Brigden Street | Brighton |
Seller Insight "When we first saw this house 13 years ago we instantly loved it and the surrounding area. It's a lovely house that's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It's great to light the fire and read a book in the sitting room and having the two reception rooms means that there's separate space for you and the children to enjoy. The garden and its studio have been a real favourite. The outside space is ideal if you've got young children. It's also the perfect place to throw a party or just flop into a chair and relax. We will genuinely miss our neighbours, they're so nice. The street itself has a community feel to it and we know most of the people who live here. This is such a great place to live, you never need to drive anywhere and Brighton mainline train station is less than a 10 minute walk away. It's a very solid and calm space, we've loved living here."

Step Inside Spacious 4 Bedroom Terraced House with Separate Studio in Idyllic Landscaped Garden. Conveniently located in the heart of Brighton's Prestonville area, this spacious 1860s family home is only a short walk away from the popular shops, cafes and restaurants of Seven Dials, whilst the seafront and the green open spaces of Hove Green and Dyke Road Park are within easy reach. From the wood floors, original fireplaces and sash windows to the elegant heritage colour scheme and encaustic Fired Earth tiles, this beautifully presented home creates a brilliant example of contemporary living in a period property. No Onward Chain. EPC Rating E.
GROUND FLOOR - A tall bay window in the main reception room ensures a lovely amount of natural light tumbles in, highlighting one of the many period fireplaces that feature throughout this family home. Its sultry dark blue tones continue in the adjacent sitting/dining room which looks out onto the tall palms of the impressive landscaped garden, while an open fire provides an instant focal point and a cosy welcoming feel. The large dual aspect kitchen comes complete with Shaker-style cabinets, solid wood countertops and a classic Armitage Shanks butler sink. A feature side sash bay window creates the perfect spot for a family dining table without encroaching on the ample floor space, while a slate tiled floor adds a traditional finishing touch. Hugely versatile, the kitchen benefits from the potential to be extended (subject to the correct consents). UPSTAIRS - Four equally well-presented bedrooms feature throughout the easy flowing layout of the upper two floors of this spacious family home.
On the first floor, a large double bedroom is beautifully lit by a bay window and echoes the sense of charm and character that flows throughout each floor with its distinguished period fireplace. Elegant heritage colour schemes add a subtle splash of colour in two further bedrooms, both enjoying views of the attractive rear garden, and whilst one features a further fireplace and a large recessed wardrobe, the other benefits from dual aspect sash windows. A family bathroom continues the stylish and sympathetic interior design of the home with its full size bath with telephone taps and overhead thermostatic rose head shower, all arranged in an encaustic Fired Earth tile setting. Adding the icing on the cake, a dual aspect master suite stretches across the top floor providing a fantastic sense of height and space. Modern French doors open onto a Juliet balcony offering far reaching views across the garden and out to the South Downs. Echoing the graceful clean lines of the family bathroom, an en suite shower room adds a final touch of luxury with its slate tiled floor and heritage green wood panels, while its tall Velux window enjoys views of the i360.
Step Outside The demi-glazed door of the kitchen opens onto a landscaped rear garden that instantly engenders an easy flowing extension of the ground floor and adds an instant wow factor that's hard to ignore. Thoughtfully chosen for their drought and frost tolerant personalities, a wonderful coastal array of mature palms, clematis vines and vibrant mahonia pepper the raised and pebble beds that stretch out along the different tiers. A well-kept lawn leads onto a central raised decked platform that provides an idyllic space to relax in the sun, enjoy outdoor meals and entertain, while an original bungaroosh wall adds to the lovely sense of privacy. Creating a fantastic work from home space, a dual aspect garden room/studio offers ample dual space potential and benefits from being fully insulated, mains wired and double-glazed. Discreetly hidden from view, timber bike and tool sheds provide plenty of additional storage space, while an exterior utility cupboard easily accommodates both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
