Description

36 Brighton Place is a charming, stone built Georgian property occupying a prominent position on one of Portobello’s most architecturally celebrated residential streets. Set behind an attractive front garden, the house offers wonderfully balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, showcasing a wealth of original period features throughout.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with flagstone flooring and an original timber stair banister providing an immediate sense of character and craftsmanship. To the front of the house, the elegant living room benefits from tall sash-and-case windows with working shutters facing towards the park, intricate cornicing, and a woodburning stove, creating an inviting focal point within a generously proportioned space.

Externally, the large front garden is beautifully established, while the rear offers a large, well maintained space with plenty of flexibility.
