Introduction:
Unique in both form and function, these luxury properties offer the buyer the opportunity to grow a lucrative business within Brighton & Hove.

Perfectly positioned within the city, you can step off the train at Brighton and take a stroll through the North Laine to Providence Place running alongside one of Brighton’s most famous and majestic landmarks – St Bartholomews Church. Attractive on approach, these properties have been expertly restored with their factory windows replaced with new Crittal slim frame aluminium double glazed windows which offer both form and function in their design. Mathematical black bricks gleam on the lower level while newly repointed red bricks rise up the four upper stories and a secure front door provides access.

There is an amazing energy to this part of the city which feels truly urban due to its history; where industrial Victorian buildings sit beside the modern structures of the New England Quarter, now home to businesses and residential homes. Many of these industrial buildings have been converted as the city continues to gain popularity as the most sought-after place to live outside of London. These homes are sitting on some of the most prime real estate in the country, so now is the time to grab a slice of it.

Entertaining Space:
Created for large parties and gatherings with banquette seating for up to 35-people, the reception room with open plan kitchen has restaurant qualities. Indeed, these spaces are often hosted by private chefs to cater for larger numbers, so it is set up perfectly for entertaining in style. The kitchen is hand built from solid cedar and granite with fully integrated appliances, a polished concrete floor and raw plaster walls. Concealed LED lighting sets the mood throughout this versatile space which could be reconfigures to include seating areas or work spaces.

First, second & third floor bedrooms & bathrooms:
Six of the seven bedrooms can be found on the upper floors, with two on each level. Every bedroom has an en suite bathroom beautifully appointed with 2-person luxury wet-rooms and hand-made glazed Moroccan tiles. The clean lines, stylish decoration and high-end fixtures and fittings continue up the house in every room which is business-ready with charging ports, built-in storage and flat screen 40-inch flat screen TVs. These rooms could, of course, have any number of uses, as bedrooms, reception rooms, work spaces or entertainment spaces, and all are impressively quiet considering the central location.

Principal bedroom suite:
The largest of seven bedrooms, it is predominantly the additional extras within the en suite bathroom which sets the principal bedroom apart from the rest. Brushed gold fittings, dual sinks and hand-made tiles are standard, but this room also benefits from a four-person hot tub. The floor has been strengthened here to accommodate its weight and LED lighting brings the atmosphere.
