We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This elegant early Victorian-built residence has been thoughtfully transformed through a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, seamlessly blending original Victorian character with contemporary design and modern comforts.
Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 1350 sq ft, this exceptional four-bedroom home offers wonderfully versatile accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family living.
Believed to date from around 1840, the property has a fascinating history and has long been associated with Brighton’s creative community.
Once a renowned theatrical guest house and later used as rehearsal space by the Brighton Dramatic Society, the house has been lovingly restored to create a stylish and welcoming home for a new generation.
The ground floor provides a superb sense of space, with a generous open-plan sitting and dining room forming the heart of the property.

A door provides direct access to the rear courtyard, creating an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Several rooms retain beautiful period features including original fireplaces and sash windows, adding to the character and charm throughout. Two stylish family bathrooms complete the accommodation.
Externally, the property benefits from a private southerly facing courtyard garden, providing a peaceful outside retreat rarely found in such a central Brighton location.
Situation Situated on North Road, the property enjoys an enviable position within easy reach of Brighton’s vibrant city centre, with an abundance of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions close by.
