4 bed mews for sale

Royal Crescent Mews, Brighton BN2

***guide price: £850,000 - £900,000

Steeped in history and rich in character, Royal Crescent Mews once formed part of the original stable block and servants’ quarters serving the prestigious Royal Crescent houses, constructed in 1820. Tucked discreetly behind Royal Crescent, Brighton’s first grand seafront residential development, this charming mews setting offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s architectural heritage. It is also believed that the acclaimed actor Sir Laurence Olivier owned this very mews house during the 1960s and 1970s, adding a touch of theatrical provenance to an already captivating home.

From its striking façade, this exceptional mews house immediately impresses with its abundance of charm, period character and beautifully balanced interiors. The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed for modern living. The spacious south-facing open-plan kitchen and dining room is finished with elegant high-gloss cabinetry, sleek white stone worktops and integrated appliances including a gas hob and electric oven, the space combines contemporary style with practicality. A wonderful nod to the property’s coach house past can be found in the original carriageway-style double stable-door windows, which flood the room with natural light and create a truly distinctive feature.

To the rear of the property, the inviting living room opens directly onto a generous patio garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining guests or simply unwinding in the warmer months, this private outside space is a rare and valuable addition within such a central location. The current owners have added soundproofing for the ultimate comfort when playing music or partying into the night. A well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Ascending via the central staircase, the first-floor hosts two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both beautifully light and served by a stylish family bathroom. The second floor mirrors the layout, offering two further bedrooms. The principal guest bedroom is a comfortable double, while the fourth bedroom, slightly smaller in size, benefits from its own ensuite shower room complete with walk-in shower, wash basin and WC, making it ideal for visiting guests, older children or flexible home working.

The location is exceptional. Directly opposite the crescent are opportunities for sailing, water sports and coastal walks. Kemp Town village, with its independent cafes, shops and restaurants, is just a short stroll away. Brighton Marina offers supermarkets, cinemas and casual dining, while Brighton College and the Royal Sussex County Hospital are within easy walking distance.

Locals are drawn to this highly sought-after area for its unique balance of vibrant coastal living and relaxed tranquillity, all just moments from Brighton’s iconic seafront. In recent years, Madeira Drive has undergone an exciting transformation, now home to an impressive collection of independent restaurants, cafés and leisure destinations including Sea Lanes, The Reading Room and Soho House, to name but a few. The beautifully restored promenade provides the perfect setting for morning runs, coastal walks and dog walking, while the gentle sea air and lively yet laid-back atmosphere make this one of Brighton’s most desirable lifestyle locations.
