4 bed maisonette for sale

Montpelier Crescent, Brighton BN1

Set within an impressive Grade II* listed Regency townhouse dating back to the mid-19th century, this substantial maisonette offers over 2,000 sq/ft of beautifully proportioned living space. It blends period character with modern comfort in a way that feels both practical and special. Positioned within one of Brighton’s most sought-after architectural crescents, the home benefits from its own landscaped front garden, a rare luxury and a genuine extension of the living space. It is a peaceful spot for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply enjoying the outlook. The apartment overlooks the residents’ gardens of Montpelier Crescent, bringing a welcome sense of greenery and calm that is hard to find in the city.

Inside, the scale and original features immediately stand out. Ceiling roses, cornicing and tall sash windows give the home a strong sense of heritage, while the layout supports modern day living. The first floor is centred around a generous reception room that is perfect for both quiet evenings and entertaining, flowing naturally into a separate dining area. To the rear, the modern white gloss kitchen has been thoughtfully designed as a social hub, with a central island that invites casual dining and conversation. Light pours through the south-facing sash windows, keeping the space bright throughout the day, while a separate utility room keeps the practical side of daily life neatly out of sight.

On the second floor, the principal bedroom is generous and full of character – painted in a deep blue hue with a striking feature fireplace. It flows into a second room currently used as a dressing space with extensive storage, though it could easily serve as a bedroom or home office. An additional walk-in wardrobe also sits off the principal bedroom. This floor continues with two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a stunning new family bathroom, beautifully fitted with sleek grey tiles and detailed glass windows, all complemented by high ceilings and period detailing for a sense of space that feels both elegant and inviting.

Additional storage is available in the loft, accessed from two points and partially boarded, making it ideal for seasonal or long-term storage. The building itself has been carefully maintained, with recent external works including repainting and refurbishment of the window frames already completed.

Held as a share of freehold, the property forms part of a well-managed arrangement that supports the long-term care of this striking building and offers reassuring ownership structure.

This is a home that combines architectural character, generous space and outdoor living, all set within a location that captures the best of Brighton life.
