Middle Street Brighton | East Sussex Seller Insight Middle Street Brighton | East Sussex Seller Insight When we first saw this house we wanted somewhere between the sea and the station with a garage and no garden. Set back from the road in a quiet courtyard, this is something special. It’s a quirky property in the perfection location. Going for a run along the seafront on a Sunday morning is bliss and we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants. If you want to live centrally but not on the street – this is it!” Step inside 72a Middle Street Moments from the beach –3 bedroom coach house with south-facing balcony in secure gated mews with planning permission and integral garage. Discreetly set back from the road in a central yet secluded gated mews, the exposed beams and bungaroosh wall of this three storey coach house are thought to date back to the 1800s. Behind the contemporary façade, a wealth of charm and character blends seamlessly with modern design features to create a spacious city centre home. A tasteful yet sympathetically presented interior offers a bespoke kitchen, large living room and master suite, while an integral garage and allocated space provide plenty of secure private off-road parking for this Brighton home. In More Detail Throughout this classic coach house contemporary design features have been incorporated seamlessly with creativity and imagination. Ground floor underfloor heating and high levels of insulation are just three of the many subtle additions that run throughout the property in a functional yet understated manner. Ground Floor A distinguished European oak front door opens onto a spacious entrance hall where elegant limestone tiles with underfloor heating combine with crisp white walls to create a great sense of space. Refurbished by the current owners to beautifully high standard in 2016, the ground floor creates a contemporary yet sympathetic twist to this 1800s city centre home while sandblasted exposed beams and a bungaroosh wall remind you its coach house history. Perfect for entertaining or spending time together as a family, the open plan arrangement includes an immaculate Square One kitchen beautifully appointed with an Elica extractor hood and a range of Neff and Siemens appliances. Tall pull-out larder cabinets and carousel shelving sit behind white soft close cabinets, while the etched grooves of sleek Uba Tuba granite countertops flow into the Blanco sink with its modern spray tap. Effortlessly delineating the space, a solid oak breakfast bar adds to the sociable feel, while a bespoke solid oak cabinet offers a wealth of storage and houses a large US-style fridge freezer. Deep recessed cupboards offer plenty of discreet space for laundry appliances. Continuing the stylish design scheme, a modern wet-room features a wall-hung Villeroy & Boch suite arranged in a mosaic stone tile setting with underfloor heating, while a convenient cloakroom area completes the ground floor. First Floor The rich tones of an engineered wood floor flow into a large dual aspect living room where a duo of French doors open onto a wide south-facing balcony. Generously proportioned with ample space to relax and entertain, natural light tumbles in highlighting a characterful arched recess while a Scan Andersen wood burner nestles within an exposed brick chimney breast for a traditional focal point. The crisp white walls and exposed beams continue in the adjacent bedroom that benefits from plenty of storage within its deep recessed wardrobes and creates plenty of versatile space for those who work from home. Internal windows allow natural light to flow throughout this floor emphasising its height and space, while library shelving in the hallway is perfectly placed for your book collection. Second Floor Stretching across the majority of the top floor of this period coach house, a master suite offers plenty of potential to be reconfigured. Beautifully lit by a wide multi-pane window looking out over the mews, the large double bedroom area benefits from plenty of classic fitted wardrobes and cabinets. Adding a touch of luxury, a spacious dual aspect en suite bathroom offers an elegant Roca suite complete with corner jacuzzi bath and a large walk-in shower, while its monochrome tile setting lends a refined finishing touch. Feature postcard patterned wallpaper adds a vintage splash of colour to a single bedroom that looks out across the rooftops from its tall Velux window. Planning permission currently exists to insulate the roof and allows you the opportunity to transform the master suite in a highly contemporary space styled to your own tastes and needs. Dormer extensions could be added to both the bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe area could be installed in between the master bedroom and its en suite, and a section of the single bedroom could be converted into a separate WC. Outside The French doors of the living room open onto a decked south-facing balcony that engenders an easy flowing extension of the first floor, perfect for relaxing in the sun with the weekend papers.

    Brighton & Hove North Laine Tidy Street www.mhms.org.uk Tidy Street Lead researcher Phyllis McDonald This volume is dedicated to our colleague Phyllis 19th May 1945 - 15th October 2011. MyHouseMyStreet is a collaborative, community-based project providing information about Brighton & Hove's historic homes and streets. It encourages and enables exploration of the local and, in particularly, the City’s 'back-street' neighbourhoods. MyHouseMyStreet is a Regency Town House project. Project Progress 2010/11 Over the last twelve months the MyHouseMyStreet project has evolved significantly; developing strongly after the pilot programmes staged in 2008-10. Recent key achievements include: the assembly of a database containing more than 1.4 million elements, recording past residents in twenty-five of Brighton & Hove’s historic streets; the staging of ten MyHouseMyStreet exhibitions across the City, with detailed street histories produced about each exhibition location; the building of a project website that already offers some 40 thousand local directory pages dating from 1784 to 1975 and which will soon offer to all, the full set of information gathered by MyHouseMyStreet researchers. Acknowledgements We are grateful to all who have contributed to expanding the initiative during the last year, especially the many Regency Town House volunteers who have assisted with its long-term development and the residents of the areas in which we have staged MyHouseMyStreet exhibitions. All have given very generously. Without their effort, enthusiasm and perseverance the project would have been much diminished. Special thanks must go to our principle street researchers: Shirley Allen, Gilly Burton, Alan Campbell, Elaine Fear, Phyllis McDonald, Chris Nichols, Catherine Page, Rosemary Pugh, Caroline Wallis.

Today only the back garden to the 8 flats making up number 32, together with a piece of land across the road, called the Secret Garden, remain (Fig. 2). The Trustees of the Antony Dale Trust, who own the Secret Garden wanted background information about the origins of the garden to use in promotional material and this was the original goal. An understanding of the development of the gardens, however, required consideration of the whole block from 32 to 40 as their histories are intertwined and this determined the scope of this exercise. Figure 2. The original extent of the garden (red) and what is left today (green). North to the left.
