This beautiful property radiates period charm – although the made to measure timber windows and stable 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 2016 which includes the following:
A new kitchen, a new combi boiler and a new bathroom (with the roof above the bathroom raised), complete re-wiring, damp proofing, timber treatment, custom made timber windows and internal/external doors throughout, made to measure plantation blinds and curtains, new engineered oak flooring, the widening of the opening to the kitchen from the main room, the installation of a fire alarm system and a rehaul of the roof. All completed to an exacting standard, a full list of works and copies of warranties etc can be supplied by the owner in due course.
Inside, engineered oak is underfoot, the ceilings are surprisingly high and the double depth living room is inviting with a large south facing window at the front and French doors in the far wall to bring the outside in. Cottage by name but not by nature, there is 21’3 x 13’10 (6.5m x 4.2m) to enjoy, and two large cupboards ensure the room remains clutter free. Light and airy in the summer, as you know, the house is double glazed in keeping with the age of the building, so in winter this space transforms into a cosy haven, where guests can dine with you in warm and rare seclusion or relax by a fireplace where the electric wood burner could stay, subject to circumstance.
Outside, the lit patio becomes an extension of the ground floor during summer – and it is the ideal spot for friends to meet before walking to the beach or into the city. A secret oasis of calm large enough for a table and chairs, it is also level with the house.
Returning inside and ideal for those who like to entertain, the stylish kitchen is open to the living room for an easy flow but has its own space so it is safely away from movement and doesn’t dominate the whole of the living area either. Lined with windows to bring in the sunshine by day with a choice of lighting levels for the evening, there are plenty of units and hardy, solid wood surfaces. Only put in a few years ago it is a timeless beauty which won’t date and it is good to go with a sleek multi fuel range, and a micro/combi oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine are all integrated for you.
At the top of the stairs, the luxury bathroom is larger than you expect with space for both a bath with a shower attachment and separate walk in shower – and the vaulted roof was raised to make it even more restful. There is a subtle Victorian influence to the shower heads and designer handbasin, but there is nothing old fashioned about these high spec fittings or warming rail for towels!
On the first floor, the peaceful bedroom at the back has views over the patio, 8’11 x 8’10 (2.7m. x 2.7m) to play with and bespoke storage system which ingeniously frees up the floorspace. At the front, the principal bedroom stretches the full width of the building with calm decoration and plantation shutters.

Brighton & Hove is a party resort known for its beaches, arts festivals and international shopping – but also for its unique history, cosmopolitan cultural centre and warm, inclusive community. Built on hills and surrounded by the South Downs National Park we attract professionals and families seeking fresh air, good schools and a vibrant lifestyle. 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 seasonal lift down to the beach – and bars and volleyball courts.
