Millers Road, Brighton, BN1 5NQ

Commanding exceptional panoramic views across Brighton and the Sussex Downs, this beautifully arranged home offers elegant living space, superb entertaining areas and a remarkable principal suite.

The house is well presented throughout and thoughtfully laid out for modern living. It has been a much-loved home for the current owner for approximately twenty-five years and has been carefully maintained during that time. 

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall and a reception room with an open fireplace, creating a warm and inviting living space. And to the rear is a spacious kitchen-dining room fitted with a full range of appliances ideal for keen cooks. There is ample space for a large dining table, making this a wonderful social hub for everyday living and entertaining. Large glazed doors and windows provide plenty of natural light and draw the eye outward to the spectacular views beyond and provide access to the garden.

Sliding doors from the kitchen open directly onto the garden’s first al fresco dining terrace. Steps lead down to a tiered lawned garden, while a second, more secluded seating area tucked beneath the terrace provides an intimate and sheltered place to relax. At the far end of the garden, a generous hardwood deck creates a superb additional entertaining space.

Beneath the house is a substantial dry basement, currently used for storage and housing the modern combi boiler. Neighbouring properties have converted this space, offering exciting potential for further accommodation (subject to the necessary planning permissions and regulations). A separate garden shed area also includes a disused WC which, we understand, could be reconnected if desired.

On the first floor are three bedrooms: two well-proportioned double rooms, one enjoying the far-reaching views, and a good-sized single bedroom or home office, which also takes advantage of the outlook. A contemporary family bathroom completes this level.

The upper floor has been transformed into a striking principal suite – a beautifully private retreat designed to make the most of the views. This impressive space offers generous proportions, striking feature windows, a juliet balcony with full-height inward-opening doors, a walk-in wardrobe, and a stylish en-suite shower room. Additional eaves storage has been thoughtfully incorporated.

The house also benefits from excellent internal storage, including generous under-stairs cupboards incorporating a practical laundry area and a further cupboard housing the recently installed consumer unit (fuse box).

Millers Road is superbly positioned close to the green open spaces of Preston Park and Dyke Road Park. Preston Park railway station – just a ten-minute walk away – offers direct services to London in under an hour. Regular bus services run nearby, providing straightforward connections to Brighton city centre, the seafront and surrounding areas. The vibrant Seven Dials neighbourhood, renowned for its independent cafés, restaurants and bakeries, is around fifteen minutes on foot, with Brighton city centre a little further beyond. The area is also well served by a range of highly regarded nurseries, primary and secondary schools, together with several excellent sixth-form colleges.
