2 bedroom terraced house for sale

Set in one of the city’s most prime locations, just a short stroll from the cosmopolitan shops, cafes and restaurants of Seven Dials and Brighton’s North Laine, this beautifully restored two- bedroom maisonette is ideally located for professionals looking to live the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle by the sea.

Spread over two floors, this attractive property feels more like a townhouse with two generous double bedrooms and a large, open plan living and dining room spanning the ground floor. It is formed from the ground and first floors of a Victorian terraced house, lovingly restored by the current owners who have been careful to retain its original character and many period features. It has also been modernised throughout with integrated appliances, new double-glazed windows and bespoke cabinetry, making it ready for the modern lifestyle. With a large loft space, there is huge scope for extension to create a third bedroom and second bathroom which would considerably increase the value of the property.

You can walk everywhere from here, yet transport links are excellent with all buses passing through Churchill Square nearby, and Brighton Station is on your doorstep for the London commute. With so many winning qualities, this property will make a sound investment for home-seekers and landlords alike.

Why you’ll like it:

Perfectly positioned close to Brighton Station, the North Laine Shopping District and the beach, this two-bedroom maisonette sits in the creative and cultural heart of the city, but peacefully tucked away within the West Hill Conservation Area. It is formed from the ground and first floors of a smart Victorian terraced house, sitting mid terrace with wide bow windows on its westerly elevation. It benefits from its own street entrance and the building being shared by only one neighbour below on the lower ground floor.

Stepping inside, it has clearly been renovated by those with a fine eye for interiors and a respect for period property. Where possible, the original features have been restored, to include wide floorboards and a marble mantlepiece in the main reception room. This room is dual aspect, spanning the ground floor, looking out over the urban landscape to the east from the kitchen which is open plan to the room. Classic Shaker cabinets are paired with solid oak worktops to echo the floor. Within these, the butler sink and gas cooker have been seamlessly fitted, while all other appliances are integrated. In the main living space, there is ample room for both relaxation and formal dining, offering a great space to entertain or simply kick back after a long day.
Completing the ground floor, the bathroom has been well designed for the space to include a full bath suite with a shower over it.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are double with sanded and varnished wood floors in pale honeyed tones. The principal room also benefits from bespoke built-in wardrobes, while bedroom two enjoys far reaching views and an easterly aspect to bring natural light into the room during the morning. The landing offers plenty of room for a staircase should you wish to convert the large loft, without compromising on either of the bedrooms – certainly food for thought.

Agent’s thoughts:
This is a highly desirable part of the city where properties hold their value. There is so much to enjoy within walking distance, yet you have the relative peace of this location.

Owner’s thoughts:
“While this has been a really comfortable and peaceful home to live in – and a joy to renovate, it is the location which is the biggest selling point. You can stroll to the beach, or to the North Laine or Seven Dials – where you’re spoilt for choice for places to eat and drink. There is a fantastic energy to the area with a wonderful mix of people – from families to professionals of all ages – so we will miss it here.”
