North Road, Brighton, BN1

Listed 7 Oct 2026 · Brighton
Set on the corner of historic Pelham Square, this three-bedroom period house offers over 1,550 sq ft of space across four floors, with a south-facing garden, generous proportions and enormous potential for its next owner to shape around the way they want to live. The house needs modernising, but that is a large part of its appeal. Rather than inheriting somebody else’s choices, there is an opportunity here to work with a brilliant existing footprint and a wealth of original character. Exposed wooden floorboards, feature fireplaces, ceiling roses, dado rails and tall skirting boards remain throughout, while the arrangement across four floors gives the house plenty of flexibility. The lower ground floor is currently centred around the kitchen and dining room. The dining space sits at the front, with a bay window and feature fireplace, while the kitchen occupies the rear. There is separate street access at the front, along with a utility area and WC, and a small courtyard to the rear which could potentially be connected more directly to the main garden above. On the ground floor, the dual-aspect reception room runs across much of the house, with enough space to create distinct areas for sitting, reading or entertaining.. A few steps down, a separate garden room opens directly onto the south-facing garden and would work equally well as a home office, studio or quieter reading nook. Two bedrooms occupy the first floor. The principal bedroom faces the square, with a bay window and original fireplace, while the second looks out over the garden. The family bathroom sits on the half landing, with a bath and shower over, and there is additional storage from the landing. The top floor is given entirely to the third bedroom, a generous room tucked into the roofline with eaves storage and another window overlooking the garden. At around 1,552 sq ft, this is a substantial house for such a central location. It could work as a long-term Brighton home, somewhere to split time between Brighton and elsewhere, or potentially as a rental investment. In each case, the appeal is much the same: a proper period house, a brilliant central setting and plenty of scope to make your own.
