3 bedroom terraced house for sale

This well preserved, bow-fronted, Regency townhouse sits amid a run of elegant period homes on a gentle incline that runs down to the sea. Set on one of the city’s most sought after streets, on the border between Brighton and Hove and with the seafront within view of its front door, this sophisticated three-bedroom home was built in the early 1800s and has the bones of a grand period home while presenting a host of opportunities for creative input. 

A few stone steps lead up to a raised entrance, its canopy on scrolled consoles and with the original front door. Inside, pared back styling and an abundance of natural light style an impressive period home forming an idyllic urban retreat.

On the raised ground floor lies the home’s social heart, an open-plan kitchen and dining room room.Original bow sash windows to the west draw in reams of natural light, gently illuminating the dining area and accentuating the lofty period proportions and original marble fireplace. To the east, another sash window lights the kitchen where morning sunlight lends an inviting ambiance. Contrasting the period essence of the dining room, the free-standing, natural wood kitchen units are contemporary and urban with integrated eye-level Gaggenau oven and steam oven and a bespoke stainless steel worktop run featuring a seamlessly integrated hob and sink. The juxtaposition of period and contemporary serves only to highlight the elegance and timelessness of both.

Come warmer weather, there’s a private terrace perfect for al fresco dining, with Brighton bungaroosh walls bringing a welcome sense of privacy. 

Upstairs, impressive ceiling height in the double reception room creates a well balanced space for entertaining or relaxation. A palette of strong blues and off whites style the rooms, offset with shabby chic painted wood floors, a sign of a well lived home. Floor to ceiling bow sash windows illuminate a myriad of detail, including another well preserved period marble fireplace. Bespoke folding doors separate the two reception rooms, and when closed, create in the rear room a more intimate ambiance ideal as a snug, TV lounge or study space.

A large sash window illuminates the stairwell to the second floor, where the master bedroom suite can be found. With exposed floorboards and a bow window with oblique sea views, the house’s characteristic tranquility abounds in the bedroom. In the adjacent bathroom, enjoy leisurely soaks in the tub overlooking the rooftops of Brighton or refresh in the separate shower. 

At the bottom of the house, with an additional separate access from the street if required, two further recently refurbished double bedrooms and shower room  make for a relaxed self-contained area for children or guests.
