Located directly overlooking Blakers Park in one of Brighton's most desirable and sought-after residential enclaves, "Blakers House" is a completely unique Grand Design style home. Houses of this stature rarely come to the open market. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a phenomenal home designed by the multi-award-winning architectural practice Morgan Carn Architects who have been responsible for numerous prestigious development projects in the city and further afield.
Morgan Carn Architects are a leading multi-award-winning practice founded in Brighton & Hove over 60 years ago, who are responsible for numerous prestigious developments in the city and Sussex. MCA secured five Sussex Heritage Trust Awards in 2024 for their contemporary design style houses and also recently for their Hannington's Lane development in the city centre of Brighton Old Town alongside the beach café development at West Wittering. The extensions and courtyard garden designs at Blakers House have received numerous accolades including a commendation in the Sussex Heritage Trust Awards.
Blakers House occupies a fabulous position with elevated west exposure flooding this property with light throughout. The property offers extensive and versatile living space both externally and internally and is offered for sale in immaculate order. The use of high-specification materials throughout and thoughtful design process really make this house stand out from all others.
Blakers House stands in a beautiful location opposite Blakers Park. Both the house and the park are named after Sir John Blaker who was an extraordinary individual. In 1894 Blaker gave the land now known as Blakers Park to the people of Brighton. Blaker was also Brighton Mayor three times and received a Knighthood for his services. Blaker resided next door at 79 Stanford Avenue which is also being marketed for sale for the first time in over 20 years. Both Blakers House and 79 Stanford Avenue are an important part of Brighton's history and social fabric.
Blakers House is situated on a large plot with level access from the frontage of the property which can be accessed by two private entrances. The property is hidden behind bespoke designer fencing with gated access, that open onto beautiful, landscaped gardens that wrap around the house. Mature bamboo provides further privacy from the street. Mature trees on Southdown Road throw dappled shade onto the house's white rendered façade and in the afternoon the west-facing patio is filled with sunlight.
A wide oversized front door opens to the reception space on the ground floor, which is an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with large single-panel sliding doors that open to the patio garden, connecting the house to the beautiful greenery outside. This modern space has white walls and slate floors and a sleek new kitchen with Neff and Neue integrated appliances.
On the ground floor, there are two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. A central hall with a large roof atrium connects the two-bedroom suites and the reception areas, with stairs also rising from here to the first-floor double-height vaulted bedroom. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an exquisite ensuite bathroom with a contemporary-style, freestanding, double-ended bath. There are four windows onto the gardens, and a built-in cupboard housing utilities/washing machine and dryer. The second bedroom is on the other side of the hall and is of good proportions, with a stylish contemporary shower room adjacent. Quality bathroom furniture and taps throughout, including Grohe and Hans Grohe.
From the hall, stairs rise to the first floor, where the third bedroom is located. This gorgeous double-height light-filled room has windows on three sides, feature lighting and a storage area on a mezzanine level, above the stairs.
Planning permission has been applied for to create a roof terrace accessible from this first-floor bedroom, onto the roof which is above the downstairs ensuite bathroom. Both the roofs over the reception area, and over the ensuite, are green/sedum roofs.
Other features within the house adding to its green credentials include a phone app-controlled Mitsubishi Ecodan air-source heat pump, Greener Alternative heat pump hot water storage cylinder Neff Schott Ceran induction hob with integrated ventilation - B-Rated. Neff double oven with grill - B-rated. Candy smart pro inverter 8 kg 1600RPM washing machine - A Rated which can be controlled from your phone. Candy WI-FI Connected 9 KG Heat Pump tumble dryer A- Rated which can be controlled from your phone. Neue dishwasher - B Rated. Neue Fridge - F Rated. Neue freezer - F Rated. Alarm system - Orisec, controlled from keypad or phone on Control Plus 2 app. The house is fully insulated and fitted with an air-source heat pump adding to its lower carbon footprint.
The exterior gardens are beautifully landscaped with raised border/planters, mature palms and walled garden area. The garden area is also lit with up-lighters and feature spots highlighting the perimeter and feature planting. A large bike store/storage area is also located by the second entrance gate, which offers good deep storage, perfect for surfboards, bicycles, garden furniture etc. The property is served internally and externally by a high tech alarm system.
Blakers House is a short stroll from Fiveways where there is a selection of local independent shops. These include a greengrocer, butcher, Store (a zero-waste shop), a delicatessen, gift shop, and Preloved of Brighton (selling pre-loved fashion). There is also a small Co-op supermarket, the Fiveways pub, various eateries and takeaways and a specialist wine shop. The house is a short walk from the extremely popular Downs Infant and Junior schools and in the catchment area for Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools, both of which are very highly regarded. The Cleveland Arms on the west side of Blakers Park is your award-winning local, serving delicious food, prepared with locally sourced ingredients, seven days a week. On Ditchling Road, there is a choice of buses that run regularly into town. London Road station is a ten-minute walk, from where Southern services run into Brighton, or north towards Lewes, with connecting services to London.
