Pelham Square, Brighton, BN1

A rare find, this chic 3/4 bedroom Grade II listed period house with a west facing garden faces a charming garden square at the heart of North Laine. Stylishly reinvented this light, characterful property is ideal for a cool coastal lifestyle and will appeal to home seekers and weekenders as its fashionable location is close to the station and not far from the beach with a beautiful, serine Japanese garden.

Why you’ll like it

Elegant society delighted in creating fashionable living spaces within this new and exciting coastal resort and in the cultural heart of the city, this remains one of the most desirable Victorian garden squares.

High ceilings and period features welcome you to this designer home which has flexible accommodation over four levels. On the ground floor, two spacious rooms each have leafy views as one looks across the well kept garden square whilst the other looks over the garden, and there’s a door out to it by a discreet cloakroom.

Downstairs, a sculptural kitchen diner/family room also has access to the garden and the windows lining the west wall and ceiling high window at the front ensure the space is light and inviting. A wood burning stove adds character as well as warmth whilst thoughtfully tucked away from the in/out flow, the contemporary kitchen has a graceful sweep. A streamlined peninsular island topped by Corian doubles as a breakfast bar complete with wine cooler, and it’s a kitchen ready for use as all the high spec appliances are integrated for you.

The flawless attention to detail extends to a large cupboard, a boiler room and a hidden cavern, all of which keep this room clutter free.

Outside, the garden is a beautifully presented and serine Japanese sytle garden with an Arbour to enjoy the peace. On the lower patio there is a stunning 'living wall' for you to enjoy whilst having your morning coffee.

Central to the house, a fabulous bathroom would not look out of place in a glossy magazine and it’s large enough for both a freestanding bath with a shower attachment and a separate shower with a dual head system. Next door, the master bedroom faces east for the morning sun, has views of the pretty square and there’s a chic shower room with a sensor lit mirror to make you feel like a star! On the top floor, a vaulted bedroom is unusually private with all the storage you could dream of and a picture window folds completely open to bring the outside in.
