Marlborough Mews, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1

Steeped in local history, the homes within Marlborough Mews were built almost 170 years after their closest neighbours, yet they sit in keeping with canted bay windows, slate roofs and canopied front doors. This house is contemporary inside with an open plan living space and three bedrooms, ideal for both families and professionals. Fresh white walls, new carpets and streamlined fixtures and fittings create a light and airy space allowing you to move straight in or let it out immediately with ease. In addition, this property comes with an allocated parking space – a huge bonus in this part of the city where parking comes at a premium and there are waiting lists for city centre zones.

It is incredibly central with the main thoroughfare of Western Road and Churchill Square at the bottom of the hill, where several bus routes pass by. Some of the cleanest beaches on the coast are within easy reach, as are the best primary schools in the city, plus Brighton Station is within easy walking distance for the London commute. With so many positive attributes, this house will appeal to many.

Why you’ll like it:
This house holds a peaceful position on Marlborough Street and is uniform with its neighbours in cream. It’s equally distant from both Western Road and Upper North Street, making it easily accessible to both.

The canopied door opens to the entrance hall with a useful ground floor cloakroom and newly carpeted stairs turning up to the first floor. It feels deceptively spacious with your line of sight running through the depth of the house to the garden beyond. The interior style is fresh and homely - creating a warm and welcoming feel as you step through the door.

The first room to the right is the kitchen, featuring streamlined cabinetry that offers ample storage and worktop space. It includes a breakfast bar with a working-from-home area equipped with charging points, making it a versatile and functional space for modern living. The kitchen comes fully equipped with integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, washer-dryer, and microwave. Its dove grey finish adds a touch of elegance and warmth to the space.

From here, it is easy to access the living and dining room which spans the rest of the ground floor, providing ample space for formal dining, relaxation and entertaining. A wall of glazing on the easterly wall opens to the sweet patio garden, becoming a wonderful extension of the home during summer with space for drinks and dining alfresco. A gate leads directly to a charming square with private parking, and it also provides convenient access for bringing in bikes and buggies without taking them through the immaculate house. Completing this floor, a deep store cupboard is ideal for coats, shoes and household items to ensure the house remains clutter-free.

Upstairs, there are three tranquil bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Two bedrooms are double, including the principal room looking out over the garden. And two of the three bedrooms are equipped with fitted wardrobes for added convenience. Bedroom three is a single room, ideal for a child or as a peaceful home office, and all have energy-efficient double glazing to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
Agent’s thoughts:
This is a wonderful home for families and professionals alike as the area offers so much for so many. From good schools to transport links, parks and the beach, there is an amazing energy to Central Brighton and a palpable sense of community.

Owners’ thoughts:
There is an amazing energy to Clifton Hill and Montpelier, as you are right in the thick of things, so you can access all the city’s delights on foot, yet when you are home in the garden, it is hard to believe you are somewhere so central. You get the feel of urban city life, and the amazing benefits of transport links etc, but with the addition of fresh coastal air and a chilled friendly atmosphere.
