3 bedroom end of terrace houseVictoria Street, Brighton, BN1 3FP

“Midway” is an elegant Grade II listed corner-house nestled in one-of Brighton’s most picturesque and sought-after streets. Bursting with Victorian features and a stone’s throw from the beach, the station and the Lanes. A generous kitchen-entertaining-area, opening to a suntrap courtyard garden / off-street parking make this a rare gem. An original 1840s gold-gilt house name above the solid oak front door welcomes you home. The stained-glass-and-crystal panels project a colourful Brighton scene into the hall. A classically proportioned 25ft reception room, with delightful period cornicing, is perfect for basking in the morning sunshine, or snuggling in front of the roaring fire as the discreetly motorised curtains glide closed. Wide bay windows, flanked by an olive tree and a fragrant jasmine look out to a genteel white stuccoed terrace. The corner location uniquely gives side windows for light and air throughout, and allows a large entertaining space in the newly fitted kitchen/family-room which spans the whole width of the house. Oak tri-fold doors open up the dining area for Summer-sundowners in the tropical themed patio garden. There’s a comfy swing chair to relax in while you keep an eye on the barbecue. What the owners say: The house is just right for entertaining and for 20 years has been a hub for all our friends. We never planned to stay this long, but the neighbourhood is so friendly and so close to the buzz of the cafes, shops, station and sea. Our lovely home is warm in Winter and cool in Summer thanks to thick “bungaroosh” walls. Somehow it manages to be cosy and compact yet have plenty of space at the same time. We’ve eaten outside hundreds of times and barely close the garden doors in Summer unless we are down at the beach hut. Do come and take a look around to see whether you’d love it as much as we have.
