6 bed terraced house for sale

Burlington Street, Brighton BN2

One of the now sought-after houses believed to have been built by the distinguished local architectural partnership of Wilds & Busby in the 1820s. Ideally located within yards of the Brighton seafront and in 'The Village', the very heart of Kemptown, the house combines considerable elegance with an arrangement that is welcoming, relaxed and exceptionally comfortable. A beautiful family home, the classic layout has proved infinitely adaptable over generations.

The property consists of six bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room with balcony, study, utility room, patio and roof terrace. There are many original features: Cast Iron balcony railings and supports, bow windows in the Regency style, moulded decorative cornicing, exposed wooden floors, panelled doors and curved handrails to the staircases. Most of the window frames and floorboards are original and have been carefully restored by the current owner.

On the ground floor the property provides excellent spaces for entertaining, including a light and airy kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has fitted appliances and views to the patio from the large sash window. The dining area (which can be separated from the kitchen by the original folding wooden doors) can easily accommodate a family sized table and chairs, and the fireplace could be opened to make a wonderful winter welcoming room, beautifully finished off with the restored original flooring. To the rear is a large cloakroom which could become the 'snug', leading to a shower room.

The lower ground floor has flexible space offering two bedrooms; the one at the front has recently been damp proofed and leads to a vaulted storage space. There is a further bedroom at the rear. There is also a utility room and a bathroom. The patio is enclosed by painted flint walls offering privacy. It has concrete paving. This lower ground floor could easily become a separate self-contained area or be modified to become the kitchen and family space.

The first floor has the living room at the front. The bow window leads to the balcony with views towards the sea. The room has wooden flooring, a fireplace and fitted shelving. To the rear, a further bedroom overlooks the patio. The rear landing gives access to an unusually large terrace that has views over local gardens and towards the sea. It is the perfect alfresco space.

On the second floor is the main bedroom. It has floor to ceiling storage and ample space for furniture. The bathroom, with double washbasins and a large shower enclosure, is to the rear.

On the third floor there are two further bedrooms.

The property is tucked away within the heart of Kemptown Village with its array of independent shops and the seafront. The Royal Sussex County Hospital is within easy walking distance. The newly refreshed seafront offers Sea Lanes, Soho House, The Reading Room and a walkway along the beach.
