Norfolk Buildings, Brighton, BN1

A beautifully presented three-bedroom mews house extending to approximately 1,734 sq ft, including the garage, set behind an original Georgian façade dating back to circa 1800 and forming part of one of Brighton’s historic buildings. Internally, the property was comprehensively rebuilt to a high standard in 2011 and has since been thoughtfully improved by the current owners, creating a distinctive and stylish home in the very heart of Brighton.

Approached from a peaceful mews, the house immediately reveals its individual character, blending period charm with bold contemporary design. Arranged over three well planned floors, the accommodation offers an impressive balance of practical living space, refined finishes and areas designed for entertaining. Modern technology has been carefully incorporated throughout, including TV and Cat6 cabling to every room, making the house particularly well suited to home working, streaming and everyday modern life.

The ground floor is centred around a striking open plan kitchen and reception room, designed for both relaxed day to day living and sociable entertaining. The kitchen is fitted in a sleek contemporary style, with a central island, generous storage and ample space for dining and relaxing. A particularly useful feature is the internal door leading directly into the garage, providing rare and valuable convenience for a city centre home.

Unlike many garages in central Brighton, this is a genuinely practical space, capable of accommodating a small car while still leaving room for bicycles, paddleboards, wetsuits and further storage. The garage also houses the boiler, plumbing, consumer unit and space for a tumble dryer. A 16 point gigabit switch and Cat 5 network throughout the house further enhance the home’s excellent connectivity.

The first floor provides three bedrooms and the principal bathroom. The main bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook over the mews frontage through sash windows, which are fitted with secondary glazing and plantation shutters. It also benefits from a walk in wardrobe area and a smart contemporary ensuite shower room. A further double bedroom and an additional guest bedroom offer versatile accommodation for family, visitors or home office use. The family bathroom is well appointed with a spa bath and shower attachment, wash hand basin with storage below, heated towel rails and a low-level WC.

Occupying the top floor is a superb vaulted sitting and family room, a bright and memorable space with generous ceiling height and excellent natural light. Four French doors open directly onto the private roof terrace, creating an effortless flow between inside and out and making this floor ideal for entertaining, unwinding or informal family living. Planning permission was secured in 2022 for a garden room and upper roof terrace, creating additional internal accommodation while maintaining existing outdoor space.

The roof terrace is one of the home’s most appealing features, offering a wonderfully private outdoor retreat in the centre of the city. Carefully designed, it includes a vertical evergreen plant wall with automated irrigation, together with a high quality automated awning with integrated lighting and infrared heating, allowing the space to be enjoyed comfortably for much of the year.

A rare and highly individual Brighton home, this impressive mews house combines historic character, sophisticated modern design, practical garaging and superb outside space, all moments from the seafront and the many attractions of the city centre.

Situated in the highly sought-after Regency Square conservation area on the Brighton/Hove border, this fantastic home is superbly positioned to enjoy everything the city has to offer. When it comes to shops, bars and restaurants there's no shortage of choice as the amenities of Western Road, Church Road and Brighton's famous Lanes are all close at hand. Offering everything from high street and independent stores to the pastries and coffees of the ever-popular Real Patisserie, everything you need is right on your doorstep. A leisurely stroll along Bedford Square brings you out onto the seafront, with the beach, bandstand and i360 all in front of you. Plenty of bus services provide access to all parts of the city as well as up to Devil's Dyke, while both Hove and Brighton train stations are both under a mile away providing regular mainline links for commuters.
