Rugby Place is a residential road on the eastern side of Kemptown, just north of Bristol Gardens. It’s only a ten-minute walk from the seafront and the popular Reading Room café, making it easy to enjoy your seaside location. Kemptown’s independent shops, bars, cafés, pubs and restaurants are close by, and all the amenities at the Marina are also within easy reach, including Asda, Brighton Cineworld and Hollywood Bowl. The area is well served by bus routes running along Eastern Road.

A wonderfully bright and spacious three-bedroom Victorian house arranged over four floors, with generous reception spaces on both the ground and lower ground levels. This striking red-brick home makes a strong first impression, with square bay windows on all three storeys. From the front path, there are stairs down to a lower ground floor entrance, while the main entrance on the ground floor is set back under a storm porch.

Inside, a welcoming hallway leads to the living room on the right-hand side. Originally two separate rooms, this expansive space now stretches over six metres in length and is flooded with natural light. Original floorboards have been exposed, and there’s a cast-iron fireplace with tiled inset, flanked by a fitted pine cupboard. At the front, the square bay houses two west-facing sash windows, while a further large sash at the rear overlooks the garden. The walls are painted a fresh white and have been recently redecorated.

On the lower ground floor, you’ll find a light-filled kitchen/breakfast room with white-painted floorboards and white walls. The kitchen cabinetry is made from natural ply and topped with wooden work surfaces. There’s space for a freestanding cooker and a wide, white ceramic sink with twin bowls and a chrome swan-neck tap. A wooden plate rack sits above the sink, with open shelving on either side. The washing machine is housed separately in a utility cupboard off the hallway. At the front of the room is a generous space that could accommodate a dining table and chairs, or be used as an informal seating area. A glazed door from the kitchen opens directly onto the secluded rear garden, where there is a pebble-covered area and planted borders containing mature shrubs. Small trees in neighbouring gardens enhance the sense of privacy and greenery. An outhouse provides useful storage for garden furniture.

Also on this level is the main bathroom, which includes a white suite with a bath and shower attachment. A mosaic-tiled unit holds the hand basin with cupboard storage below, and there’s a separate built-in cupboard for towels and toiletries.
