A seven-bedroom detached house in one of Brighton’s most prestigious residential areas has been placed on the market for £3.35 million. The property, situated on Withdean Road, is the former home of New Zealand golf professional Michael Campbell, who famously won the US Open in 2005.
The substantial residence spans 5,683 sq ft of living space arranged across three floors. Set behind secure gates, the house is located on a street consistently ranked among the most exclusive and expensive in the Brighton and Hove area.
Its architectural style combines original period features with a range of contemporary design elements, catering to the high-end local property market. The layout includes seven bedrooms, providing significant accommodation for a large family or for hosting guests.
Property specifications and layout
The interior of the home is designed to offer a blend of traditional character and modern luxury. With over 5,600 sq ft of space, the rooms are distributed over three levels, allowing for distinct living, dining, and sleeping quarters. The secure gated entrance provides a high degree of privacy, a standard feature for many of the larger homes on Withdean Road.
Michael Campbell, the former resident, reached the pinnacle of his sporting career when he held off Tiger Woods to win the US Open at Pinehurst No. 2. His former tenure at the Brighton house adds a layer of sporting pedigree to the listing, which is expected to attract interest from buyers seeking a high-profile home in the city.
Withdean Road is well-known for its large plots and varied architecture, ranging from substantial Victorian villas to modern custom-built homes. The street’s elevation provides many properties with views across the city and towards the South Downs.
