3 Bed Mews Property House For Sale Norfolk Buildings, Brighton, BN1

One of Brighton's historic buildings with the original Georgian façade dating back to 1800, this house has been wonderfully maintained, and interior completely rebuilt to a very high standard 12 years ago in 2011 and has been further updated and enhanced by the current vendors. Once upon a time here there were two workman's cottages standing in isolation with extensive farmland running down to the sea, and now it is one stunning home.

We enter the front door, into the entrance hall, and immediately we are going to take a left turn which takes us into an expansive sociable space. There is a sash window with secondary glazing and plantation shutters at the front and a glass skylight over the kitchen, giving you an idea of the wonderful light that comes through.


The wooden flooring under foot, salvaged from the rebuild, shows the character of the original property. This open area is very well configured to give a lounge and dining space for a number of people which flows into the exceptional kitchen with its wide family breakfast bar.

The new kitchen is built around a long, wide and deep Quartz worktop. A bespoke selection of both eye and base level units. A NEFF 5 gas ring hod, with NEFF double oven, a floor to ceiling fridge as well as floor to ceiling freezer, more storage than one can describe, and really needs to be seen to be appreciated. Naturally, the kitchen also offers a further wine fridge to contain your favourite tipples.

Now, a major selling point of this house is the door that leads from the kitchen into the garage. Not just for storage, this garage will take a good size car with room to get out of it. The vendors are a very active couple so this is the perfect place to house a number of bikes, SUPs, wetsuits etc. Notably the vendors have had fitted a 16-point gigabit switch for exceptional internet connectivity, with a Cat 5 network throughout the house. Here you will also find the boiler, plumbing, space for a tumble drier and the consumer unit. The key factor here is having an actual functional garage in central Brighton which is worth its weight in gold!

Now we will head back to the entrance hall, so I can describe to you what awaits us upstairs.
We walk up the stairs, which have been well carpeted, with thick wearing carpet to the first floor.

The first room that we encounter is the family bathroom, which has a full Jacuzzi bath with separate shower head, double glazed windows to the rear, heated towel rail, low level WC, sink unit with storage below and a further towel rail.

The next room we enter, is the office/ nursery / guest bedroom, which offers a number of potential uses, with double glazed windows, plantation shutters and a radiator.

Moving down the corridor, we enter a spacious bedroom, a really good size double, with three south and west facing windows, all double glazed with plantation shutters, space of course for a large double bed, either freestanding or bespoke wardrobes, and plenty of space for a desk, so nice quiet place to work from home if need be.

The next bedroom is a perfect principal bedroom with two sash windows overlooking the private and peaceful mews frontage of the house, with secondary windows and plantation shutters. In one corner of the room, we have a walk-in wardrobe allowing plenty of hanging space, clothes, shoes, potentially home to everything.
In the other corner is the modern en-suite bathroom, with a large walk-in shower cubicle, with a rainfall shower head and separate shower attachment, fully tiled, with low level W.C., wash hand basin with storage below, and large heated towel rail. A further sash window overlooks the front so perfect for ventilation.

I cannot emphasise how much this home really needs to be seen to be appreciated!

Now even more delights to come, as we climb a further set of stairs to what I suggest would be the most spectacular drawing room. The ceiling height is 3.4 meters, to give you an idea of the stature of this room. No less than 4 double glazed French double doors lead out on to a vast roof terrace, with space and planning consent already attained for a fourth bedroom / home office, giving a further idea of the stature and class of this home.

The views from the roof terrace encompass the iconic art deco Embassy Court, and the engaging roof tops of Brunswick Terrace. Knowing full well that the sea is on the other side, importantly you are well protected here from the immediate seafront weather.

The roof terrace has a beautiful vertical evergreen plant wall with automated irrigation system which gives extra privacy and shade. Combining this with the large high quality automated awning which has inbuilt lighting and infrared heating, creates a dining area that allows for extended seasonal outdoor dining.

The wider area of this L-shaped terrace, which extends across the whole size of the property, is perfect for private sunbathing being south facing. The whole roof terrace is suited to hosting a significant number of people and often does, which is another reason that this property makes a wonderful home, being right in the heart of the city yet neatly tucked away.

Being seconds away from the seafront, the city's best restaurants and pubs and the city centre, this house would also make the perfect second home, as it offers the ideal place to come and relax and lose the stress of a working week.

Be it your full time or second home, the beauty of this house is that one can simply drive through the city up to the front door, the garage door will open and into your home you go, leaving the rest of the world behind.
Perfect.
