2 bed maisonette for sale

Waldegrave Road, Brighton BN1

Guide price £400,000 – £425,000. A beautifully presented two-bedroom maisonette in Brighton’s Golden Triangle with sea views, period features, and a front garden. Moments from Fiveways and great schools.

The Property

Set across the first and second floors of a handsome terraced home on one of the Golden Triangle’s most sought-after streets, this beautifully presented maisonette offers light, space and period charm in equal measure. With Preston Park, Fiveways, excellent schools and the station all within easy reach, it’s a location that continues to tick every box.

You enter through the shared front door and head upstairs to the private entrance. Step inside and you’re welcomed into a bright, bay-fronted kitchen that looks out over neighbouring gardens and even offers a glimpse of the sea. It’s a generous, sociable space - ideal for cooking, eating and spending time with family. Soft sage green walls complement glossy beige cabinetry, with warm wooden worktops, a gas hob, stacked oven and grill, and space for a freestanding washing machine and fridge/freezer. Above, there’s access to a boarded loft for extra storage.

A few steps up and you’ll find the bathroom which is fresh and modern, with clean tiling and a full-size bath with shower over. Next door is the first of two bedrooms, a peaceful space with a large sash window, built-in wardrobe and plenty of natural light.

At the front of the property, overlooking the tree-lined street, is the living room. Painted in a tasteful dark blue, it’s full of character with a beautiful Victorian fireplace, tiled surround, and built-in cupboards for added storage.

Stairs lead up again to the top floor, where the second bedroom sits tucked away from the rest of the home. It’s a private retreat with dual-aspect windows offering rooftop and sea views to the rear, and a charming outlook to the front. There’s handy eaves storage up here too, making clever use of the space.

Throughout, the neutral décor and high ceilings give the property a real sense of calm and openness and it is more house than maisonette in feel. And with your own front garden, there’s even space to potter with plants and enjoy a bit of outdoor life in the city.

The area has a relaxed, welcoming vibe with a strong creative spirit, especially during the Artist Open Houses in spring and the community fairs and summer parties held in nearby Blakers Park. Preston Park is just a six-minute walk away and is a vast green space that’s a favourite with families, joggers, dog-walkers and event-goers year-round. Hollingbury Golf Club is also nearby for those who like to hit the fairways.
