Beautifully Positioned Family Home in Sought-After Rugby Place, Brighton

Set in a peaceful and desirable pocket of Brighton, this charming property on Rugby Place enjoys an enviable location moments from the seafront and the wide open green spaces of East Brighton Park, with scenic walks leading directly onto the South Downs. It’s also ideally placed for the Royal Sussex County Hospital and some of the city’s most respected schools.

Bathed in natural light thanks to its east-west orientation, this elegant period home is spread across four generous floors, offering versatile living spaces with an effortless blend of traditional charm and contemporary style. Original features such as bay windows, stripped wood floors, and period fireplaces add character throughout, with a welcoming log-burning stove creating a cosy focal point in the main reception room.

The location is hard to beat—tucked away from the bustle yet just a short stroll to the heart of Kemptown Village and the lively waterfront dining scene at Brighton Marina. Outdoor lovers will appreciate having both the beach and East Brighton Park practically on the doorstep, with its sports facilities and easy access to countryside trails.

Families are well served with an excellent choice of nearby schools, including the highly regarded Brighton College, Roedean, and several respected primary and secondary options such as St Mark’s and Dorothy Stringer.

Brighton itself is a vibrant, creative city, loved for its coastal lifestyle, colourful culture, and independent spirit. With quick links to the city centre, universities, and major road routes (A23/A27), Rugby Place is also well connected by bus and car. Residents can also take advantage of easy parking in Zone H, which currently has no waiting list for permits.

Neighbourhood highlights include the independent shops, delis and cafés of Kemptown—like the popular Marmalade Café, Busby & Wilds, and Daddy Long Legs—alongside a farmers’ market, local cinema, and plenty of community spirit.
