Cheltenham Place, Brighton

Hamlyn Smith is thrilled to bring to the market this delightful two bedroom Victorian cottage, nestled in a quiet one-way street in the North Laine conservation area. This characterful home has been lovingly restored by the current owner. In the reception room, which has wooden painted floorboards, the reclaimed Victorian fireplace has been given a contemporary burst of colour with a yellow surround. The original sash windows have been dressed with bespoke shutters, and vintage-style radiators installed. There are Farrow & Ball colours throughout the house, in perfect keeping with both the age of the property and its contemporary styling. In the kitchen, there are charming shaker-style cupboards with a vintage enamel sink and oak work surfaces, and the kitchen opens onto an L shaped courtyard garden which is 7 meters in length and has a westerly aspect, benefitting from the afternoon sun. Upstairs has been recently carpeted; there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a gorgeous Burlington Victorian style bathroom suite. The rear bedroom overlooks the garden, while the master bedroom at the front runs the full width of the property and has a built-in cupboard, and shutters on the sash window bay. The house also benefits from a new boiler that still has eight years to run on the guarantee.

Although this is a quiet road, it is a stone’s throw from three of Brighton’s most popular pubs; the Basketmakers Arms, The Fountain Head, and The Eagle, and you will be living right in the bohemian heart of the city, moments away from shops, restaurants, theatres, pubs, and cafes. Brighton Museum and Art gallery is on your doorstep and you will of course be less than 15 minutes stroll from the seafront.
