Scrolling through houses on Rightmove is a great pastime. From looking over mansions to county estates and beach getaways to a cabin in the woods, there’s a dream home out there for every personality.

Whether you’re planning on buying or not, having a nosey at the houses is good fun.

If you have a spare £3.25m on you then Rightmove may have the property for you in the Brighton area.

Located right by the seafront, the townhouse in 8 Lewes Crescent is able to offer a huge amount for a potential buyer.

Take a look inside the property

On its Rightmove page the Grade I listed property is descibed as sitting "in a prominent positon on Brighton seafront set back in a slightly elevated position with sea views".

Additionally, the page adds: "The property has a wealth of stunning original features, architraves, shutters, high ceilings and superbly proportioned rooms."

The living space spans over five floors and includes eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, library/study, drawing room, gym/reception and a ground floor apartment.

It is a classically-furnished building and the vast majority of the rooms offer great sea views past Brighton's coastline.

There may be room to manoeuvre in changing some of the wall colours in the building, but as it is Grade I listed a new owner may have to apply listed building consent to see what changes would be allowed.

For the history of the building on the Rightmove page it says: "The estate, designed to be a miniature town of 250 houses, was initiated by Thomas Read Kemp in the 1820s.

"The facades of Lewes Crescent were completed by 1828, but the interiors and backs were left to be developed by the first owners.

"The Crescent is named after Lewes because Thomas Read Kemp was born there, and became, like his father, the Lewes MP."
