Why you’ll like it:
Tucked away in one of the most desirable areas surrounding Preston Park, just a short walk from Preston Park station with its direct links to London Gatwick and central London, this substantial Edwardian home combines timeless character, generous proportions and exciting scope to personalise. Owned by the same family for many years, it has been a much-loved home and retains a warm, welcoming feel throughout. While a number of period features remain, it also presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to update and enhance at their own pace, blending modern style with the home’s existing charm.

Stepping inside, the classic Edwardian layout unfolds with a real sense of space and light. The reception areas are well-proportioned and filled with natural light, with high ceilings and large windows typical of the era creating an airy atmosphere. The ground floor flows naturally, offering flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining-whether arranged as a formal living and dining space or opened up for a more contemporary feel. To the rear, the kitchen overlooks the garden and, while practical as it stands, offers clear potential to be transformed into a stylish kitchen-diner, perfectly positioned for indoor-outdoor living with direct access to the garden.

Arranged over the upper two floors are four well-sized bedrooms along with a further smaller bedroom, all enjoying pleasant outlooks and good natural light. The three-storey layout provides excellent flexibility for growing families, guest accommodation or home working, with a natural separation between living and sleeping spaces. The bathroom facilities are well placed and entirely functional, with scope to update over time to suit individual taste. In addition, an undeveloped loft accessed from one of the upper bedrooms offers excellent potential for conversion, adding further flexibility and value.

Outside, the rear garden provides a peaceful extension of the home, with a balance of patio and planting offering plenty of space to relax, dine or entertain. Mature greenery enhances the sense of privacy, while also offering a great foundation for further landscaping. A particular highlight is the separate garage-an increasingly valuable feature in this central location-ideal for secure parking, storage or alternative uses.

Having remained in the same ownership for over five decades, the property carries a genuine sense of history and care. It has been well maintained throughout and, while some decorative updating would elevate it further, it already offers a comfortable and characterful living environment. Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Edwardian home with both charm and potential, ready to be tailored to suit modern living while preserving its original character.

What’s around you:
• Shops: Local amenities and convenience stores nearby
• Station: Preston Park Station within easy reach for links to London
• Green space: Preston Park just moments away
• City centre: A short journey into central Brighton
• Schools: Well-regarded primary and secondary options close by

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a handsome Edwardian home in a prime Preston Park location-offering space, character and the chance to make it your own.

Comfortable from day one yet full of potential for a thoughtful revamp, it is perfectly suited to buyers seeking a long-term home with both charm and flexibility in one of Brighton’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
