Filled with charm and character, this beautifully presented two-bedroom terraced home with a bright loft room and private patio garden is set on one of Kemptown’s most sought-after no-through roads. Perfectly located within walking distance of the seafront, East Brighton Park and the cafés of Kemptown Village, it blends period features with a modern lifestyle across approximately 88 sq m (947 sq ft).

The property flows elegantly from the welcoming sitting room through to the dining room and stylish kitchen, while upstairs, two comfortable double bedrooms and a smart bathroom provide restful spaces to unwind. The top-floor loft room is a wonderful bonus — ideal as a home office, studio or occasional guest room — and outside, the walled garden provides a sunny and private retreat for relaxing or entertaining.

Homes in this peaceful enclave of Victorian terraces rarely come to market. With permit parking, great schools nearby, and easy access to Brighton Marina, the hospital and city centre, this house is perfectly positioned for professionals, families and investors alike.

Why You’ll Like It:
The home’s attractive red-brick façade hints at the charm within. A pretty front garden leads to a welcoming hallway, setting the tone for the light, well-balanced interior.

To the front, the sitting room features a bay window and a classic fireplace, offering a relaxing retreat. The separate dining room provides ample space for family meals or entertaining friends, with views through to the garden and easy access to the kitchen.

At the rear, the kitchen has been tastefully modernised with deep teal metro-tiles, wooden worktops, and a white ceramic sink — balancing style with practicality. A window over the sink captures garden views, and a door opens directly onto the sunny decked patio, perfect for summer dining.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms include a generous principal bedroom spanning the full width of the house, and a second bright double with garden views. The bathroom is modern yet classic, with clean lines and natural light.
The loft has been converted into a versatile, bright space with exposed brick, Velux windows, and eaves storage — ideal for a study, music room or creative hideaway.

Outside, the low-maintenance garden faces south and catches the sun throughout the day. Framed by painted walls and mature planting, it’s a tranquil extension of the home.

Agent Says:
“Rugby Place is always in demand — quiet, friendly and close to both the park and seafront. This particular home strikes the perfect balance between charm and functionality, with a beautiful kitchen, lovely light, and that versatile loft space adding real flexibility.”

Owner’s Secret:
“We’ve loved the peaceful feel of the house and how much light it gets all day. The garden has been our little sanctuary, and the location couldn’t be better — we can walk to cafés, the beach, and Brighton Marina in minutes.”
