Buxton Road, Brighton, BN1

One of just a handful of exquisite homes in the city designed by renowned architect Thomas Simpson between 1894 and 1895, this semi-detached five-bedroom residence combines period elegance with contemporary comfort. From the leafy, welcoming frontage to the sunny, peaceful garden at the rear, the property radiates timeless charm. Adorned with intricate terracotta detailing, the façade hints at the architectural beauty within. Spanning approximately 150m² (1,600 sq. ft.) across three storeys, the interior includes a beautifully proportioned living and dining room filled with character, and a bright, sociable kitchen-breakfast room that opens directly onto a private walled garden—secluded and not directly overlooked. Also on the ground floor are a practical utility room and a convenient shower room, making this home as functional as it is beautiful. Upstairs, three spacious double bedrooms offer excellent storage and flexibility for modern family living. The principal bedroom spans the front of the house, offering restful proportions and fitted wardrobes flanking a classic Victorian fireplace—an inviting retreat at the end of the day. The top floor features a charming rear bedroom with inspiring views across a patchwork of gardens, while the fifth bedroom at the front provides a quiet and versatile sanctuary, ideal as a guest room, office or creative space. Throughout the property, stylish modern finishes complement a wealth of original features, creating a warm and welcoming home with both character and convenience. Set on the desirable Buxton Road in the popular Prestonville district,  known for its strong community feel, you're just a short walk from the vibrant Seven Dials with its array of independent cafés, pubs, shops and everyday essentials. The property falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded Stanford Schools and several excellent secondary schools, with BHASVIC College just around the corner. Brighton Station is less than a mile away, offering direct links to London and Gatwick—perfect for commuters and city explorers alike.
