4 bedroom terraced house

Having undergone a complete internal new-build renovation along with a generous rear extension, this exceptional four-bedroom Victorian townhouse is truly a sight to behold. While the design is strikingly contemporary, great care has been taken to honour the heritage of the building, blending period charm with modern luxury. Only the finest fittings and materials have been used throughout – including Miele appliances, Hansgrohe fittings, marble tiling in the bathrooms and underfloor heating in the kitchen and it is evident the current owners have a refined eye for interior trends.

This beautifully versatile property offers several generous reception rooms – perfect for both family living and entertaining with the social spaces flowing seamlessly into a larger-than-average, terraced walled garden that enjoys sun all day long thanks to its north-south orientation. Designed for privacy, the garden has been landscaped with tiles on the lower patio and timber decking on the raised area, fully equipped with an automatic irrigation system, and flint and brick feature walls and lush planting to create a tranquil, private oasis in the heart of the city.

Guildford Road is exceptionally central yet remarkably peaceful, set on a quiet, low-traffic street just seconds from Brighton Station. It’s only a short walk to Seven Dials, the North Laine, the city centre, and the beach. For commuters to London or along the South Coast, the transport links are superb, and the area is within the catchment for excellent schools – offering something for everyone.

The location of this exquisite home offers the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle – close to everything yet tucked away in a peaceful street. The renovation is of an exceptional standard, with a layout that balances luxury, functionality, and comfort. The internal space has been cleverly extended and opened up to let natural light flood in from both the north and south, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout.

The house itself is a classic Victorian build, featuring ornate plasterwork, canted bay windows and traditional tiled steps leading to the front door. Inside, a soft grey palette and engineered oak flooring flow from room to room. The first reception room is currently styled as a formal dining space with a shuttered bay window, leading into a snug with a working period fireplace and finally into a living area with bespoke cabinetry – ideal for seamless entertainment.

There are four spacious double bedrooms, one of which is currently configured as a walk-in wardrobe and dressing area, though this can easily be returned to bedroom use depending on the new owners’ needs. The bedrooms share two luxurious bathrooms – one with a freestanding bath and rainfall shower, ideal for professionals or families seeking both comfort and style.
The kitchen is a true showpiece. Designed for both cooking and socialising, it features an impressive granite stain-proof counter and island top, high-end integrated appliances, Miele top-of-the-range oven steamer combi, a microwave and oven combi, and a separate warming oven, with a large induction hob. Specialist extraction is vented to the outside roof area for healthier living. A vented utility room is discreetly positioned to keep the living space calm and clutter-free. Three large skylights and bi-folding doors open onto the sun-drenched garden, which has been designed with privacy in mind – a rare find for such a central Brighton location.

Upstairs, the luxurious family bathroom is a sanctuary in itself, with a freestanding bath for cloud-watching or stargazing, and a separate rainfall shower. Two generous bedrooms are found on this floor – with the principal suite occupying the top floor. This serene space includes a chic en suite shower room, and a dressing room currently styled as a walk-in wardrobe, which can easily be reconfigured into a fourth bedroom if preferred.

With the completion of the London to Brighton train line in 1841, Brighton continued to expand at an exceptional rate, with many houses in West Hill being built at this time. The mid 19th century was an exciting time to live in Brighton, with this area holding the same attraction for many today.

This smart and spacious home is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and the parks are within easy reach, and it also offers easy access to Brighton Station with its regular, fast links to the airports and London.
