6 bed detached house for sale

Balfour Road, Brighton BN1

A truly enchanting detached Edwardian home, quietly secluded and set well back from the road, with a wonderfully private and established garden creating an immediate sense of peace and seclusion. The house has been in the same family since 1976 and has become a popular venue as an Artists Open House during the Brighton Festival. Offering versatile accommodation, this exceptional property combines the character of a handsome period home with the space and flexibility required for modern family life.

Approached through the enchanting front garden, the house enjoys an impressive sense of privacy and is surrounded by mature planting and established greenery. Inside, the property retains a wealth of original period features, including high ceilings, beautiful wooden floors and characterful original windows, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere throughout.

The accommodation is generously proportioned, with elegant reception rooms providing excellent spaces for both entertaining and relaxed family living. The kitchen/breakfast room forms a practical heart to the home, while the versatile bedroom accommodation allows the property to be configured as either a five or six-bedroom house, depending on requirements.

A particular feature is the self-contained annexe, offering valuable independent accommodation and making the property equally appealing to those seeking space for extended family, guests, an au pair or a home-working environment.

Further complemented by a substantial double garage, extensive outside space, a detached office/summerhouse and shed/workshop both with electricity, the property offers an unusually rare combination of privacy, period character and exceptional versatility.
