10 Farleigh Grove Brighton - James Home Ratings

Inspected: 20/8/2025

This is a big, powerful home — one of those properties that feels like it belongs in Toorak rather than Brighton. And that’s both its strength and its challenge.

Position

The street is a real plus: Farleigh Grove is a cul-de-sac, no-through, no traffic. You’re a short walk to Church Street, a decent stride to the beach, and trains and schools are all within reach. For families with teenagers, this location is gold — Brighton Grammar, Firbank, and others are all a stroll away. From a positional point of view, it’s excellent.

Property

The block is 679sqm — not sprawling, but serviceable. You don’t buy this home for lawn bowls or backyard cricket. You buy it for the house itself, and what a house it is.

Over three levels with a lift, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and multiple living areas, this is an intense home. The finishes are super classy, super solid — nothing cheap or short-term here. It’s the kind of build that will still feel current in 20 years.

That said, it’s not peaceful. The furniture currently in place amplifies the intensity — full-on, heavy, “here I am” kind of styling. For some buyers, that will feel exhilarating; for others, exhausting. The design itself leans to the masculine, powerful side — bold lines, commanding presence, no soft edges.

Market

Here’s the rub: the Bayside market is picking up, but properties like this can struggle. Not because they aren’t excellent, but because they demand a very specific buyer. In Toorak, this would be gone already. In Brighton, it needs time.

At some number, someone will buy this. The seller will always believe it’s worth more; buyers will want to negotiate harder. Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.

Summary

A super classy, super powerful home in a prime Brighton pocket. It’s not soft, it’s not subtle, and it’s not for everyone. But for the right family — especially with teenagers who’ll thrive in this location — it’s an outstanding property. The only question is where the buyer and seller meet on price.

Powerful 5-bed, 4-bath family home on 679sqm in Brighton. Three levels with lift, luxury finishes, cul-de-sac position near Church Street and schools.
