Why you’ll like it:

North Gardens sits just a minute to the south of Brighton Station, yet it is nicely tucked away from the main road into the centre of the city. This area is steeped in history, with this smart townhouse built during the Mid-19th Century making it Early Victorian. It bears the classic features of the era to include sash bay windows, high ceilings and cast-iron fireplaces, all of which have been renovated, restored and brought shining into the 21st Century.

Stepping inside this beautiful home, it has clearly been renovated by those with an eye for modern interiors, yet with a respect for period properties, ensuring the character of the home has been retained.

Upon entry, you are greeted into a long corridor with stairs rising to the upper floors and down to the lower level. First to the right, the main reception room was once two rooms which have since been opened to create one large double aspect space with views over the peaceful street and the rear garden below. Wood floors have been replaced like new and being a versatile room, it can have any number of uses from relaxing in the evening, working from home, TV snug, formal dining or a playroom. An open fire adds warmth and atmosphere to wintery nights while the period fireplace decorates the space throughout the year.

Downstairs, the second reception room mirrors the rooms above with an open plan kitchen and dining room leading out to the garden. Spanning the width of the house, it feels particularly spacious down here and a wealth of natural light streams right through due to ample glazing on the south-easterly wall and a light-well on the street facing side. Streamlined and modern, the kitchen offers plenty of storage space below solid oak worktops, and the space allows for a freestanding island (which may be negotiable with the sale). While the oven and gas hob are integrated, space has been left for a freestanding washing machine, dishwasher and a tall fridge freezer, and the gas central heating boiler is wall mounted.

On the far side of the room, a wood burning stove warms the space perfectly during the cooler weather, where there is space for a dining table to seat at least eight. As the weather warms, you can spill outside to the sweet and secluded rear garden for drinks and dining alfresco, in a city oasis surrounded by greenery. It is wonderfully low maintenance, however, ready for the busy modern lifestyle.

Returning upstairs to the first floor, the newly fitted bathroom is exceptional; using a modern take on a period style with brick tiling and bespoke panelled cabinetry. The white bath suite gleams with contemporary curves and there is a shower over the bath. This is a luxury space which works well for whiling away the hours in scented bubbles, or for bathing little ones getting ready for bed.

Spanning the front of the house, the principal bedroom is a large double room with built-in wardrobes and shelves within the alcoves. The original floorboards are painted which brightens the room further, while warm light filters in through the bay window during the afternoon and early evening from the west.

Two further double bedrooms can be found peacefully tucked away on the top floor where it is ultimately quiet, ideal for a dreamy night’s sleep or for working from home.

It has been a wonderful home for entertaining and for simply relaxing during the weekend and evenings as it is uniquely peaceful for somewhere so central. The Caxton Arms is a great local pub, although there are many more to choose from – and as commuters, the proximity to the station has been a blessing.”
