There's no substitute for real elegance, and while you may well appreciate the modern-day style of a Porsche, you can't fail to recognize the true elegance of this Edwardian gem.

And why shouldn't the two go perfectly together? Brand Vaughan are proud to offer this sensational semi-detached Edwardian house to the market. “This is a perfect example of a traditional, large family house, yet with every up-to-the-minute feature and with the rare advantage of secure off-street parking.” says Jason Brand, BV Director, “It's just waiting for a new, thoroughly modern family to claim it as their own.”

With its classic exterior and elegantly decorated interior, the house offers immaculate accommodation, with six bedrooms, three bathrooms, three beautifully proportioned reception rooms and glorious gardens, all set within secure gates and located on the town end of Dyke Road, close to Seven Dials. So all the interesting shops, bars and restaurants of this cosmopolitan area are on your doorstep,  as are two of the best Brighton schools, and the Sixth Form College – so children of all ages are catered for within easy reach.

And the house caters perfectly for families too: arranged over three floors, with the main family accommodation on the first two floors, there is a top floor “suite” of rooms (including a bathroom) which would be the perfect solution for grown-up children, visiting relatives, or even the Nanny (and a Nursery)!   

The house has been lovingly restored, and retains many delightful period features. The stained glass windows, original  decorative tiles, cornices and mouldings will delight the traditionalist. And then there's the state-of-the-art kitchen, which is very light and spacious and leads onto a newly-built, quite spectacular high-spec family room. This in turn opens onto beautifully planted gardens with a raised, west-facing decked area which is perfect for that glass of wine as it catches the last rays of evening sun.

Commuterwise, the house is pretty perfect too, as it is a short walk to Brighton's mainline station for the convenience of City “slaves” and visitors alike!

When this charming house was built, it epitomized the elegance of the Edwardian age. And now, as current owners Mary and John McKean remark, “The house has undoubtedly grown old gracefully. It's  a peaceful and welcoming living space, which has provided everything our family needed. We hope that a new  family will fall in love with it, as we did.”

As the McKeans move on to pastures new, perhaps this could be the perfect house for your family? And the perfect place to park  your horseless carriage...
