4 Bed Detached House For Sale

An attractive and substantial late Victorian, semi-detached, four-bedroom house (previously five and could be reversed) measuring 215 sq. m/2251 sq. ft. The property benefits from a private, generously sized and lawned rear garden which measures 16.5 m/55 ft long, and delightful views from the upper floors across Kemp Town to the sea beyond. Perched in a slightly elevated position opposite Brighton College, this charming abode retains many of its original features and the high ceilings and large windows allow lots of natural light to pour in, giving a real sense of space.

Set back from the hustle and bustle yet also in proximity of the vibrant Kemp Town Village and all it has to offer, including an array of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. As well as the open green space of nearby Queens Park, there is a wooded country path directly behind the house which leads up to the Downs with wonderful far-reaching views out to Seaford Head to the east and Worthing pier to the west – perfect for dog walkers, blackberry pickers and anyone who enjoys the wild countryside. With highly regarded schools such as Brighton College and St Luke’s nearby, this would make an ideal family home.
