Set on an exceptionally large plot in leafy Surrenden, this 1928 detached house has been sensitively extended and newly renovated to deliver spacious family living across 2,328 sq ft. The property retains period character — leaded windows, exposed beams and a welcoming open fireplace — while modern comforts include double glazing and updated kitchen and bathrooms. A large insulated timber cabin in the rear garden offers a ready-made gym, studio or home office.
The ground floor offers a generous reception room with south-facing glazed doors, a bright family room with sea glimpses, and a substantial kitchen/dining space with an island, AGA and separate utility. Upstairs the principal suite includes an ensuite and sea views; four further bedrooms share a sizeable family bathroom. Rooms are generous throughout, giving flexibility for home working, multi-generational living or growing families.
Practical strengths include off-street parking for several cars, mains gas central heating, pressurised water for the bathrooms and fast broadband/mobile signal. The house sits moments from Preston Park, Hollingbury Park and a range of well-rated schools, with Preston Park station a short drive or walk downhill.
Notable points to consider: the property is in Council Tax Band F (higher running costs) and the cavity walls are shown as originally built with no confirmed insulation upgrade. While newly renovated internally, some buyers may wish to confirm details and dates of window and wall insulation installations. Overall this is a rare, family-oriented home on a huge plot in one of Brighton’s most sought-after roads.
