Coventry Street,
Brighton

Guide price £750,000 - £800,000. This Victorian terraced house is located in a highly desirable area and has been renovated to an extremely high standard. With accommodation spread over three floors and a patio garden, it is a spacious family home.

The Property

This stunning Victorian house sits at the end of the terrace, with a fresh white façade adorned with the quintessential architectural features of the period. Plants add a touch of colour, and shuttered windows give a glimpse of the style inside.

You enter through the brand new dark blue front door into a porch, where it is immediately clear that time and effort has gone into sensitively refurbishing the house - ensuring the original character of the building has been retained. The ceilings are high, and the skirting boards are wide. Engineered oak flooring flows throughout the ground floor, and the choice of paint colours is exceptional.

Off the hallway, the deep olive green painted living room draws you in. Shutterly Fabulous shutters dress the large bay window at the front, providing privacy and style. A sitting area is defined by the original fireplace and sleek black Eko Gas ‘flue less’ stove. Another zone at the far end of the living room is defined by bookshelves that line the walls, and bespoke storage has been built-in for a seamless finish. This additional space lends itself nicely to a reading nook, a children’s play area, or a more formal dining area.

The sleek kitchen can be entered from the hallway, through an original door that has been transformed with yellow paint, or via the living room down a couple of steps. The space is lit with natural light from a vaulted ceiling with a Velux window and is a welcoming and sociable space to spend time in. Cream gloss cupboards line the walls and are topped with a solid oak worktop. A geometric yellow backsplash is complemented by a yellow panelled wall. There’s a Rangemaster oven, a tall fridge/freezer, and a tower-stacked Bosch washing machine and tumble dryer.

Sliding doors lead outside to the patio garden - which is a real suntrap in the summer. With sandstone paving it is low-maintenance but there’s plenty of space for potted plants and a table for dining al-fresco.

Plush grey carpets lead the way to the first-floor landing and to the bathroom which is directly ahead. It has been tastefully decorated with a dark parquet floor (with underfloor heating), white subway tiles, and dark plum painted walls. There’s a claw-foot bath, a traditional-style towel rail, and a double walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead. There is a large store cupboard next door, and bedrooms two and three can be found on the upper landing.

Both rooms are sizable doubles with carpet underfoot and plenty of built-in storage for books and clothes. The room to the rear offers views out over the rooftops, and the room at the front has a large bay window that mirrors the one in the living room below. Painted in a deep blue and with accents of brass, this room offers a sophisticated feel that matches the ornately tiled original Victorian fireplace.

On the top floor, secluded from the rest of the house, is a bright, spacious, and quiet double bedroom with a luxurious en-suite shower room tucked away under the pitch of the roof. Two Velux windows allow sunlight to beam into the room and a Juliette balcony with French doors presents spectacular views across Brighton. A desk is currently set up in front of the balcony, providing a serene place to work from home.

This property is Freehold and the council tax band is D.

The Area

This property is positioned on a residential street in one of the most desirable areas to live in Brighton. The quiet streets of Victorian terraces are attractive, and perfectly located to access the delights of the city on foot. Just around the corner, there is a parade of shops with an excellent cafe, a gastropub, and a newsagent/convenience store. The bustling Seven Dials, which is renowned for its diverse selection of locally owned bars, delis, cafes, and restaurants is just a ten-minute walk away. Brighton city centre is less than a mile away, and the seafront with its pebbled beaches, infamous pier, and amenities can be reached on foot in under half an hour.

There’s a strong sense of community here, and the neighbours look out for one another. Which is one of the reasons the current family isn't looking to move too far away.

Schools

Brighton isn’t short of good schools for children of all ages and Coventry Street is in the catchment area for several high-achieving schools. Stanford Junior School is located right next door, and Windlesham School and Nursery, Stanford Infant School, Cardinal Newman Catholic School & Sixth Form, and BHASVIC College are a short walk away. Brighton Girls Independent School is a fifteen-minute walk away, and Brighton College can be reached in twelve minutes by car.

Transport Links

This property is located 0.7 miles from Brighton mainline station, making it highly convenient for London commuters. Brighton city centre is approximately 1 mile away where you can find regular bus services to all parts of the city. For those with a car, there is on-street permit holder parking. The A27 with its links along the south coast and north towards London is just 2.5 miles away.
