Description

Centrally located in a prominent quiet Brighton position - within minutes of the sea, shopping and restaurants but retaining many of its original features - this property is the ultimate, charming, double fronted townhouse. The bay fronted windows on three floors together with traditional black railings and the original first floor balcony provides attractive period elegance from the outset.

Upon entering the property, an immediate sense of seemingly endless space and light is achieved by corniced high-ceilings, well-proportioned rooms and the bay fronted windows to the front elevation.

The ground floor currently hosts three sensitively styled period rooms, with the main reception room having beautifully laid parquet flooring. The large, family-orientated kitchen is the perfect environment for modest or more extensive hosting and features bi-folding doors out to the private courtyard, a wonderfully manicured idyll in which to escape. Enclosed by walls and incorporating a charming seating area, this mature space is a unique find for a central city location.


The first floor is approached via the original period staircase and you are greeted at the top by beautiful double doors leading to the balcony. The house provides beautiful spacious accommodation in the form of five elegantly styled bedrooms. The master with en-suite is a beautiful West facing room which streams light through the glorious bay window. There are three bedrooms on the first floor with the additional two on the top floor along with a separate shower room. The perfect spot for teenagers or guests.

In addition to all this, the lower ground floor offers one bedroom, shower room and a kitchen/reception which could be used as an apartment. With its own entrance this is perfect for extra income or a family member wanting their own space. A real bonus.

This rarely available residence oozes charm whilst boasting a prime central address.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
