Distinctive four-floor family home minutes from Brighton station, with large double garage and adaptable outbuildings.
Buttermilk-painted Victorian former ice cutter's cottage
This former Victorian ice cutter’s cottage blends period charm with generous, versatile accommodation across four floors. The buttermilk-painted facade, bay windows and ornate fireplace give the house a distinctive character while modern comforts run throughout, including mains gas heating and an 80amp supply to the large double garage. The lower-ground kitchen/breakfast room opens onto a sunny patio garden and adaptable outbuildings provide a home office, larder, laundry and outdoor WC.
Designed for flexible family living or city professionals wanting space, the layout includes three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional shower room. The top-floor bedroom sits beneath the eaves with rooftop views and generous storage. The large garage offers rare secure parking or substantial storage very close to the city centre; its independent electrics could support EV charging if reconnected.
Buyers should note material caveats plainly: the plot is small and the patio garden is compact, parking on-street requires a permit, and the property sits in an area recorded as very deprived with a very high local crime rate. The construction is solid brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation, so buyers should consider energy improvements or insulation upgrades. Overall, this is a characterful, centrally placed home with significant space and clear potential, best suited to buyers who value location and period features and who are comfortable addressing energy or neighbourhood considerations.
