Foundry Street,
Brighton

Guide price £475,000 - £500,000. Located in the North Laine Conservation Area is this unique two-bedroom home. It is well-presented, with a bespoke handmade kitchen and ample living space for a couple or a small family.

The Property

Every home in the North Laine offers something unique, and this one is no different. With high ceilings and industrial windows - it speaks to its heritage as an Iron Foundry workers' accommodation and has been brought up to date with clever design features.

Upon entering, you go through a door immediately to your left into a bright living room/kitchen that spans the length of the house. Hardwood floors flow through the space and there are defined areas for relaxing, dining, and cooking. A door at the back leads out into a neatly contained courtyard garden.

Tucked in perfectly at the back of the room is a bespoke kitchen handmade by designer David Ross. Olive-coloured doors are complemented by light wooden ones and silver ‘blob handles’ finish the look. The kitchen has handmade terracotta tiles on the floor, and textured tiles create the worktop. No expense has been spared and there is a boiling water and filter tap, a hob with a built-in extractor fan, a white butler sink, a dishwasher, and a washing machine.

Back in the entranceway, carpeted stairs lead upstairs onto a landing with exceptionally high ceilings. To the left is the ‘blue bedroom’ - painted in the most relaxing colour that hugs you as you walk in. Blue-painted shutters line the windows and a large ball light fitting fills the ceiling. There’s ample storage with a large built-in wardrobe and an internal window adds a quirky feature.

Next door is a spacious second bedroom which has shelving and space for a desk in front of the window - which overlooks the courtyard garden. At the rear of the property is a newly renovated shower room with lightly coloured speckled tiles on the floor and white tiles on the walls. There's a double rainfall shower and a modern wood vanity unit under the sink.

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

The Area

Foundry Street was named after the Regent Iron Foundry, which stood at the end of the street on North Road. It was the town’s largest employer for much of the nineteenth century and the houses on the street were originally occupied by foundry workers.

Foundry Street is just one of the historic roads that make up the North Laine in Brighton, which is adored by locals and tourists alike. Brimming with indie cafes, boutique shops, eateries, and pubs, it exudes a unique town-like charm. With a vibrant and caring local community, it's hailed as an exceptional place to live, offering endless ways to spend your days and the occasional street party in the summer!

Brighton's famous seafront, featuring the iconic pier, pebbled beaches, and scenic promenades, is just half a mile away.

Transport Links

Just a brief four-minute stroll from Brighton mainline station, this property is ideal for London commuters or those who like to get out of the city on occasion. London Bridge can be reached directly in just under an hour and ten minutes and Gatwick Airport in half an hour. Plus, permit-holder parking spaces are available right outside the house for those with a car.

Schools

Brighton isn’t short of good schools for children of all ages and Foundry Street is well situated for easy access to a number of them. Brighton Girls independent school is a fifteen-minute walk away and Brighton College can be reached in eight minutes by car. Local state schools include St Mary Magdalen’s Catholic Primary & Nursery School, St Paul’s C of E School, Cardinal Newman Catholic School and Sixth Form, and BHASVIC College.
