3 bed property for sale

St. Nicholas Road, Brighton BN1

Guide price £800,000 - £825,000. Tucked away in the heart of Brighton, this three bedroom terraced Victorian house has been transformed into a versatile family home - just a stones throw from Brighton Station and the North Laine.

The Property

Built in the early 1860s and one of the original houses on the street, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom terraced home blends period character with modern family living. Spread across five floors, it offers generous and flexible accommodation in the heart of the West Hill Conservation Area just moments from everything Brighton has to offer, including Brighton Station, just a five-minute walk away. Set on a quiet one-way street, it feels calm and tucked away despite its central location.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a hallway leading to a dual-aspect reception room that spans the length of the house. Once two rooms, it’s now a bright, open-plan living space with high ceilings, period detailing, and a feature fireplace. There’s room here for a comfortable sitting area and formal dining space - or equally, a reading nook, playroom, or home office.

A bespoke oak staircase leads down to the kitchen, designed with the seasoned cook in mind. A large central island provides plenty of prep space and doubles as a sociable hub where family and friends can gather. Deep green cabinetry runs through the room, concealing cleverly planned storage and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, twin fridge-freezers, stacked Neff ovens, microwave, and coffee machine. There’s space for a dining table in front of the double doors that open to the courtyard garden - perfect for entertaining or relaxed family meals. A separate pantry and handy WC complete this level.

The garden itself is a private retreat in the heart of the city with a paved courtyard that’s ideal for alfresco dining or a quiet morning coffee.

On the lower ground floor, you’ll find a versatile space with heaps of potential. Currently used for storage and utility, it could easily be transformed and one room is already well-suited for conversion into a family bathroom.

Up on the first floor are two bedrooms, including a large double at the front with its own en-suite shower room and a fun mezzanine-style bed that is ideal for children’s sleepovers.

The top floor is reserved for the principal suite. It is a calm and private space with sliding doors opening onto a balcony boasting panoramic views across Brighton’s rooftops and out to sea. The bed has been cleverly raised so you can see the sea from the moment you wake up - a view that’s just as magical at night with the city lights twinkling below. The en-suite features a bath with shower over, and there’s a cleverly fitted wardrobe built into the landing.

The current owners have previously secured planning permission for a three-storey rear extension to create a family bathroom and home office. Please contact us if you’d like more information.
