Description

Guide Price £675,000 - £700,000

knight & knoxley are delighted to present this exceptional four-bedroom Victorian home on Argyle Road; a beautifully considered period property extending to approximately 1,558 sq. Ft and arranged across three floors, with a rich, considered Farrow & Ball colour palette, bespoke finishes and a striking contemporary kitchen extension opening onto a landscaped rear garden.

From the street, the house has immediate presence. The deep teal exterior, pink front door, bay windows, and decorative detailing create a bold yet elegant first impression. Inside, the house balances period architecture with confident contemporary design, combining high ceilings, timber floors, original fireplaces, decorative mouldings and a warm, expressive use of colour throughout.

The ground floor opens into a welcoming hallway with patterned tiled flooring and colour-drenched walls, leading through to a beautifully atmospheric front reception room. Positioned around the bay window, the living room is full of character, with plantation shutters, exposed floorboards, deep-toned walls, an ornate fireplace surround and wood-burning stove. It is a room with real depth and personality, suited equally to relaxed evenings and more intimate entertaining.

Beyond this, the dining room forms a natural centre point to the house. Rich ochre walls, an exposed brick chimney breast with a second wood-burner and direct connection to the garden create a distinctive and sociable space, with enough room for a large dining table. The layout is something more unusual for a home of this style, with the dining room directly connected to the kitchen rather than feeling separate from it.

The kitchen/breakfast room provides a more contemporary contrast. Full-height glazing and bi-fold doors open directly onto the courtyard garden, drawing in natural light and connecting the house beautifully with the outside space. The kitchen is fitted with sleek timber-fronted cabinetry, solid pale worktops, integrated appliances, black fittings and a large central island with breakfast bar seating. It is a practical and stylish everyday space, with excellent storage, a utility area and ground-floor WC positioned beyond.

The garden is a real highlight. Designed across a series of levels, it offers a private and atmospheric setting beginning with a paved courtyard immediately outside the kitchen and dining room. The next level offers planted borders, mature greenery, tropical-style planting, timber screening, a decked seating area and further space beyond. It has been thoughtfully designed to feel like an extension of the living space, with different areas for morning coffee, outdoor dining and evening drinks. The elevated position also gives the garden a lovely outlook, with the nearby viaduct adding a distinctly Brighton backdrop.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The front bedroom is particularly striking, with a wide bay window, fitted shutters, built-in wardrobes, a deep aubergine colour palette, chandelier lighting and an ornate period fireplace. Two further bedrooms sit to the rear and middle of the floor, both well suited as bedrooms, children's rooms, guest rooms or home office spaces, depending on need. The family bathroom is finished in a contemporary style, with green textured tiling, bath with shower over, modern vanity unit and natural light.

The second floor is dedicated to a generous additional bedroom suite, extending across the upper level. This is a bright and spacious room with rooflights, eaves storage, room for a large bed and freestanding furniture, and a calm outlook over the surrounding greenery. An en-suite shower room sits alongside, finished with white tiling, patterned floor tiles, a walk-in shower enclosure and modern fittings.

Argyle Road is a short stroll from Preston Park, which has large open spaces, tennis courts, a velodrome and two places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat - the Rotunda Café or the Chalet Café. The Argyle Arms is on your doorstep, which was voted the Best Pub in East Sussex in the National Bar & Pub Awards 2025. The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's much-loved independent cinema, is moments away at Preston Circus, screening a huge variety of films throughout the week. A short stroll down London Road will bring you to the vibrant Open Market, which is home to independent shops, artist's studios and plaza traders with stalls selling handmade arts and crafts, delicious food and much more. There are other great local pubs and restaurants including The Joker, Open House, Signalman, Jolly Brewer, Preston Park Tavern and the Roundhill, all close by, to name but a few! The newest addition to the area is the already much-talked-about Luna Hut Sauna Café, where you can enjoy a sauna and coffee under the viaduct. The property is ideally located for commuters, as Brighton Mainline station is a short walk away with direct services to London Bridge and Victoria, which arrive in London in less than an hour. Even closer is London Road station with services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes run close by including the 5,5A and 5B which will take you straight into town.
