Hollingbury Park Avenue, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1

A beautifully appointed Victorian villa in the heart of a thriving community

This magnificent semi-detached Victorian villa is perfectly positioned in a highly sought-after residential enclave on Hollingbury Park Avenue—an area renowned for its strong sense of community, annual street party, and charming local atmosphere. Immaculately presented throughout and offered to the market chain-free, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a home of true distinction.

From the moment you arrive, the striking yellow and red brick façade, ornate first-floor balcony, and neighbouring leafy grounds of St Matthias Church set an impressive tone. Stepping inside, the elegant proportions, high ceilings, and beautifully considered interiors only add to the sense of grandeur.

The ground floor has been reconfigured to create a wonderfully spacious, double-aspect reception room, seamlessly blending period character with modern refinement. Original fireplaces, stripped wooden floors and a square bay window dressed with white shutters add warmth and charm, while a rear sash window frames delightful views of the west-facing garden.

The kitchen-breakfast room is equally impressive, with a monochrome chequerboard tiled floor providing a striking contrast to the soft green shaker-style cabinetry. Integrated appliances include an Indesit washing machine and Bosch dishwasher, complemented by a gas hob, electric oven, and space for a full-height fridge-freezer. A white metro-tiled splashback and dedicated dining area enhance the space, making it the perfect setting for both relaxed mornings and entertaining. A convenient downstairs WC is accessed via a small lobby leading to the garden.

The outdoor space offers a generous side return and steps up to a beautifully kept garden, complete with a lawn, well-tended flower borders, and the added benefit of rear access.

Upstairs, three superb double bedrooms provide exceptional living space, with the principal bedroom spanning the full width of the house. A feature window opens onto the charming wrought iron balcony, offering a peaceful retreat. The stylish family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary white suite, including a bath with both waterfall and handheld shower heads, and a sleek vanity unit providing ample storage.

Hollingbury Park Avenue is a quiet, tree-lined street just moments from Blaker’s Park and an array of highly regarded schools, including Downs Infant and Junior Schools, Dorothy Stringer, and Varndean secondary schools. The vibrant Fiveways area is just a short stroll away, offering a wonderful selection of independent shops, a greengrocer, butcher, deli, zero-waste grocery store, and charming eateries, along with a well-stocked wine shop and the welcoming Fiveways pub.

With Brighton beach and the city centre within walking distance, as well as the rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park nearby, this location truly offers the best of both worlds. Excellent transport links via London Road station and regular bus services on Ditchling Road provide easy access to the wider area.
This exquisite home presents an outstanding opportunity to enjoy Brighton living at its finest. Early viewing is highly recommended.
