Key Features

Full Details

Seville Street is a quiet road of attractive, red-brick Victorian terraces, tucked away parallel to Franklin Road in the Elm Grove area, with no through traffic. This area has a wide appeal, to both those looking for easy access to the city centre and Brighton Station, and also to families who want to be close to parks and schools. On Lewes Road, there are local shops and cafés and excellent bus services into town. William Clarke Park, which is known locally as The Patch, is accessible from the garden via a gate and has a children’s play area and a pond. Elm Grove and Fairlight Primary schools are a short walk away and the house is in the catchment area for Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools.

This two/three double-bedroom house has plenty of kerb appeal, it sits back from the street with a walled front garden and has a red brick façade with square bays on the ground and first floor.
This home offers a truly rare opportunity: a private garden that opens directly into the Patch, a much loved community park. Once part of the old railway line connecting Lewes Road to Kemptown, the space has evolved into a friendly, nature rich green haven, the kind of environment you don’t often find in the heart of a city. Despite being within easy walking distance of Brighton’s lively centre, the house sits on a quiet street where you can retreat into peace and greenery.
Inside, the property blends modern comfort with original character. You’ll find restored floorboards, carefully salvaged tiles reused in the guest bathroom, and thoughtful updates throughout. Practical features include an air source heat pump, a walk in wardrobe, and a total of four bathroom spaces, three WCs, a shower room, and a family bathroom with a freestanding tub and cleverly integrated laundry facilities. It’s an unusually well equipped home for its size.
The house is currently listed as a two bedroom property, with building control scheduled to sign off the new railings on 30 April, at which point it becomes a three bedroom home. There is also the option to divide the large first floor main bedroom into an office plus a medium sized bedroom, with electrics already in place to support this. This gives the property the potential to function as a four bedroom home, offering exceptional flexibility for families or those needing dedicated work space.

What the owner say “What we’ve loved most about living here is the feeling of being surrounded by nature right in the middle of the city. The house backs directly onto the park, and that has been the biggest gift. Our little one has grown up spending her afternoons playing there with her nursery friends while we parents catch up, and sometimes enjoy a glass of wine together. It’s such a safe, friendly space, and it makes day to day life with young children feel wonderfully easy.
We’ve celebrated birthdays on “the patch” every year — no venue hire, no stress, just children running around freely and adults relaxing in the sunshine. It’s also been the perfect spot for hosting friends for BBQs on the lawns, its like having a massive garden without the upkeep . The sense of community here is something truly special.
Despite being so close to the city, the evenings are peaceful, with only the sounds of wildlife drifting in from the park. The local nurseries and schools are excellent, and you’re genuinely spoiled for choice.
The house itself has been a labour of love — it is warm, comfortable, and easy to live in. It’s bittersweet to leave, but it’s time to downsize. We hope the next family enjoys it as much as we have.”
