One of the tallest townhouses on Kemp Street, this characterful Victorian home offers space, light and flexibility in one of Brighton’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Just a three-minute walk from Brighton Station, it’s an ideal choice for commuters and equally well suited to a couple or growing family looking for room to live, work and spend time together.
High ceilings, a wide hallway and stripped original wooden floors create an immediate sense of openness, while large sash windows flood the house with natural light throughout the day. Secondary glazing on the ground and first floors adds everyday comfort without compromising the home’s period charm.
The lower ground floor open-plan kitchen and living space forms the heart of the home and works beautifully for modern family life. The kitchen features striking tiled flooring, generous storage including a large under-stairs cupboard, and neutral shaker-style units. Semi open-plan, the living area is warm and inviting, with built-in shelving and a wood burner creating the perfect setting for relaxed evenings or entertaining.
A real highlight is the flexibility of the ground floor layout. The generous front room works equally well as a bedroom, home office or playroom, ideal for home working or changing family needs. Built-in cupboards and shelving keep the space practical and clutter-free, while a Victorian tile-surround fireplace adds to the home’s character. A second bedroom sits quietly at the rear of the house overlooking the garden and features a beautiful stained-glass window.
From the half landing, a glazed door opens onto the private patio garden – a peaceful spot for a morning coffee or al-fresco dining. The garden enjoys sunshine through spring and summer until around mid-afternoon and is wonderfully low maintenance.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a calm and characterful retreat with excellent built-in storage and views over the colourful terraces of Kemp Street. The spacious bathroom is designed for slow mornings and long evenings, with a freestanding bath positioned to enjoy rooftop views, alongside a separate shower and elegant period detailing. A partially boarded loft provides valuable additional storage.
