A rare opportunity to own a home at the former home of the Hove Fire Brigade is now available - and can be yours for £1.45 million.

Once the main fire station in Brighton and Hove in the early 1800s, the property at Vallance Court has since been converted into a substantial family home, with four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a stunning roof terrace.

Built in the early 1800s, the building’s unique structure features a central terrace to connect both ‘wings’ of the house.

In contrast to the building’s age, the entrance to the house has a modern courtyard and a contemporary interior.

To the left is the dining room, finished with attractive dark tones and wood flooring - a beautiful place for hosting dinner parties. The kitchen spans the full length of the building, with a large bay window attracting a large amount of natural light during the day. It is complete with stunning parquet flooring, integrated appliances, a central breakfast bar, and an all-important wine fridge.

Taking the secured glass balustrade to the first floor, with three good sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each of the bedrooms are of a great size and in good order, with the principal bedroom featuring an en-suite shower room.

However, the real gem of this house is its large open roof terrace, which connects to the home’s fourth bedroom and reception room. The terrace will offer the new owners a private and extremely spacious space, which attracts the sun all day long - a perfect place to relax in the summer months.
