“boscombe” circa 1890
magnificent in both its victorian grandeur and contemporary execution, this architecturally transformed north-facing residence occupies approximately 916sqm of landscaped resort-style surroundings, delivering a family residence of uncompromising luxury only footsteps from the foreshore and church street′s renowned dining precinct.
original victorian grandeur is immediately evident in a bay-window lounge where rich oak panelling, a gas fireplace and a striking christopher boots chandelier introduce the first of four living areas. an executive home office with a marble fireplace extends the elegance of the original rooms, preceding a gym or guest bedroom, a designer bathroom and a lavish ground-floor main suite with an italian bespoke dressing room and a skylit marble ensuite with underfloor heating.
custom steel-framed glazing and a sculptural ribbon staircase announce the contemporary addition to the rear, drawing natural light through expansive north-facing living and dining spaces centred around a marble kitchen appointed with miele and gaggenau appliances alongside an integrated sub-zero refrigerator. a rumpus/games room with theatre equipment and a clever loft introduces another layer to the floorplan, complemented upstairs by a mezzanine living room, three additional robed bedrooms and a luxurious skylit bathroom. oversized sliding doors create seamless transitions for indoor-outdoor living, opening to the alfresco pavilion with a mains gas beefeater barbecue, where a self-cleaning heated pool and spa, in-ground trampoline and hard court create an exceptional setting for entertaining and family enjoyment.
herringbone oak flooring, 100% wool carpets, double glazing, individual reverse-cycle heating and cooling, underfloor bathroom heating, integrated indoor and outdoor audio, outdoor shower, video intercom, a security system, automated irrigation, an alpine sauna, a remote garage and secure off-street parking behind motorised gates reflect a peerless commitment to quality. enviably positioned within a short walk from church street, the baths, middle brighton beach, and leading schools such as brighton grammar and firbank grammar, its blue-chip address has long been synonymous with brighton′s finest.
