3 bed terraced house for sale

Lorne Road, Brighton BN1

Description

Knight & knoxley are delighted to present this beautifully styled three-bedroom Victorian home on Lorne Road, positioned in the heart of Preston Circus and arranged across three floors.

Behind its soft pastel façade, this is a home with real warmth and personality. Period proportions sit alongside a thoughtfully updated interior, with high ceilings, decorative detailing, shutters, original fireplaces and a considered use of colour throughout.

The ground floor opens into a hallway, with the living room positioned at the front of the house. This is a calm and characterful room, centred around a wood burner and framed by a bay window with fitted shutters. Soft tones and ceiling detailing give the room a warm, elegant feel, while the proportions allow for comfortable seating and everyday family living.

To the rear, the kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home. Extending across the full width of the house, it is a beautifully sociable space with room for a large dining table, relaxed seating and day-to-day entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with white cabinetry, timber worktops, a statement tiled splashback, range-style cooker and a freestanding retro-style fridge, while rooflights and glazed doors draw in excellent natural light and create a natural connection with the garden.

The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private outdoor retreat- recently redesigned by 'Fern & Pine' and featured on their website. Steps lead up from the kitchen to a paved terrace, with planted borders, mature greenery and a further seating area set beneath a parasol. It is a peaceful and usable space, well suited to summer dining, morning coffee or quiet evenings outside.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a beautifully finished bathroom/wet room. The front bedroom is a generous double, while the second bedroom is currently arranged as a study overlooking the garden, making it ideal for working from home, a nursery or guest space. The bathroom has a particularly strong finish, with a freestanding roll-top bath, walk-in shower, wall panelling and beautiful tiling that gives the room a refined, relaxed feel.

The top floor is given over to a further bedroom with an en-suite shower room and eaves storage. The room is light and practical, with a Velux window, space for a double bed and a desk area, making it a flexible space for guests, older children, or those wanting a more private work-from-home set-up.

Lorne Road is moments from Preston Circus, known by most as home to The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's much-loved cinema. 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 and delicious food. There are great local pubs and restaurants including the Open House, Signalman, The Joker, The Hare and Hounds, The World's End and the Roundhill, all close by, to name but a few! The property is ideally located for commuters, as Brighton Mainline station is a short walk away, with fast services to London Bridge and Victoria, which arrive in London in less than an hour. London Road station, which is even closer, has services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes will take you straight into town, including the 5,5A and 5B. There are excellent schools nearby; Downs Infant and Junior schools are a short walk and the house is also in catchment for the extremely popular Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools. Two parks are nearby; The Level to the south has a café, children's play area and a fantastic skate park. Preston Park to the north has large open spaces, a children's playground, tennis courts, a velodrome and two places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat - the Rotunda Café or the Chalet Café.
