Extensive storage is available via both a substantial cellar and large loft space, adding further practicality to an already impressive home.

Combining period elegance, generous proportions, five bedroom accommodation, exceptional outside space and the rare advantage of a full size garage and secure parking, No. 3 Powis Villas represents a unique opportunity to acquire one of Brighton and Hove's finest family homes in one of the city's most sought after locations.

History & Setting:
Hidden within one of Brighton's most architecturally distinguished enclaves, Powis Villas forms part of an exceptional collection of Grade II listed Victorian villas.

Adjacent is a second reception room, currently arranged as a cinema room and family snug. Complete with an integrated Bowers & Wilkins 5.1 surround sound system, it provides a warm and inviting retreat for relaxed evenings at home.
