroom is ideal as a guest room, nursery or home office.

The bathroom is bright and neatly finished, with a clean, modern feel and a full suite including bath with shower over.

Outside

To the rear, the garden offers a private, low-maintenance outdoor space with a sunny aspect and plenty of room for seating and planting — ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

Why You’ll Love It

Homes of this scale and flexibility are rarely available this close to the seafront. The combination of period charm, generous proportions and future potential makes this a standout opportunity.

Whether enjoyed as it is or enhanced further over time, this is a home that can truly evolve with its next owner.

Owner’s Secret

“There’s a real sense of community here — it’s something quite special and rare for such a central location. Neighbours all know each other and there’s a lovely, friendly atmosphere day to day. Many residents tend to use the rear access via Eastern Place, which naturally brings everyone together and adds to that village-like feel.”

Agent Says

“This is a classic Brighton period home with real presence — high ceilings, large rooms and a layout that just works. The added bonus of the cellar makes it particularly exciting, as there’s huge potential here as well as immediate liveability.”
