Magnificently set within 974sqm (approx) of Andrew Stark landscaped gardens, this illustrious solid brick c1919 residence displays a breathtaking blend of evocative period elegance and modern ease in one of Brighton's most coveted addresses.

Irresistibly beautiful, impressively versatile and entirely private, "Lockerbie" is an unforgettable estate exclusively set between Church Street and the bay, complete with endorsed architectural plans to extend up and out to produce a luxurious 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom family home.

The gallery hall introduces a gracious sitting room with an open fireplace, a dramatic formal living room with striking beamed ceilings and a wide hallway presenting three of the four existing bedrooms. Solid timber floors and striking northern light define the expansive family living and dining room with a central well-equipped kitchen appointed with a 1200mm stove and serving area, perfectly adaptable to everyday living.

A fourth bedroom and study/5th bedroom to the rear complete the accommodation, whilst the endorsed plans for a first-level extension allow for a contemporary layout while retaining the original home's period aesthetics.
