4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

DescriptionKNIGHT & KNOXLEY are delighted to present this exceptional semi-detached Victorian residence positioned on the prestigious Dyke Road, offering expansive accommodation, remarkable volume and far-reaching 180-degree sea views across Brighton & Hove. Set behind a generous frontage with off-street parking for multiple vehicles and two garages, this substantial home immediately establishes a sense of scale and presence. Arranged over three / four floors and extending to over 4,000 sqft, the property combines classic Victorian proportions with a carefully curated, design-led interior. The elevated position is a defining feature, with sweeping south-westerly views experienced not just from individual rooms but progressively as you move through the house, creating a constant connection to the city and coastline beyond. The ground floor works exceptionally well, with a sequence of spaces that feel both open and distinct. The principal reception room is elegant and calm, with high ceilings, large bay windows and a considered, design-led finish. From here, Crittall doors create a strong architectural moment, drawing you through to the dining area. Beyond, the house opens up into a more relaxed living space which connects directly with the garden terrace. This is a particularly special part of the home, with the elevated deck enjoying a leafy outlook and acting as a natural extension of the living space during warmer months. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and is both visually striking and highly functional. A substantial concrete island anchors the space, complemented by painted cabinetry, solid timber worktops and a range-style cooker. The proportions allow for genuine day-to-day use as well as entertaining, with excellent natural light from multiple aspects. Upstairs, the accommodation is equally well balanced. Four generous double bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, three of which enjoy elevated sea views. The principal suite occupies the top floor and feels notably private, with exposed brick gables, dual wardrobes and a bright, contemporary en-suite. The outlook from this level is particularly impressive, with uninterrupted views across the city to the sea. A further bedroom benefits from an en-suite, while the remaining rooms are all well-proportioned and consistent in finish. The family bathroom is a standout - clean-lined and thoughtfully designed, with herringbone marble floor, freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower and mid-century sink unit. The lower ground floor adds a layer of flexibility that is often missing in houses of this style. Currently used as a gym/storage space with direct garden access, it offers clear scope to adapt into a studio, workspace or additional accommodation depending on requirements. Externally, the property truly sets itself apart. The rear garden is unusually large for the area and has been designed with a distinctive, almost Mediterranean feel, with mature planting including palms, magnolia and seasonal colour creating a private, established setting. The south-westerly orientation ensures excellent sun throughout the day, while the depth and scale of the plot provide a rare sense of space and seclusion so close to the city centre. A second garage is positioned at the rear of the garden with access onto a back road, further enhancing the practicality of the property. Dyke Road remains one of Brighton's most sought-after addresses, offering excellent access to the city centre, the seafront and the South Downs, as well as being well positioned for a number of highly regarded schools. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, design-led home that combines period character with contemporary living, all underpinned by exceptional views, natural light and a genuinely usable layout.
