Tivoli Crescent North, Brighton.

Occupying a commanding corner plot, this substantial character home dates back to 1899 and has remained within the same family for many years, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive period property with enormous potential.

The house is situated in the sought-after Tivoli district, conveniently located close to Preston Park railway station and Dyke Road.

The corner position offers the unusual benefits, particularly for a property of this age, of an off-road driveway with parking for two cars and a double-length garage accessible from both Maldon Road and the garden. The garage offers considerable potential for alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents, whether as additional living accommodation, a home office, studio or gym.

The house offers attractive and immediately liveable accommodation with good-sized rooms, tall ceilings on both floors and beautiful period features, including five original Victorian fireplaces. There is also tremendous scope for a purchaser to modernise, reconfigure or remodel the existing accommodation to suit their individual requirements, taste and specification, creating a fabulous family home.

A further major feature of the corner plot is the much larger than average garden for this area, which extends around three sides of the house. Importantly, the predominantly level, south-facing garden is particularly well suited to families, providing plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, play and recreation.

The accommodation extends to approximately 1,813 sq ft / 168 sq m over two floors, excluding the cellar and garage. It comprises four first-floor bedrooms, three generous ground-floor reception rooms, a bathroom, two WCs, a kitchen and a separate laundry/utility room. There is valuable additional space provided by a substantial cellar offering dry storage, together with a large loft that has potential for conversion into further living accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity to acquire a characterful period home with considerable potential, substantial gardens and unusually good garaging and off-road parking. Early inspection is strongly recommended.
