A rare piece of Brighton’s Victorian heritage

Originally part of the historic Highcroft estate, North Lodge dates from the late 19th century and was once alongside the grand red‑brick villa of Highcroft House, the South Lodge and wrapped in an orchard that framed the grounds. Today, it stands as a rare survivor of that period: a characterful detached lodge that boasts all the charm and features of a typical country home.

Set well back from the road, North Lodge has its own driveway and mature planting and the house is almost hidden from view. The approach immediately feels different from other Brighton  homes – more like arriving at a rural cottage than a property, minutes from central Brighton.

Characterful living spaces

Inside, North Lodge blends period character with warm, relaxed, country‑style living.

• An intricate cast-iron spiral staircase winds between floors; a striking architectural feature and reminder of its period origins.
• The three bedrooms upstairs are well-proportioned and filled with natural light, offering calm, comfortable spaces away from the main living areas.
• The bathroom includes a beautiful roll‑top bath
• Exposed wooden floors fit the house’s famous character

• The kitchen boasts farmhouse appeal, with exposed beams, wooden floors, granite worktops and a traditional gas fired four oven Aga - the "heart of the home" providing charm, consistent warmth, superior cooking facilities, and a social focal point.

• This blends with a generous dining area that links the kitchen and garden, through French doors that lead onto the garden to a lovely patio area offering both indoor or outdoor dining facilities on summer evenings
  .
• The cosy lounge centres around a wood‑burning fireplace, providing a snug retreat for winter evenings.

One of North Lodge’s standout features is its outside space. The house sits in an unusually large, wraparound garden with space at the front and rear for outside dining, entertaining or children’s play.

• The driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and enhances the sense of privacy from the road.
• A studio and large shed offer the potential for a garden workshop or storage as well as an entirely separate garden office, atelier, hobby space or self‑contained pod for additional accommodation or home working.
