This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial residence in Brighton’s coveted Preston Park area. The house, described as ‘Blakers House’, combines the grandeur of a period property with contemporary renovations and extensions. The images reveal a blend of traditional architectural features, including original stained-glass windows and a beautiful brick fireplace, integrated with a sleek, modern extension and kitchen. This offers a harmonious balance of old-world charm and modern functionality.

The property benefits from a desirable location, with close proximity to excellent schools (Brighton & Hove Montessori School, Downs Junior School, and others receiving ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings), and easy access to transportation. Preston Park, a green space, is another significant advantage.

The size of the property is not explicitly stated. The nine bedrooms and six bathrooms point to a significant living space but the absence of square footage data complicates a full appraisal. The images suggest various extensions and renovations, which might explain the differences in price compared to neighbouring properties. The inclusion of a modern extension with a large patio and a small garden provides some outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. However, the area is relatively compact in comparison to the scale of the main house.

The list price of £2,350,000 positions this property at the higher end of the market. While the location and quality of the renovations contribute to its value, the lack of detailed square footage makes a precise evaluation of price per square foot impossible. Furthermore, while the property is in good condition, the absence of precise details regarding any required maintenance or repairs prevents a conclusive statement. Potential buyers are advised to conduct thorough due diligence including a professional survey and investigate fully the details of the property’s size and maintenance history to make an informed purchase decision.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
