These houses are Grade II Listed, and have an air of grandeur with their ornate architectural features, curved facades and shining black ironwork. Spread over three floors of a Regency townhouse it offers versatile and spacious living accommodation which would be ideal for families and professional sharers alike, or holiday-home investment, as it is so perfectly located for exploring this vibrant coastal city. Ground, 1st and 2nd floor Regency maisonette Bedrooms: 4 double Bathrooms: 2 Living rooms: 1 spacious and open plan Area: 1256 sq ft Outside: east facing patio garden Location: Regency Square Conservation Area Parking: Residents Permit Zone M Why you’ll like it: Norfolk Road is a continuation of the welcoming Norfolk Square which sits off Western Road, and is mostly made up of residential properties that were developed in the 1820s. This gives them their striking architectural features, and while many have been converted into sizable apartments, they have retained their exclusive status – almost 200 years later. From outside, you gain a direct line of sight down to the sea, and your own street entrance is on the raised ground floor, up a few terracotta tiled steps. Once inside, you are immediately aware this is a beautifully maintained and stylish home. A long corridor stretches ahead with walls in sage and the woodwork picked out in white. On this level, there are two generous double bedrooms; both with a soothing tonal palette and plush carpet underfoot. Many original features have been retained, and while being raised from the street it is already private, there are plantation shutters to the front which complete the look. With a sunny east westerly orientation, the rooms of this property are filled with natural light throughout the day, and it is on this level you access the garden. Being open to the south, the garden is a real suntrap, and is a fine size for dining alfresco. It has been paved for easy maintenance, but you can easily fill colourful pots with summer blooms for a touch of colour. Spanning the entire first floor – the floor which was always intended for entertaining, is the open plan living room, kitchen and dining room. Expertly styled, this room has clearly defined areas for comfortable seating in front of the open fire, dining table situated in the bay window, and a cleverly designed kitchen in keeping with the era, but fitted with modern appliances. These are freestanding apart from the oven and gas hob, and the butler sink has been seamlessly cut-in to the oak worktops. The westerly wall feels almost entirely glazed with full height windows opening to a Juliet balcony, so during summer, these can be left open to bring the warm afternoon light and sea breeze in. There are two further double bedrooms on the top floor; each as stylish and perfect as the one before, and from up here, the views really come into their own. All four bedrooms share use of two bathrooms which can be conveniently found on both half landings between the floors, and they both have been styled traditionally, but with a modern take on the Victorian era. Transport: The transport links nearby are excellent, and most of the city is accessible on foot. Brighton Station is an easy walk for the London commute or for holiday makers, and there are cycle paths throughout – so you may prefer to be car free. Owner’s secret “There is a real sense of community in Clifton Hill and Brunswick Town, so it is ideal for families and professionals alike. This has been a fantastic investment as a holiday let as there is always demand in Brighton and Hove, but it has plenty of space for a family to spread out too.” Where it is: Shops: Local 1 min walk, city centre 4 min walk Train Station: Brighton Station 10 min walk Seafront or Park: St Ann’s Well Gardens 8 min walk, Seafront 30 sec walk Closest Schools: Primary: Brunswick Primary, Hove Primary School Secondary: Hove Park, Blatchington Mill, Cardinal Newman RC Private: Brighton College This peaceful maisonette is beautifully situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep.
