Regency Town House

The Regency Town House is located at 13 Brunswick Square near the beach in Hove.

[5] A part of The Regency Town House project is located at 10 Brunswick Square.

[1] Visitors can walk down the stairs from the street to a front basement area that has a stone-flagged floor.

It has a large skylight and it's said that its layout was influenced by the Prince Regent's famous kitchen at the Brighton Pavilion.

[1] In 1984 Nick Tyson, the owner decided to reassemble a whole 1829 terraced house in Hove's Brunswick Square.

After he discovered Regency-style architecture in the United States, he observed that Brighton and Hove's historic buildings were being converted with little care and attention, which concerned him.

Tyson and his partner at the time bought the lease of an uninhabitable basement flat at 13 Brunswick Square and decided to take a year out to restore it before returning to the United States.

The plan was to photograph original fire places and ceiling roses and then to copy them for the Town House.

Analysis was carried out on finishes that were original to the property by paint expert Patrick Baty.

[9] Regular fundraising activities including Dine Like a Servant are held to support restoration of the townhouses.

Councillor Mac Cafferty, representing Brunswick and Adelaide Ward at the time, commented: "It’s a fitting tribute to the team of enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers, headed up by the tireless Nick Tyson, who have worked so hard to bring this project to life.

The funding will provide a lifeline for the house which, like museums and art galleries across the country, has been severely affected by the current Covid crisis.
