Why you’ll like it:

Introduction:

Tree lined avenues of striking Regency homes characterise the Clifton Hill & Montpelier Conservation Area making it undoubtedly one of the most desirable places to live in the city. Perched on the hill just north of the coast yet peacefully tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, this home has a tranquil spot, equidistant between the beach and Seven Dials.

Attractive on the approach, the immaculate exterior is a fine indicator for the quality of finish you can find inside. The façade is fresh in white with restored, sash windows and gleaming black railings. The front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall where the exquisite interior design is immediately apparent in the restored plasterwork features, black lacquer original floorboards and stylish matt black column radiators which provide a warm and homely welcome.

Ground Floor Sitting Room & Family Bathroom:

Effortlessly elegant, the ground floor reception room spans the depth of the house with light streaming in through the double-glazed, timber-framed bay window looking out over the peaceful street. This is a homely room, where the dark floorboards continue in from the entrance hall sit in contrast to fresh white walls, adding to the feeling of space. A grand marble fireplace takes centre stage and is open to add warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings, when the whole family can cosy up together on sumptuous furnishings.

To the rear of the ground floor, the family bathroom is beautifully appointed with high-spec sanitaryware and patterned floor tiles. The monochrome scheme feels both classic and modern and the organically curved freestanding bath takes centre stage.

Kitchen/Dining/Family Room & Shower Room:

Streamlined and contemporary with over-sized concrete-style floor tiles and handle-free cabinetry – the open plan kitchen and dining room is immediately impressive. Every appliance is integrated for you, so you can move straight in with relative ease. Spanning the lower ground floor, this room links seamlessly with the rear garden; where aluminium framed bi-folding doors open to wide concrete tiled steps leading up to the outdoor seating area which becomes an extension of the home during the warmer weather. Outdoor rear-steps lead down to a very useful rear storage area with access onto Clifton Street passage via remote operated garage-type roller door.
Inside, a central island forms the perfect space for informal drinks and dining while for dinner parties and family meals, there is space for a generous table and chairs below pendant lighting. At the far end of the room, space has been retained for a seating area/family space for relaxation, and there is a beautiful ground floor wet room and WC also accessible with geometric wall tiles, a rainfall shower and high-end fixtures and fittings.

Garden:

Incredibly peaceful for a city centre space, the garden offers a tranquil retreat during the summer with space for dining and entertaining in the summer sunshine. Wide stone steps rise up from the dining room to an area of faux grass, then up once more to the decked level which is completely private due to contemporary baton fencing. It is a real sun trap during the summer as it faces south, so plants will thrive, yet it is also low-maintenance, ready for the modern lifestyle.

First & Second floor Bedrooms:

Carpeted stairs rise up to the first floor where there are three elegant double bedrooms painted in restful tones, with ample space for king or twin beds alongside freestanding furnishings. Two look out over the garden while the other looks out to the attractive cityscape to the front, yet all rooms enjoy energy efficient double glazing for a warm and restful night’s sleep. The principal room to the front has a wall of built-in wardrobe which maximise the floor space further.

A further flight of stairs rises to the second floor where there is a fourth double bedroom; ideal as a work space as it is ultimately peaceful up here. Velux windows allow star-gazing as you drift off to sleep and there is plenty of storage within the eaves.

Agent’s thoughts:
Beautiful both inside and out, this exceptional home is a real gem which showcases the very best of Brighton & Hove’s rich architectural history.
