This charming Victorian family residence, characterized by its striking red-brick façade, has remained within the same family since 1988, making its market debut an exceptional opportunity for investors and renovators. Conveniently located near Seven Dials (just 0.2 miles away), this property spreads across three generous floors and showcases a wealth of original period features such as ornate ceiling plasterwork, striking slate and cast-iron fireplaces with intricate tiled inserts, and beautifully preserved stripped wooden floors. Natural light pours in through tall sash windows adorned with colored Victorian glass, accentuating the home's spacious proportions.
The entrance is marked by a beautiful front door featuring leaded-light glass panels, leading into an inviting hallway with an original encaustic tiled floor. The flexible layout includes two sizable reception rooms—an elegant front sitting room with a prominent fireplace and a rear dining room that currently serves as a study/music area. There is potential to enhance the living space significantly by reclaiming access to the side return for an extension that could expand the kitchen, with plans already drawn up by the current owners.
On the first and second floors, you will find ample double bedrooms serviced by two sizeable bathrooms. The configuration allows for various modernisation options, including the creation of an additional bathroom on the top floor (subject to necessary planning permissions).
A standout feature of this property is its unexpected L-shaped garden—a rare find in this urban location—providing ample outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment amidst thoughtfully planted greenery. In addition to this outdoor asset, there's also a garage available for separate negotiation at the rear of the adjacent flats.
Situated less than a mile from Brighton's vibrant city centre and conveniently close to both Brighton (0.7 miles) and Hove stations (1 mile), this location offers excellent connectivity alongside access to highly regarded schools such as BHASVIC and Brighton Girls School within half a mile.
This property presents an alluring renovation opportunity in a prime location where modern touches can be harmoniously blended with cherished historical details.
