Set within the highly sought-after leafy surroundings of Surrenden, this beautifully presented Victorian maisonette occupies the upper floors of an attractive period terrace, combining characterful architecture with bright contemporary interiors, generous proportions and the kind of flexible living space increasingly sought after by modern buyers. Peaceful yet exceptionally well connected, it enjoys a prime position within one of Brighton’s most desirable residential neighbourhoods, particularly favoured for its excellent schools, green open spaces and easy access into both the city and London beyond.

Accessed via a shared entrance with just one neighbouring property, the apartment immediately feels private and spacious. Stairs rise to a broad and welcoming first-floor landing where natural light moves easily throughout the home, highlighting the tasteful decorative choices and thoughtful improvements made by the current owners over time. The sense of space is immediate, helped further by the generous proportions expected of Victorian homes and the wonderfully versatile layout arranged over two floors.

To the rear of the first floor sits the kitchen and dining room, which forms a wonderful heart of the home. Designed as an everyday family space as much as a place for entertaining, vaulted ceilings and overhead skylights draw in excellent natural light throughout the day, while shaker-style cabinetry provides ample storage alongside integrated appliances and generous preparation space. There is plenty of room for a dining table, creating an easy sociable atmosphere for family meals or relaxed evenings with friends, while glazed doors open directly out onto the balcony, offering a lovely transition between inside and out.

Beyond this, steps lead down to the private rear garden, a wonderfully secluded outdoor space which feels like a genuine extension of the home during warmer months. Enclosed by mature greenery and offering excellent privacy, it provides space for summer dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A particularly valuable addition is the detached garden office positioned at the rear, creating a superb separate workspace for those working from home, while also lending itself equally well as a studio, gym or creative retreat depending on lifestyle needs.

Also arranged across the first floor are two beautifully proportioned double bedrooms alongside a modern family bathroom. The front bedroom is particularly generous, with large sash windows allowing light to pour in while framing attractive period architecture opposite, while the second bedroom enjoys a quieter position overlooking the rear garden below. The bathroom sits centrally between the rooms and has been finished in a clean contemporary style with a bath and overhead shower, vanity storage and neutral tiling.

Rising to the upper floor, the principal living room occupies an entire level of the property, creating an exceptional reception space rarely found in apartments of this style. Built into the loft conversion, the room enjoys a wonderful sense of volume with vaulted ceilings, a dormer window overlooking the garden and additional skylights bringing light in from above. The elevated position creates a peaceful retreat away from the main accommodation below, offering a superb space for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the sense of separation between living and sleeping spaces that gives this home such a unique layout.

What makes this home particularly special is the lifestyle attached to its location. Positioned within the heart of Surrenden, one of Brighton’s most consistently desirable family neighbourhoods, the property sits within easy reach of excellent schools including Balfour Primary School, Dorothy Stringer School and Varndean School, while nearby Fiveways offers independent cafés, shops and a strong sense of local community. For commuters, Preston Park railway station is within walking distance with direct routes to London and Gatwick, while nearby green spaces including Preston Park add yet another layer of appeal.

Beautifully presented throughout, rich in period character and offering a rare combination of versatile accommodation, private outdoor space and a detached garden office, this is a home which delivers both lifestyle and practicality in equal measure within one of Brighton’s finest residential settings.
