Set in Brighton’s sought-after Preston Park conservation area, this circa 1860 semi-detached Victorian home combines generous proportions with authentic period detail. High ceilings, bay windows and ornate cornicing give the principal rooms a sense of scale and light, while the lower-ground kitchen and dining space retain original character including stained-glass French doors.
Extending to approximately 3,119 sq ft and arranged over multiple floors, the house offers six bedrooms and two bathrooms — a layout well suited to large families or multi-generational living. The substantial wraparound garden (almost a quarter of an acre) is a standout asset: private, mature and adaptable for landscaping, extension (subject to consents) or outdoor entertaining.
The property is offered as a renovation project and presents clear scope for modernisation to unlock value and contemporary living standards. Notable practical points: the EPC is E, the home requires updating throughout, and there are only two bathrooms for six bedrooms. Council tax is band F and running costs should be factored into budgets.
Location is a major strength: a short walk to Preston Park’s open spaces and facilities, immediate access to Preston Park station for London services, and convenient nearby shops, cafés and schools. For buyers seeking a substantial period home to personalise in a highly regarded Brighton neighbourhood, this house offers rare scale, character and long-term potential.
