Eastern Road, Brighton

Guide price £750,000 - £775,000. This four-bedroom Victorian home on Eastern Road brings together period architecture and individual design. The current owners have spent 13 years making it their own, creating a home full of colour, texture and personality while retaining much of its original character. 

Arranged across four floors, the house has generous proportions, high ceilings and plenty of natural light. Painted floorboards, original cornicing and period fireplaces feature throughout, alongside carefully chosen contemporary finishes. 

The through living room is a lovely space, with its dual aspect bringing in light throughout the day. Two distinct areas provide room for relaxing and entertaining, while plantation shutters to the front windows offer privacy without compromising on light. 

A few steps down, the kitchen and dining room has a more contemporary feel, combining grey cabinetry, wooden worktops, geometric floor tiles and exposed brickwork. A range cooker, butler sink, stainless steel shelving and practical island area make this a sociable space, with room for a large dining table and bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden. A separate WC sits beneath the stairs. 

Upstairs, each bedroom has its own character. Two generous double bedrooms overlook the rear garden, one with rich green walls and the other with an original fireplace and a built-in wardrobe. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the house, with a bay window featuring cleverly designed privacy glazing, William Morris wallpaper, a feature fireplace, built-in wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room. The family bathroom completes this level, with a freestanding claw-foot bath, separate shower and black-and-white chequered flooring. 

At the top of the house, the fourth bedroom is currently used as an office and music room. A large roof window fills the space with natural light, making it equally suited to a creative studio, home office or bedroom for an older child. 

Below the main accommodation, the substantial basement, affectionately known as 'the den', provides a utility area alongside a separate space currently used for general household storage. 

The Garden 

The rear garden feels wonderfully removed from the pace of Kemp Town. Private and not overlooked in the summer, it has been thoughtfully planted over the years to create a sheltered outdoor space with plenty of greenery and character. 

Terracotta paving provides space for outdoor dining, while a pergola, established trees, roses and raised planters soften the boundaries. Among the planting is a particularly unusual apple tree, gifted to a previous owner by a botanist and believed to be one of only a handful of its variety in the country. Garden lighting allows the space to be enjoyed into the evening. 

Rear access from Eastern Place is another practical benefit, providing a convenient route for bicycles, shopping and loading the car without having to go through the house.

The Area 

Eastern Road occupies a fantastic position between Kemp Town Village, Brighton Marina and the seafront, with a real sense of community despite being so close to the city centre. 

Kemp Town Village is a short walk away, with its independent cafés, bakeries, restaurants and local shops. Established neighbourhood groups and familiar faces contribute to the area's welcoming atmosphere. 

The seafront is equally accessible, with The Reading Room, Beach Box Spa and Yellowave among the growing collection of places to enjoy along this stretch of coastline. Brighton Marina is also nearby, offering restaurants, shops, a cinema and waterside walks, while the Undercliff Walk leads east towards Rottingdean. 

For green space, East Brighton Park, the Racecourse and South Downs are all within easy reach. The Royal Sussex County Hospital is also close by, making this a convenient location for those working there. 

Transport Links 

Eastern Road is well connected, with regular bus services towards Brighton city centre, the station and neighbouring coastal areas. 

Brighton Station is approximately 15 minutes away by car, with direct services to London, Gatwick Airport and destinations along the south coast. 

Much of Brighton is easily explored on foot or by bicycle, while the A259 provides connections towards Rottingdean and Newhaven, with access to the A27 beyond. 

Schools 

The property is well positioned for a selection of schools across Kemp Town and east Brighton. 

Local primary options include St Mark's CE Primary School and Queen's Park Primary School, while secondary schools include Longhill High School and Varndean School, subject to admissions criteria and catchment areas. 

Brighton College is also nearby, offering independent education from prep through to sixth form.
