Property description

Tucked away on a peaceful one-way road in Brunswick Town sits this unique and generous three-bedroom home. It was once the stables and stores to service the grand houses of Brunswick Square and Lansdowne Place, but now it has an air of grandeur of its own having been restored and converted in more recent years. Vaulted ceilings and large windows have created the ideal spaces for producing and displaying art on tall white walls, while a spiral staircase links the floors, so it feels far more spacious than its exterior implies. While it is well-presented and ready to move into, the intriguing space lends itself to further renovation and modernisation which would add considerable value in such a highly sought-after location.
It also boasts a private, integrated garage - a rarity in this part of town, and the city, St Ann’s Well Gardens and beach are just a few minutes away. The local schools are some of the best in the city and the cycle paths and transport links are excellent, plus there is a wonderful mix of boutique shops, restaurants and bars at the top of the road. Brighton and Hove’s Stations are within easy walking distance, meaning this house would perfectly suit families, professionals and commuters looking for an exclusive and luxurious home by the sea.

Why you’ll like it:
Brunswick Town was the brainchild of acclaimed 19th Century architect Charles Busby, and he undoubtedly would have been impressed with how the area has evolved since then. The roads that were once stables have been transformed in recent decades and are now a wonderful mix of contemporary and unique homes, utilising the space and light these buildings afford.
This generous property was the home of a painter who fully appreciated its gallery walls, natural light and gloriously high ceilings. From the front, it appears a modest two storey home, yet stepping in through the front door your line of sight takes you down the steps and into the vaulted open plan living room and kitchen. It is a Tardis with a spiral staircase rising up through its centre which maximises the space. This unique room invites entertaining, yet it is also incredibly peaceful which works well for creatives looking to work from home. For families, there is plenty of space to spread out and there are clearly defined areas for cooking, formal dining and relaxing. Wooden flooring is paired with tall white walls and natural light streams in through windows on the southerly elevation, but also down the stairwell, casting interesting shapes and shadows.
The kitchen sits to one side with duck egg-blue cabinets topped with dark granite-effect worktops and gleaming black tiled splashbacks. Within the units, the fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven and electric hob are integrated and there is a useful breakfast bar creating a second sociable space for informal drinks and dining.
The industrial style spiral staircase wends up to the first floor where the landing is glazed looking down to the stairwell, allowing natural light to flow through both floors. Spanning the front of the house, the master bedroom is beautifully proportioned with a tall vaulted ceiling and a heavily glazed front elevation. A full wall of storage has been created along the inner wall which is currently used to house paintings, but it could become clothes storage or simply be removed to create even more space for furnishings.
To the rear of the first floor there are two further, peaceful double bedrooms, both with high ceilings and ample space for king size beds and freestanding furnishings. The décor throughout is classic with wood laminate flooring and white walls which will act as a blank canvas for any new owner.
The shower room nearby is also classic with a monochrome palette. It is incredibly spacious with a corner jacuzzi bath and a separate curved shower cubicle for when time is of the essence.

Agent’s thoughts:
This property is a hidden gem within Brunswick Town. It has so much potential and so many unique qualities which will inspire those looking for a home in the city. Whilst it has no outside space of its own, the beach and Hove Lawns are literally a stone’s throw away, and the enclosures within the squares become gardens for the residents here and are a joy during the warmer seasons.
