About this property

A characterful and extended Victorian terraced home on a highly desirable street in the North Laines Conservation Area, 0.2 miles from the station

Situated on a vibrant terrace in a fantastic setting close to the centre of Brighton, this elegant Victorian home has character in spades. The attached property is beautifully presented inside and out and has been extensively renovated by the vendors: highlights include limewashed walls, an antique glass door, stripped floorboards and lovely tiled floors inside and out. There are lots of original features though the fixtures and fittings are all modern, including underfloor heating in the contemporary kitchen, fitted shutters and a gorgeous bathroom with a rolltop bath.

The accommodation is arranged over the three floors and is light and spacious – on the ground floor, the main living space is open plan, beginning with a living room with bay window and wood-burning stove at the front of the house, a dining room in the middle and a bright and modern white gloss kitchen at the rear opening to the garden. The main bedroom on the first floor has an original Victorian fireplace, fitted storage and cast-iron radiator; there’s also a second bedroom and the main bathroom on this floor. The top floor has two more double bedrooms and a lovely view out over the rooftops of Brighton.

Outside
Despite being so central to The Laines, the setting is fantastically peaceful and the conservation area ensures the surrounding streets will remain characterful for years to come. There’s on-street parking on Kensington Place (permit required, zone Y) and a multi-storey car park handily situated at the end of the road for visitors. Outside the front of the house there is a pretty brick garden enclosed by a low wall, while to the rear there’s a west-facing courtyard-style garden with built-in seating and a number of shrubs.

Situation
Kensington Place is a charming street of terraced houses conveniently situated in the North Laines and very close to Brighton train station (0.2 miles). It’s a fantastic position for enjoying all of the independent cafes, shops and bars of The Laines, and is half a mile to the Churchill Square Shopping Centre and a few hundred metres further to the seafront. Carlton Hill and Queen’s Park primary schools are within half a mile, while much of Brighton and Hove’s array of excellent schooling can be reached on foot or by public transport.
