About this property
Set within a quiet terrace in the heart of Kemp Town, this exceptional Grade II listed Regency townhouse has been extensively and sensitively reimagined to create a home of considerable character, warmth and understated luxury.
Arranged across four expansive levels and extending to over 1,900 sq ft, the house unfolds as a series of beautifully balanced spaces where grand original proportions meet carefully considered contemporary updates. Despite its central setting, the atmosphere throughout is notably calm, with a surprisingly green outlook and a sense of retreat just moments from the seafront and Kemp Town Village.
The entrance hall provides an immediate sense of arrival, with richly toned herringbone flooring drawing the eye through to an elegant formal reception and dining room. Here, a classic Regency bow sash window with original shutters overlooks the gardens beyond, while ornate cornicing, a central ceiling rose and marble fireplace preserve the home’s architectural integrity. Exceptional natural light and the current owners’ artistic curation lend the room an almost gallery-like quality.
Beyond an original folding timber screen lies a second reception room – currently arranged as an intimate reading room and study – equally generous in proportion and overlooking the rear garden. Original fireplaces, fitted storage and coved ceilings continue the quiet grandeur found throughout the house, while the flexibility of this room also offers potential as an additional bedroom if required.
The ground floor bathroom has been dramatically reinvented with the feel of a boutique hotel spa: marble-lined walls, hand-applied Venetian plaster, a petrified wood basin and an oversized rainfall shower combine to memorable effect.
On the half landing, the kitchen has been transformed into a beautifully functional design statement. Bespoke freestanding stainless steel units by Vogue are paired with a brand new Rangemaster cooker and Quooker tap system, introducing an appealing note of industrial precision against the home’s Regency backdrop.
A few steps above, the principal first floor reception room is one of the house’s standout spaces. Double French doors open onto a private balcony with open sea views – a calm vantage point from which to take in both the coastline and the quiet elegance of the street below. Herringbone flooring continues underfoot, while a substantial marble fireplace anchors the room. To the rear, a further dining or working area is framed by a striking full-height Oriel window overlooking the garden.
Across the upper floors are two bedrooms and a further family bathroom, with the generously-sized principal bedroom overlooking Crescent Place and the second enjoying a quieter rear aspect. New carpets, extensive redecoration, upgraded electrics, boarded loft storage and excellent integrated cupboards throughout all contribute to the home’s impressive practicality.
At lower ground level, a substantial additional bedroom suite or studio space offers exceptional flexibility, complete with original feature fireplace, adjoining WC and direct access to the private courtyard garden. On this level, there’s also a well-appointed utility room.
The result is a house of rare duality: architecturally grand yet deeply comfortable, expressive yet highly functional, and – perhaps most unusually for such a central Brighton address – wonderfully quiet.
