About this property
Situated in a highly sought-after residential area
Close to Fiveways, Preston Park, and excellent local schools
Beautifully renovated three-bedroom period home
Dual-aspect living and dining room with open fireplace
Modern kitchen with integrated appliances
Private walled rear garden with lawn
Principal bedroom with Victorian fireplace and period charm
Two further bedrooms, including versatile home office/nursery
Modern bathroom with full-sized bath with shower over
Potential to extend into the loft, subject to planning permission
This is a home suited to buyers looking for a well-finished space that works around their lifestyle. Thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners, this three-bedroom period house blends character, clever layout and modern design into a space that feels light, open and effortless from the moment you step inside.
The ground floor has been reconfigured to create a natural flow that suits modern living, whether that’s busy family life, home working or entertaining friends. A bright dual-aspect living and dining space draws light from the bay window at the front right through to the kitchen at the rear. Plantation shutters, restored cornicing, ceiling roses and an open fire add warmth and personality, while built-in storage keeps everything practical and uncluttered.
Located off the reception room to the rear of the property is a navy shaker-style kitchen with marble-effect worktops, integrated appliances and characterful open shelving. Double doors connect seamlessly to the rear garden, flooding the space with light and creating an easy indoor-outdoor feel that works beautifully in warmer months. The walled garden is easy to maintain and offers a private outdoor extension of the living space, perfect for unwinding when the weather allows.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits at the front overlooking the street, full of natural light and period charm, including a striking Victorian fireplace. A second double bedroom sits centrally and overlooks the garden, while the rear room is currently used as a calm home office but would work just as well as a nursery or guest bedroom. The bathroom is finished in a sleek contemporary style, offering a full-sized bath with shower over.
Storage has been thoughtfully integrated throughout, including under-stair space and built-in cupboards in both the living areas and bedrooms. For buyers thinking ahead, there is clear potential to extend into the loft, subject to planning permission, with scope to add two further bedrooms and a bathroom.
This is a design-led home that balances style and practicality, ideal for a couple or growing family looking for space, flexibility and a house that is ready to enjoy from day one.

The Area
Balfour Road sits in one of Brighton’s most popular residential pockets, well known for its strong community feel and easy access to everyday amenities. Independent shops, cafés and local favourites can be found nearby along Preston Drove and in Fiveways, both within comfortable walking distance. Green space is a real highlight here, with Hollingbury Golf Course, Blakers Park and Preston Park close by offering tennis courts, playgrounds and open areas for walking, running or relaxed weekends outdoors. Despite the neighbourhood feel, Brighton city centre remains easily accessible on foot, by bike or bus, giving you the best of both residential calm and city convenience.
Schools
The property is well placed for several highly regarded schools, making it particularly attractive to families. Local primary options include Balfour Primary School and Hertford Junior School. Secondary schools Dorothy Stringer and Varndeanare both within walking distance, along with Varndean College. Bhasvic is also conveniently accessible, offering strong sixth form provision nearby.
Transport Links
Transport connections are excellent for both local travel and commuting. Preston Park station is a mile away and can be reached on foot in around fifteen minutes, providing regular services to Brighton, London and beyond. Frequent bus routes run along Ditchling Road and Preston Drove, connecting you to the city centre in around twenty minutes. For drivers, the A27 is easily accessible, linking to the wider road network along the south coast and towards London. Gatwick Airport is approximately a half-hour drive, with Heathrow reachable in just over an hour.
