Set on a pedestrianised street in the North Laine, this three-storey period house puts you right in the middle of Brighton, while feeling surprisingly private once inside.
Dating from the 1840s and extending to approximately 110 sq m, there is a lot of house here for such a central address. The layout is spread across three floors, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two separate outside spaces.
From the entrance porch, the house opens into a long living room running from front to back. Windows at either end bring light through the space, with wood-effect flooring and an electric fireplace keeping things warm and welcoming. Its proportions allow for more than one use, whether that is a large sitting room or somewhere to incorporate a desk or reading area.
A half landing leads down to a room currently arranged as a bedroom, although its position and direct access outside make it an easy space to adapt. Double doors open onto the patio garden, while a shower room alongside includes a WC, wash basin and space for a washing machine.
The lower ground floor is almost entirely open plan, with the kitchen at one end and plenty of room for a large dining table at the other. White gloss cabinetry is paired with a central island, double ovens, five-ring gas hob, wine fridge and Quookerthree-in-one tap. It is a generous, practical room with enough space for people to gather.
Back upstairs, the family bathroom sits on the half landing, with both a bath and separate shower.
The top floor has two further bedrooms. At the front, the bedroom looks down over the pedestrianised street, with deep built-in wardrobes either side of the bed. The second bedroom sits to the rear and gives access to the roof terrace – a welcome second outside space in the middle of the city.

The Area
This is Brighton at its most distinctive. Set within the North Laine Conservation Area, the house sits on a pedestrianised street surrounded by one of the city's best collections of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and creative businesses.
The North Laine is the kind of neighbourhood where daily life can happen almost entirely on foot. Coffee shops, bakeries and neighbourhood restaurants sit alongside vintage stores, independent boutiques, record shops and galleries, while Brighton Dome, Komedia and the Royal Pavilion are all just a short walk away.
Continue south and the Lanes, seafront and Palace Pier are within easy reach, while Churchill Square and the wider city centre provide everything needed for day-to-day shopping.
Despite being right in the middle of Brighton, the house itself feels tucked away from the main thoroughfares. That balance makes it particularly appealing as a permanent city home, Brighton bolt-hole or easy lock-up-and-leave.
Transport Links
Brighton Mainline Station is approximately 0.4 miles away, making the house particularly well placed for commuters, with regular direct services towards London, Gatwick Airport and destinations along the south coast.
With such a central address, much of Brighton and Hove can be reached on foot or by bicycle, while numerous bus routes operate nearby. For journeys further afield, the A23 provides access towards Gatwick and London, with the A27 connecting Brighton with the wider Sussex coast and surrounding countryside.
