6 bed semi-detached house for sale

Beaconsfield Villas, Brighton BN1

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial piece of Brighton's architectural heritage. Currently arranged as two self-contained apartments (4 and 4A), this expansive Victorian property is crying out to be reimagined as one of the city's premier family residences. While currently functioning as a high-yield investment or dual-living setup, the true soul of this building lies in its potential to return to a single, magnificent five-to-six-bedroom period villa. With its soaring ceilings, period features and generous proportions, the transition back to a unified home would create a fabulous family home of distinction.

Situated in the heart of the highly coveted Preston Park area, Beaconsfield Villas is often cited as one of Brighton's most prestigious addresses in the ”Golden Triangle.” It offers that rare balance of a wide, tree-lined residential feel while being moments away from the city's pulse.

Lovers of green spaces will be right at home here. Preston Park is literally round the corner. As the city's largest park, it offers 63 acres of lawns, rose gardens, tennis courts, outdoor banked cycling track, cafes and home to a Saturday Park Run. A short walk up Stanford Avenue there's Blakers Park: A local favorite known for its friendly community vibe, Victorian clock tower, more tennis courts and an excellent playground. Pub -wise you are a short walk to Preston Circus with a wide choice, but we are fans of the Preston Park Tavern tucked away on near by Havelock Road. Lovers of great cinema on a comfy sofa with a glass of wine will appreciate the iconic Duke Of York's cinema just 5 mins walk away.

School choices are superb. The independent sector options include the country's top rated Brighton College and Roedean. The state offerings are also really great as we are in the catchment area for some of the city's most ”Outstanding” rated schools. Primary we have Downs Junior & Infant Schools (which is highly sought after). Secondary: Dorothy Stringer and Varndean, both within easy walking or cycling distance.

So the location is superb with so many positives, let's now turn our attention to the house itself. Reinstating the stair case from the wide central hallway will bring the house back together as one impressive Victorian Villa. The opportinities to create a grand design are plentiful. The realistic asking price reflects the modernisation project potential. And you don't have to look too far to see the impressive end results achieved by a number in the road. The vast footprint and whopping loft space really will get the designers and architects drooling! The ground floor has four large rooms - knocking through and squaring off the rear would create an amazing space! The first floor has four huge rooms. Master suite(s), walk in wardrobes - new large family bathroom... So many options. And don't start me on the loft!

The shared drive leads to a separate garage. There is side access to the enclosed rear garden which steps down to a terraced patio.
