Set on a historic crescent between North Laine and Fiveways, this substantial Victorian mid-terrace offers generous, bright rooms and a private, south-facing garden. The layout suits family life with a sociable kitchen-diner, separate living room and four double bedrooms, some with elevated city and downs views. The property totals about 1,492 sq ft over lower ground to second floor, giving useful flexibility for home working or family living.
Important practical points are clear and straightforward. The house is Grade II listed, so external and significant internal alterations will be restricted and need consent. There is one main bathroom plus a second wc, which may be limiting for a four-bedroom household and worth factoring into future plans. The building has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation and double glazing installed before 2002 — upgrade work may be needed to improve thermal efficiency.
Location is a major asset: short walks to London Road, the North Laine and Brighton station, with excellent transport links into and out of the city. The garden is a rare city-level oasis — south-facing, well planted and terraced for privacy and low maintenance. Permit parking is plentiful and there is off-street access nearby for convenience.
Buyers should also be aware of local context: crime levels in the immediate area are described as very high, and the property’s listed status will complicate alterations. For families seeking period character, generous rooms and a substantial city garden, this house offers an attractive, authentic Brighton home with clear potential once conservation constraints and retrofit needs are accepted.
