Formed from the upper three floors of a substantial Victorian end of terrace. this generous four-bedroom property is ideal for families and professionals alike. It resides in one of the city’s most prestigious areas; in the leafy suburb to the east of Dyke Road, meaning it is perfectly placed for commuters by train or car.

Inside, it has been modernised throughout using a refined yet neutral palette, alongside contemporary fixtures and fittings, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease. Due to its hilltop location, its tall windows frame delightful, far-reaching views to the rear of the house across the trees, parks and rooftops of the city, over to the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park which form an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons. Preston Park Station, two beautiful parks, Brighton City Centre and several popular schools are within easy walking distance, so this property will be coveted by many.

Why you’ll like it:
The attractive terraces of Tivoli lie on the border between Brighton and Hove, equidistant from the city and the South Downs National Park. The family friendly community, commuter links and the proximity to several popular parks and schools have drawn people to live here for many years now, making it one of the most sought-after areas in the city.

Residing within a substantial, end of terrace Victorian house, this spacious maisonette feels more like a full house as it has its own street entrance and enjoys the generous room proportions that the period affords. While architecturally, the period features remain, the sashes have since been replaced with energy efficient double glazing, the wood floors have been carpeted and the fixtures and fittings are modern. Even below the immaculate aesthetic, the workings of the house have also been well-maintained, so it is sure to stand the test of time for many more years to come.

Stepping inside, you are greeted into a smart hallway with composite wood flooring underfoot and fresh white walls. It is naturally light due to stairwell and transom windows, and the ceiling is high throughout. First to the right, the living room has ample space for both relaxed seating and a small dining table and chairs within the bay or along the rear wall. Soft carpet feels homely, and a gas fire warms the space when needed. There is also gas central heating and new column radiators throughout the house for year-round warmth and hot water.

Next door, the bathroom is streamlined and stylish with marbled grey wall tiles around the bath and part-way up the walls. A rainfall shower sits over the bath and there is a contemporary heated rail for towels.

Passing a huge amount of under stairs storage, the kitchen sits to the rear of the building enjoying the first of the sensational views across the city. Your line of sight takes you over the green of Preston Park below open skies and is a lovely view to wash up to. There is plenty of storage in modern cabinetry, alongside an integrated oven, gas hob and microwave, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher – all of which may be available by separate negotiation.

Up on the first floor there are two beautiful double bedrooms, one facing the views to the east, while the other has a wide bay window framing views over the peaceful tree-lined street. Even with king beds and wardrobes, the floor space in these rooms is not compromised. They also share the immaculate décor of the rooms below, so you need not change a thing – while also enjoying free reign to put your own stamp on the place.

Bedroom three is a single room, ideal for a child or a tranquil home office, while the second floor houses the fourth bedroom/loft room. While this room cannot technically be used as a permanent sleeping area due to fire regulations, it is perfect as a second reception room, guest bedroom, hobby space or work room. Subject to planning, it would be easy to convert this space to a principal bedroom suite with a shower room and dormer window – certainly food for thought.

Agent’s thoughts:
This property is deceptively spacious being spread over three levels, so it feels more like a house than a maisonette. The décor throughout is immaculate and stylish and the views are second to none in the city.

Owners’ thoughts:
‘’It was the views which first attracted us to this property and the feeling of space which you get from the high ceilings and the three-storey layout. It has been a fantastic place to live, and as commuters we can be at the station in a couple of minutes which made the daily commute a breeze. We love being able to walk into the city or to the park, and there are lots of local amenities too.’

There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are also only a short walk or drive from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. The A23/A27 and Preston Park Station are also within easy reach, for those requiring fast links to the universities, Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis.
