Rent 5 bedroom house in Brighton

Renovated to an exceptional standard, this naturally light and spacious five-bedroom house will appeal to families looking to live amongst a vibrant community within easy walking distance of the beach, Kemptown and Brighton City Centre. Spread over four generous floors it offers almost 1700 square feet of versatile living space for those looking to work from home or raise a family close to excellent schools. Perched up on one of Brighton’s famous hills, the views to the rear are far reaching, taking the eye from the rolling hills of the South Downs to the sea. Holding a corner plot, you access this house from Carlyle Street, stepping into a glamorous and welcoming entrance hall where natural light streams in down the stairwell and through the double door opening to the living room. It is immediately apparent this is a beautiful renovation which has been cleverly converted from its original, commercial use to create an exceptional family home. Open plan but with clearly defined areas for dining, relaxation and cooking, the main reception spaces feel modern and are perfectly designed for both family time and entertaining in style. You can cosy up in the living room for an evening watching TV or sit at the window seat watching the world go by. This is also a great space for a formal dining table alongside the kitchen which has a stone topped central island for informal drinks and dining. Streamlined and stylish, the kitchen has plenty of storage alongside an integrated fridge freezer, wine cooler, dishwasher, fan ovens and an induction hob, so you can chat to guests/family while you prepare the evening meal. Downstairs there are two peaceful double bedrooms which could have any number of uses depending on need – a gym, home office or playroom perhaps? While there are two further double bedrooms on the first floor, this time with soft fawn carpet underfoot and access to the contemporary family bathroom. This has a freestanding bath with matt-black taps and a separate shower cubicle for when time is of the essence. A utility room is also neatly tucked away on this floor, away from the main living rooms, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The principal bedroom suite spans the entire top floor with a chic bathroom to echo the one below it and a Velux window to star gaze as you drift off to sleep. From the rear dormer window, the views really come into their own, glittering with stars and the lights of the city at night, then bright with colour during the day as the landscape takes you from the green of the countryside to the blue of the sea. As well as smart frontage with room for seating, the house benefits from a spacious, tranquil back garden. Entered via private side gate or the kitchen door for convenience, it is the perfect space for entertaining. Framed by attractive architecture, leafy trees and characterful walled boundaries, it oozes Mediterranean appeal and charm. With cream paving and natural trellis, it enjoys a westerly aspect flooded with sunshine throughout the afternoon. The garden offers flexibility, allowing space for children's activities alongside al-fresco dining. From the kitchen window a watchful eye can be kept, or a sense of calm can be had for those wanting a peaceful garden view. Parking is easy with on-street permits, or free parking hours for visitors on the adjacent road.
