Opportunities of this scale, character and flexibility are exceptionally rare in Brighton. Behind its handsome double-fronted façade, this impressive four-storey period home spans just under 4,000 sq ft, offering extraordinary space, elegant proportions and one of the largest south-facing gardens in Kemptown.

The property benefits from planning permission for a Change of Use from a hotel to private residential dwelling, giving buyers the immediate ability to transform it into one of the area’s most exceptional family homes—blending Regency grandeur with generous modern living. Equally, the option remains to retain the current guest house operation or to combine home and business, making this a uniquely adaptable opportunity.

Currently arranged as nine individually designed bedroom suites, the layout provides superb scope to create a luxurious residence with multiple reception rooms, generous bedroom suites, dedicated workspace and outstanding entertaining areas. Many beautiful period features remain—tall bay windows, ornate plasterwork, high ceilings and abundant natural light—offering remarkable potential for a sophisticated reimagining of the interior.

On the lower ground floor, a spacious two-bedroom self-contained apartment with two reception rooms provides exceptional versatility: an ideal private annexe, multigenerational living space, staff accommodation or an attractive income-producing rental. Both the apartment and the main house enjoy direct access to the substantial south-facing garden—a rare sun-filled retreat this close to the seafront, perfect for outdoor dining, play, relaxation or future landscaping projects.

Set just behind Brighton’s iconic beach and moments from the vibrant energy of Kemptown Village, the home benefits from an unrivalled lifestyle location. Brighton College, artisan cafés, boutique restaurants, independent shops and daily amenities are all just steps away, while Soho House, the Marina and the Lanes are within easy reach.

With its impressive scale, elegant architecture and newly granted residential planning consent—combined with the flexibility to continue operating as a boutique guest house—this landmark building offers a truly unique opportunity. Whether as a magnificent private residence, a prestigious live–work home or an ongoing hospitality venture, it invites its next custodians to create something spectacular in one of Brighton’s most desirable coastal neighbourhoods.
