Description

This exceptional four-bedroom townhouse is nestled in the vibrant Kemp Town area of Brighton, just a stone’s throw from the seafront and the bustling atmosphere of St James’s Street with its array of bars, restaurants, and cafes. Having been a beloved family residence for 40 years, this property presents a rare chance to acquire a unique home in a highly sought-after location. Although it requires refurbishment, it holds significant potential to be transformed into an impressive family dwelling or as an attractive Airbnb investment.

Upon entering through the street-level front door, you are welcomed into a spacious reception room that can serve as an inviting living area or dining space. The rear of the property houses the kitchen and an enclosed patio. The lower ground floor features a basement currently utilized for storage and laundry along with a WC; however, there is ample opportunity to renovate this space into a cinema room, home office, or extra living area thanks to existing plumbing for laundry facilities.

On the first floor, you’ll find a generously sized living room with French doors leading out to a sun-drenched balcony as well as another versatile reception area at the back. A conveniently located WC enhances functionality on this level.

The second floor includes the principal bedroom complete with en-suite bathroom alongside a separate family bathroom for added convenience. The top floor accommodates two more well-sized bedrooms. Notably, recent upgrades include the installation of a Worcester boiler and Hive smart heating system that improve efficiency.

This double-fronted property showcases character and was originally two separate structures merged into one spacious residence. With abundant potential for renovation and reimagining within one of Brighton's most desirable neighborhoods, this townhouse is not only a rare find but also comes with an option to negotiate purchase of an off-road parking space on Charles Street directly across from the house—truly an asset in this bustling area.

The location offers excellent educational options being within reach of esteemed local schools such as Queens Park Primary and Brighton College while Brighton Station lies merely a mile away with comprehensive public transport links nearby. Accessing Brighton Marina's shopping complex and entertainment venues is also straightforward.
