Crescent Place, Brighton

Guide price £900,000 - £950,000. Tucked away on one of Kemp Town’s quieter streets, this elegant five-bedroom home has a wonderfully versatile layout, generous living spaces and three separate outside areas – all just moments from the sea.

Arranged across four floors, this is a home that can adapt particularly well to different stages of life. There are spaces to come together, rooms to retreat to and plenty of flexibility for guests, older children, working from home or creating a degree of separation between everyday living and additional accommodation.

The lower ground floor forms a substantial living space in its own right. An open-plan kitchen, dining and living room stretches from front to back, with plenty of room for cooking, eating and relaxing. French doors open onto a private east-facing patio, while a separate utility area and shower room complete the floor.

Currently, this level is used as a B&B, creating an additional income stream alongside the main house. Its layout lends itself particularly well to this arrangement, while retaining the flexibility to bring the space fully back into the main home if preferred.

On the ground floor are two spacious rooms, both of which could easily take on different roles depending on how the house is used. The generous front room has a deep west-facing bay and bespoke fitted cabinetry, making it equally suited to a bedroom, home office or additional sitting room. To the rear, the fifth bedroom/family room opens through a practical kitchenette onto a southeast-facing sun terrace – a lovely extension of the space during the warmer months.

The first floor is largely dedicated to the principal bedroom. Spanning the width of the house and enjoying a dual-aspect, it is an impressive yet peaceful room, with tall French doors opening onto a private west-facing balcony and a glimpse of the sea at the end of the street. Alongside is a generous bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.

Two further bedrooms sit on the top floor, including a particularly spacious front bedroom and a quieter rear double with a vaulted ceiling and skylight.

For a central Brighton home, the amount of outside space is particularly special. An east-facing patio, southeast-facing terrace and west-facing balcony offer somewhere to sit outside at different points throughout the day, while the seafront itself is only a short walk from the front door.

It is this combination of flexibility, location and lifestyle that makes this property so appealing: a characterful city home that can change with its owners, with the added opportunity to generate an income from part of the property.

The area

Crescent Place occupies a particularly lovely position in Kemp Town – close enough to the sea and city to make the most of Brighton life, yet tucked away from much of its day-to-day bustle.

At one end of the street, the seafront opens up with the promenade, beach, cafés and bars all within an easy stroll. In the other direction is Kemp Town Village, with its brilliant collection of independent cafés, restaurants, bakeries, pubs, shops and everyday amenities.

It is an exceptionally easy place to live on foot. Brighton Palace Pier, the Royal Pavilion and the Lanes are all within walking distance, while the Royal Sussex County Hospital and Brighton College are also close by.

There is a strong neighbourhood feel to this part of Kemp Town, with beautiful period architecture, established independent businesses and the sea forming part of everyday life. For all its centrality, Crescent Place itself feels surprisingly peaceful – something that makes the location particularly special.

Schools

The house is exceptionally well placed for a number of Brighton’s respected state and independent schools.

St Luke’s Primary School and Queen’s Park Primary School are both nearby, while Brighton College and Brighton College Prep School are also within easy reach. Dorothy Stringer, Varndean and Brighton Girls provide further options across the city.

Transport links

Brighton city centre is easily reached on foot, by bike or by bus, while Brighton Railway Station is a short taxi or bus journey away, providing direct mainline services to London, Gatwick Airport and beyond.
