Why you’ll like it:
Introduction:
Tivoli Crescent sits neatly tucked away within the attractive residential area to the east of Dyke Road; equidistant from the city and the South Downs National Park. The family friendly community, commuter links and OFSTED ‘outstanding’ schools have drawn people to live here for many years now, making it one of the most sought-after areas in the city.

Quintessentially Edwardian, this substantial red-brick house has wide box bay windows and a beamed gable. Stone steps lead up to the door which opens to a long entrance hall with high ceilings adorned with the original plasterwork cornicing. From the moment you enter, it is clear this is a beautifully maintained, spacious and stylish home.

Stepping into the living room, it is the light and the space you notice first. The box bay window almost covers the easterly wall framing the first glorious views over trees and rooftops below big, open skies. Dressed in white plantation shutters, the light can be filtered in, but being elevated from the street, it is perfectly private from passers-by.

Once two rooms, the main receptions have been opened to create one versatile space with ample room for dining, relaxation, working from home or for children to play, with space for the whole family to be together in the evening around a wood burning stove which warms the space beautifully.

Equally spacious the kitchen and dining room are streamlined spaces where both form and function have been considered at every turn. Brilliantly designed, the handle-free cabinetry sits at base level only which adds to the feeling of space while solid oak worktops echo the chevron wood flooring in the dining area. The range cooker has been seamlessly fitted alongside integrated appliances and French doors open to the slate patio for easy outdoor dining during summer.

Facing west but with an open aspect to the south, the garden is a real suntrap during the day and through to late afternoon in high season. Steps lead to the slate upper terrace where there is ample space for summer barbecues and sunbathing. Original border walls are festooned with climbing plants and a sweet olive tree provides some welcome dappled shade. For a Brighton house, this garden is average in size, but should you wish for a lawn to play ball games, there are two glorious parks within easy walking distance.

As with all rooms in this house, the bedrooms on the first floor are larger than many Edwardian homes, with high ceilings and a wealth of period features. Bedroom three sits to the rear looking out over the garden via a bay window, and bedroom two shares this sunny aspect, with a warm light filtering in during the afternoon. Both rooms are versatile doubles with ample space for king beds and freestanding furnishings.

Spanning the front of the house, the principal bedroom is restful with two sets of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space. From this elevated position within the house, the views across the city only improve and are a joy to wake up to each day. Mirroring the living room below it, the box bay window is shuttered allowing a gentle light to filter in during the morning.

Fully renovated in recent years, the family bathroom on the first floor is on trend with brushed gold fittings to include a heated towel rail to complete the scheme. The freestanding bath is organically curved with floor mounted taps, while the walk-in shower has a fixed glass wall and a ceiling mounted rainfall shower head.

Agent’s thoughts:
A stunning family home, both inside and out – this is a property which impresses from the moment you step foot through the door. The interior design is carefully considered and styled to celebrate the original character of the home while incorporating interior trends. While this home is immaculately presented and spacious as it stands, there remains further scope for extension into the loft space.
