GUIDE PRICE £1,050,000 - £1,150,000

Exceptionally positioned on the border of Brighton and Hove in a quiet cul-de-sac, just moments from the seafront and the independent shops, cafés and restaurants of Western Road, this elegant FOUR-BEDROOMED REGENCY TOWNHOUSE offers substantial and highly adaptable accommodation arranged across four floors. A beautifully maintained WEST-FACING COURTYARD GARDEN plus additional garden rooms including a south facing roof terrace. This configuration is very rare in central Brighton and presents a flexible and versatile range of uses including home working, independent living, guest accommodation, additional income as well as a spacious family home.

Occupying a prime position within the prestigious Montpelier and Clifton Hill Conservation Area, the house forms part of one of the city’s most architecturally significant neighbourhoods. Dating from the early nineteenth century, it retains much of the character associated with the Regency period, complemented by carefully considered contemporary improvements throughout.

The ground floor is arranged around a generous living room where a feature fireplace and square-fronted bay window create an elegant principal reception space with excellent natural light. To the rear, a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room provides ample storage, preparation space and room for a large dining table, with doors opening directly onto the garden. The lower ground floor accommodates a substantial additional room currently used as a workshop and storage area, offering excellent flexibility for a variety of uses. Across the upper floors are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is finished in a contemporary style and fitted with both a bath and separate walk-in shower. Outside, the west-facing courtyard garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a tranquil and inviting private outdoor space. Mature planting softens the surrounding walls, while paved areas provide ample room for dining and entertaining throughout the afternoon and evening sun.

A particular highlight is the additional living accommodation offered by the garden rooms leading off the courtyard which offer exceptional and rare opportunities. Arranged over two floors, the garden rooms are currently arranged as an open-plan reception room and kitchen area, bathroom, separate WC and a spacious double bedroom with built-in storage. Sliding doors from the bedroom open directly onto a private roof terrace, creating an attractive outdoor retreat.

The secure side passageway leads directly to the courtyard and garden rooms. As such, it is ideally suited to multi-generational living, long-term guests, home working or supplementary rental income. Subject to the necessary consents, there is also potential to combine the garden rooms with the other rooms to create a larger and integrated family home. A distinctive period property located in a quiet cul-de-sac and combining elegant Regency architecture, flexible accommodation and garden rooms all within one of Brighton and Hove’s most sought-after residential locations.
