Let agreed — Brighton, BN1
A three-bedroom maisonette, with one bathroom, offered unfurnished.
Let agreed
A charming Victorian bay-fronted maisonette in one of Brighton's most sought-after family neighbourhoods, ideally placed between two of the city's best-loved green spaces — Preston Park and Blaker's Park — and just moments from the independent cafés, delis and pubs of Fiveways.
The property has been thoughtfully modernised while retaining the period character you'd hope for from a home of this era. The principal reception is a beautifully proportioned bay-windowed room finished in a soft sage green, with picture rails, dado panelling, an original period fireplace and handsome fitted shelving in each alcove — the kind of room that feels equally at home hosting friends or curling up with a book on a Sunday.
To the rear, a contemporary Shaker kitchen sits at the heart of the home, with quartz worktops, NEFF gas hob and integrated oven, a dishwasher, Siemens fridge/freezer, metro-tiled splashbacks and wood-effect flooring. There's dedicated space and plumbing for your own washing machine. A glass-roofed garden room extends the kitchen out to the private rear garden.
The principal bedroom mirrors the reception's bay window and offers a full wall of mirrored fitted wardrobes. A second double overlooks the garden, and the smartly finished bathroom has an over-bath shower, chrome heated towel rail and classic Victorian-style chequerboard tiling. On the top floor, a bright loft conversion provides a third double bedroom or home office, with twin Velux skylights and generous eaves storage.
Period details — stripped pine doors, turned-spindle banisters, decorative cornicing and sash-style windows — run throughout. The sash windows are fully double-glazed, preserving the look of the originals while keeping the home warm and quiet year-round.
Preston Park (with its rose garden, tennis courts, Rotunda café and bowling greens) is a short stroll away, as is the village-like Blaker's Park with its landmark clocktower, playground and tennis courts. Fiveways is the local hub for weekend coffee, independent shops and well-regarded schools including Balfour Primary, Downs Junior, Varndean and Dorothy Stringer. Preston Park station (direct trains to London Victoria) is under ten minutes on foot, and Brighton's seafront, Lanes and mainline station are all within easy reach.
This property will be fully managed by Philip James Letting Agents.

“We have been tenants with Phillip James since 2021 and honestly cannot fault them at all. We have run into minimal issues since being tenants and any problems we have encountered have been rectified within an excellent time frame. I feel more than comfortable going to them with any issues that may arise and have never had a negative experience. We are extremely happy where we live and would recommend Phillip James to anyone 😊”

The Preston Park rental market is predominantly flat-led, and that's where most of the activity sits right now. One-bedroom flats are typically asking around £1,300 a month and letting in about a fortnight — a steady pace for early July, when the summer moving season is building momentum. Two-beds are if anything moving a little faster, around the same two-to-three week mark, with a median of £1,600 a month and a reasonable spread of stock available. Three- and four-bedroom houses are both letting around a week to a fortnight, with three-beds typically around £2,650 and fours around £2,750 — relatively thin on the ground, but moving without much difficulty when they do appear.
Larger properties of five bedrooms or more are taking noticeably longer — a month or more — and there's a fair amount sitting available, so landlords in that bracket should price carefully. Studios have no current availability, which makes them hard to read right now.
For investors considering the figures, flats are running at around 7% gross yield on current rents and sale prices — houses somewhat lower, in the 4–5% range depending on type.
