Description
Incredible interior design, a wealth of original Regency features and expert craftsmanship come together to create this exceptional Grade II listed townhouse-style maisonette, positioned just moments from the beach and promenade in Kemptown.
Beautifully renovated by the current owners in recent years, the interiors strike a confident balance between period character and carefully curated mid-century
modern additions, resulting in a home that feels both timeless and design-led. Bold heritage palettes and luxury wallpapers enhance the architectural detailing throughout, while contemporary interventions sit seamlessly alongside original features, creating a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that is ready to move straight into.
Arranged over four generous floors (plus the potential to buy the additional lower ground apartment) the property offers a total of six double bedrooms, two impressive reception spaces and a substantial walled garden. The versatile layout lends itself equally well to family life and entertaining, with light-filled rooms and
thoughtful design at every turn.
Just a short walk away lies the vibrant heart of Kemp Town Village, with its eclectic mix of independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants and bars. Brighton’s North Laine
shopping district and mainline station are also within walking distance, while the sea glitters at the bottom of the road, enjoyed from the full-width front balcony with open views towards the promenade.
Kemptown’s seafront continues to benefit from significant regeneration, including a new heated outdoor swimming pool accessed via a restored Victorian lift from
Marine Drive, alongside an exciting selection of new restaurants and eateries. Built between 1845 and 1855 by the renowned architect Thomas Cubitt, these exceptional townhouses were conceived to mirror the grand terraces of the capital, firmly establishing Brighton as one of the most fashionable places to live and holiday during the 19th century. Their elegant proportions and architectural confidence remain a defining feature of the area today.
Stone steps and glossy railings lead up to the gracefully curved façade of the main house. Stepping through the main entrance, the exceptional attention to detail is immediately apparent. Every surface, light fitting and colour palette has been carefully considered, blending the contemporary with the authentic character of the building. Soaring ceilings are adorned with original corbels and ornate cornicing, which continue into the first of the elegant reception rooms on the ground floor, setting the tone for the accommodation that follows.
Formerly two separate rooms, the kitchen and dining space has been opened to span the full depth of the house, enjoying dual-aspect windows and a beautifully balanced layout with clearly defined zones for cooking, dining, entertaining and relaxed socialising. Bespoke cabinetry in a soft sage green provides extensive kitchen and larder storage, harmonising with the natural tones of the palm wallpaper that runs the length of the room and brings a subtle sense of the outdoors in.
A variety of seating options enhance the room’s versatility, from the central island and marble-topped breakfast bar to the main dining table positioned beside an open fire, creating a wonderfully warm and atmospheric setting for winter evenings. A large oven and gas range hob are seamlessly integrated within the original hearth, complemented by an integrated dishwasher and a microwave housed within a tall unit for ease and practicality. Elegant pendant and wall lighting introduce soft, layered illumination, subtly zoning the space while highlighting the marble work
surfaces.
Set just off the hallway, beyond a useful ground-floor cloakroom, the utility room is discreetly positioned away from the main living areas. Thoughtfully
designed and far from an afterthought, it is finished in a rich verdant green, paired with natural marble surfaces and a classic white butler sink, combining functionality with understated elegance.
A bold, mid-century palm-print wallpaper is perfectly suited to a room of this scale and is offset by deep, eggshell-black Railings woodwork to the windows and generous skirtings, while the ceiling and painted floorboards are kept light to enhance the sense of space. A wood-burning stove sits within the original fireplace, providing a warm focal point and an inviting atmosphere for relaxed family living, particularly during the cooler months
To the rear of the room, a discreet door opens into a dedicated cinema room, complete with a built-in entertainment wall and bookshelves—ideal for movie nights or as a gaming retreat for older children and teenagers. Completing the floor, a generous study is tucked away at the rear of the house, offering a peaceful workspace with access to the rear balcony and a spiral staircase that leads directly down to the garden, seamlessly connecting work, leisure and outdoor living.
The house offers two exceptional principal bedroom suites, positioned on the second and top floors respectively, each beautifully decorated and complemented by its own en suite bathroom. The first of these, and the larger of the two, is particularly impressive, with three elegant sash windows framing oblique sea views and flooding the room with natural light. A rich mustard yellow ceiling introduces a confident pop of colour, echoed subtly through soft furnishings and perfectly offsetting the delicate blush tones of the walls. There is ample space for a king-size bed, positioned to look towards the open marble fireplace, while generous floor space is retained, enhancing the sense of comfort and proportion.
Discreetly positioned behind a full-height bedhead, the en suite wetroom shower is both practical and beautifully appointed, featuring matte wall tiles paired with terrazzo flooring and warm bronzed finishes to the rainfall shower and heated towel rail. A separate en suite WC completes the arrangement, ensuring both luxury and functionality are thoughtfully balanced.
Another exquisitely appointed space, the second principal bedroom suite is the crowning glory of the house. Luxury wallpapers are paired with rich, heritage wall tones to create a room of real depth and sophistication. Generous in scale, the position at the top of the house affords the finest views, with outlooks that become increasingly impressive the higher you ascend.
Running discreetly along the length of the room, the en suite bathroom has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate both a rainfall shower and a freestanding pewter slipper bath with floor-mounted taps. Emerald wall tiles catch the light beautifully, complemented by warm brushed-gold fittings and soft, ambient lighting, creating a spa-like retreat that feels both indulgent and serene.
Four further double bedrooms are arranged across the second and third floors, all quietly positioned to the rear of the house and enjoying a westerly aspect that allows warm afternoon and evening light to fill each room. Thoughtfully curated with individual decorative schemes, the bedrooms are designed to suit a variety of occupants, whether children, teenagers or adults.
Equally well suited as guest rooms, home offices or creative hobby spaces, these versatile rooms share access to a stylish shower room. Finished in a blue and-white palette, it offers a contemporary interpretation of a traditional period design, complementing the character of the house while meeting modern expectations.
With a westerly aspect, the garden enjoys the last of the summer warmth and evening light, making it an ideal setting for drinks and alfresco dining as the sun sets and the stars appear. Remarkably peaceful, it offers a rare sense of calm and seclusion, belying the home’s proximity to the vibrant city centre.
As well as the maisonette (which comes with the freehold to the building), there is also a rare opportunity to purchase a self-contained 2 bedroom lower
floor apartment with the same impressive finish as the main house. Please ask the agent for further details.
Potential to Purchase the Lower Ground Floor Flat
With completely self-contained access and a private rear patio garden, the lower ground floor apartment offers flexibility for rental income, for generational living or for guests. The open plan living space feels particularly spacious with a kitchen tucked away behind a wall of bespoke shelving. There are zoned areas for relaxation and dining alongside another open fire. Moving through the flat, there are two double bedrooms; one with built-in bunks and the other with space for a bed and several pieces of bedroom furniture without compromising on space. As expected, the interior styling is exceptional, using only the finest fittings and materials. It would be possible to reinstate the staircase should you wish to keep the house as one residence, subject to planning.
