Gladstone Terrace, Brighton BN2

Description

Guide Price: £350,000 - £375,000

knight & knoxley are delighted to present this beautifully characterful split-level apartment arranged across the first and second floors of an elegant Victorian building on Gladstone Terrace.

Set behind a handsome period façade and entered via a communal hallway, the property unfolds with a strong sense of personality, generous proportions and a carefully considered palette throughout. Original pine floorboards, traditional column radiators, decorative fireplaces and rich, considered tones give the home a distinctive feel, balancing period warmth with a more creative, contemporary edge.

The first floor is home to a bright and atmospheric living room, where a high ceiling, decorative ceiling rose, stripped floorboards and large bay sash windows create a wonderful sense of volume and light. The room is full of character, with deep green walls, original detailing and a decorative fireplace forming a natural focal point.

Also on this level is the kitchen, a welcoming and practical space with original floorboards, a tall sash window and room for a table. It is well equipped with an oven, gas hob, extractor, microwave and dishwasher, while the period fireplace adds further charm and gives the room a more relaxed, lived-in feel than a standard kitchen.

The bathroom is positioned off the half landing and includes a bath with shower over, wash basin and fitted storage. There is also space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, with the combi boiler housed within the bathroom cupboard. A separate WC sits alongside, complete with its own small basin and cupboard.

On the second floor are two spacious double bedrooms. The larger bedroom has a calm yet striking feel, with rich red walls, exposed floorboards, and a decorative fireplace. The second double bedroom is also well proportioned and would work equally well as a bedroom, guest room or generous home office, depending on need.

To the rear of the building is a mature garden area, which is understood to belong to the freeholder and does not form part of the leasehold title or the sale. Historically, it has been informally accessed and shared with the downstairs neighbour.

The space itself has a wonderfully leafy, almost hidden quality, with established planting, mature trees, old flint and brick boundary walls and a sense of calm that feels surprisingly removed from the city around it.

Gladstone Terrace sits in a highly convenient position between Roundhill, London Road and Preston Circus, placing some of Brighton's best everyday amenities within easy reach. The Open Market, independent cafés, pubs and local shops are all close by, while the Duke of York's Picturehouse is just moments away at Preston Circus. London Road Station and Brighton Station are both accessible on foot, with regular bus routes nearby into the city centre, towards the seafront and across Brighton & Hove. For green space, The Level, Preston Park and Blakers Park are all within easy reach, giving the location a strong balance of city convenience, community feel and access to open space.
