Sitting within a prestigious and family friendly area, this detached, four/five-bedroom home was built in 1933, so it bears the generous proportions and architectural features of the period. Cleverly designed; the versatile layout provides separate spaces for family time and entertaining; where you can spill out to the sunny and private rear garden during warmer weather. It is a warm and welcoming home which flows beautifully, and with windows on all sides, it is filled with natural light throughout the day while also bringing in exceptional views across the city. For commuters, the station at Preston Park is on your doorstep, as is the A23, and for children, there are several popular parks and schools within walking distance. Being so well presented and positioned in such a favourable location, it is sure to attract many.
Tucked away in Brighton’s sought-after Tivoli neighbourhood, this handsome detached 1930s home is a rare find. Built in 1933, it was individually designed by an architect for his own family, creating a distinctive home with generous proportions, original character and a versatile layout. Offering four to five bedrooms, two reception rooms and a desirable school catchment location, it is ideally suited to modern family life.
Set behind an attractive front garden with established planting and a striking palm, the house features a charming arched entrance and wide picture windows. Inside, engineered ash flooring, double-aspect windows and abundant natural light create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Original features include a beautiful stained-glass window commemorating peace after the First World War, alongside a recessed display cabinet and built-in Shaker-style china dresser.
The main reception room centres around a striking double-sided fireplace, connecting with the kitchen and dining area, which can be separated by timber bi-folding doors. The second lounge offers a more relaxed space, with a gas fire, original display cabinet and French doors opening onto the garden patio.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully crafted maple kitchen by Craftship Kitchens of Sussex, complete with integrated appliances, solid worktops and vibrant lime glass splashbacks. The south-westerly rear garden is a particular highlight, with a lawn, mature planting and established borders providing a peaceful, largely private setting that enjoys sunshine well into the afternoon. Elevated views stretch across Preston Valley towards the South Downs, with glimpses of the sea and Brighton i360.
The ground floor also includes a generous fifth bedroom, currently used as a fully functioning home office, with an en-suite cloakroom. Upstairs are four further bedrooms, including three doubles with built-in wardrobes and a single bedroom. The family bathroom features a large Air Bath International spa bath with overhead shower, twin sinks and Grohe fittings.
Following a full survey in 2024, the property underwent a comprehensive overhaul in 2025, including Storm Dry treatment to the external walls. Double-glazed windows and doors throughout add to its practicality and comfort.
Tivoli Road is renowned for its friendly community and excellent access to local schools, including Stanford Infant and Junior Schools, Dorothy Stringer and Varndean High Schools, as well as BHASVIC. Local shops, cafés and everyday amenities are nearby, while Preston Park railway station is around a ten-minute walk away, offering convenient connections to Brighton city centre and London. Regular bus services provide further links into the city.
Surrounded by Preston Park, Withdean Park, Hove Park Recreation Ground and Hove Park, the area offers excellent access to green spaces, woodland walks and the countryside.
After many happy years here, the current owners leave behind a much-loved home filled with family memories and a wonderful sense of community. Combining individual architectural design, flexible accommodation, a sunny garden and far-reaching views, this is a truly special home in one of Brighton’s most desirable residential locations.
