Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
*GUIDE PRICE £600,000 - £650,000*

Three minutes stroll from the sea and two from the County Hospital, this immaculate two bedroom Victorian house is a private sanctuary with a design led interior and a fabulous sunny patio to invite company. Inside, no expense has been spared in a five year sensitive refurbishment of this loved home which has created a luxury retreat with an easy, flowing lifestyle. Inside, friends and family can relax in front of a glorious flame effect fireplace in the elegant, double depth reception which opens to the patio, whilst the stylish kitchen is perfect for entertaining as it also opens to the sun deck. Upstairs two calm double bedrooms are both generous in size, and share a luxury bathroom. Tucked away from tourists you are surrounded by good nursery and primary schools both state and private, with Queen’s Park’s tennis courts and playground just 4 minutes away. A fashionable location, Kemptown Village has plenty of amenities including a weekly farmer’s market and a new Lido on the beach! The area is well served for green spaces which hold events during our legendary festivals, and a 15 minute stroll along the seafront or along St James’s Street (on the pride route) will take you to the picturesque cultural heart of our popular coastal resort.

Kemptown Village has an easy going, unpretentious vibe and it is bordered by the sea where a seasonal lift is planned to take you to beach bars and volleyball courts. Between the Pier and Marina you are hidden away from the main tourist trail and this convenient road is a popular one, although properties do not come onto the market often on it and sell fast. Outside, this beautiful property radiates period charm – although the custom made timber windows and door are actually energy efficient- and this sensitive design approach continues inside where graceful proportions have been subtly enhanced by a thorough refurbishment begun in 2018 which includes a new kitchen with underfloor heating, new bathroom, timber framed double glazing with skylights which close upon rainfall, and cast iron radiators throughout the property.

Inside, the hallway is inviting with corbels, plaster finials and discreet storage to enjoy. Of classic proportions the reception is ideal for entertaining, spanning from east to west where sunlight streams through the front bay whilst in the far wall, French doors open to the patio, which becomes an extension of the house during summer. A restful refuge to enjoy in all seasons it has a flame effect gas fire within a glorious, carefully sourced steel fireplace in Victorian style and the plantation shutters will stay.

Stylish and sociable with plenty of space for company, the kitchen is on the same level as the patio and extends the whole length of it. Lined with windows, including a skylight overhead, it is bright and cheerful with French doors to the garden, ideal for the al fresco lifestyle our city is famous for. Inside, this modern classic has shaker units providing sophisticated storage, solid wood surfaces are user friendly and the deft attention to detail includes usb charging points in some of the plug sockets – which also feature in most of the main rooms. The high end Rangemaster multi-fuel range and hood will stay and the fridge, freezer and slimline dishwasher are integrated.

Outside, the patio is a tranquil haven surrounded by gardens - and it is the ideal spot for friends to meet before walking to the beach or into the city.. A sun trap which faces east but is also open to the south, it is designed for ease of maintenance complete with lighting and attractive composite decking which is also hardy.

Returning inside, the luxury bathroom is large enough for both a double ended tub and walk in dual headed shower, and skilfully blends old with new as the designer hand basin rests on a dark wood cabinet beneath a lit cabinet. Next door, a second w.c. is tucked away behind an historic stained glass door.

Along the hall which is all on one level and has access to the attic, (food for thought perhaps stnc,) the first of the double bedrooms is quiet and comfortable with garden views and a fitted wardrobe on one side of a period style fireplace. At the front, stretching across the width of this spacious property, the principal bedroom is a dream come true, calmly decorated in the tranquil hues of Farrow & Ball with ample floor space in which to spread your wings, a built in wardrobe by a pretty fireplace, and it is light and airy with both a broad bay window and a slender sash looking over the tree lined street.

Agent says:
“In a sought after conservation area, this stylish home offers the best of the Brighton lifestyle within 3 minutes of Brighton College Prep the County Hospital and from the beach – on foot! Close to bus routes to the city, older children have some independence and commuters have swift access to the station for the airports or London.”

Owner’s secret:
“Light and airy in the summer, the house is cosy and comfortable in winter. We fell in love with its graceful proportions and with large light rooms you will have flexible options. The house and garden are perfect for parties and having the sea, a choice of parks with sports facilities and playgrounds so close and local schools on the doorstep would make life with children fuss free. The neighbours are friendly and the location worked well for us as a couple as we could walk to the theatres, restaurants and bars we enjoy (and cab back) and there is swift, almost 24/7 access to Gatwick and London.”

What’s around you:
Shops: Village is a 2 minutes, Georgian Lanes & Marina 15-20 minute walk.
Train Station: Brighton Station about 15 minutes by bus.
Seafront or Park: Seafront 3 minutes on foot, Queen’s Park/East Brighton Park 4-5 by car.

Kemptown Village has an eclectic mix of cafés, shops, restaurants and even a farmer’s market- and it is bordered by the sea with a new seasonal lift planned to go down to the beach. Within a few minutes of the international shopping, restaurants, cinemas and theatres of the historic heart of the city it is conveniently located for both Amex and County Hospital as well as a choice of parks, full of local families with playgrounds, sports facilities and cafes, and which also provide cool green spaces and host arts events in the numerous city festivals. With a new Soho House in Kemptown and a Lido about to open now is the time to buy and the whole of Brighton and Hove is easy to reach on foot, by bus or by car. The station with its fast links to Gatwick and London is easy to reach and if you need a car permit zone H has no waiting list.
