The Block 2020: The five New Street, Brighton houses for sale by auction
If you’re looking to snap up a piece of this year’s season of The Block, or just want to fantasise about living that beachside Brighton life, look no further because the five houses from the show have just hit the market.
Harking back to eras gone by, the front of each home is inspired by a decade between the 1910s and the 1950s. The homes were moved to New Street, Brighton, for the series.
This year’s contestants have, of course, put all the blood, sweat and many, many tears into the renovations that every crop of Blockheads does, but they have done so all while dealing with a global pandemic.
The listings show the revealed rooms at the front of each house, including the master and guest bedrooms and the en suites to each, with more to be revealed in the coming weeks after each new room is judged.
The houses have indicative selling prices between $3.2 million and $3.4 million – that’s at least $400,000 above Brighton’s median house price of $2,617,500 – making the homes on the more expensive side in the bayside suburb.
