Terminus Road, Brighton

Stepping off the train at Brighton, below the gracious arches of the 19th Century station, you can see your apartment across the road, and know you are ‘home’. Not only is this location ideal for commuters, but here, in the centre of the city, there’s no place better to experience the Brighton & Hove vibe. With the eclectic mix of restaurants, bars and shops of the North Laine to enjoy on your doorstep, and the sea sparkling away at the bottom of West Street, you are never more than five-minutes on foot from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer.

Spanning the upper two floors of a Victorian townhouse on the corner of Terminus Road, this bright two-bedroom maisonette feels deceptively spacious, enjoying the generous proportions and high ceilings of the era. You approach from Guildford Road where this property has its own street entrance on the ground floor. Stairs rise to the apartment on the first floor, adding to the feeling of space within.

It has clearly been well maintained by the owners who have ensured original character of the house has been retained. Period features can be found in every room, to include cornicing, skirtings, cabinetry and sash windows, alongside a period fireplace in the sitting room. A wide bay sash window faces east, looking directly out over the station, and further to the rolling hills of the South Downs in the distance. There is ample space in here for relaxed seating and formal dining, with the kitchen conveniently across the hall.

The kitchen is a good size offering plenty of storage space and an integrated oven with electric hob while leaving space and plumbing for a fridge and a washing machine.

Upstairs, the period features continue into each of the double bedrooms. The principal room enjoys the same views to the east and two built-in wardrobes, while bedroom two has a private outlook over the local landscape and space for freestanding pieces around a double bed. They share use of the bathroom across the hall which is classic in white with a shower over the bath. Both bedrooms have just been recarpeted for the next tenancy,

Good to Know:

With the completion of the London to Brighton train line in 1841, Brighton continued to expand at an exceptional rate and many of the houses in the area were built at this time. The mid 19th Century was an exciting time to live in Brighton with the fashionable and wealthy taking up residence here in great numbers. Not much has changed in the following 200-years, as this area holds the same attraction for many today.

Ideal for commuters and busy city lovers, this sunny and spacious home is in a popular, historical location on a bustling road within the famously chic North Laine, so you can enjoy the innumerable boutiques, restaurants, clubs, cinemas and theatres on foot. It's also conveniently located for the Pavilion which provides cool green spaces to relax during summer, and host numerous arts events all year round. For those who love the outdoors, the beach, surrounding downland and cosmopolitan Marina- with waterfront restaurants- are easy to reach, and for commuters, the station is quite literally on your doorstep serving Gatwick (23 minutes) and London (55), plus there's quick access to the A23/A27.
