Why you'll like it:
The area of Stoneham and Poets Corner is known as having a wonderful community spirit with lots of local parks, gastro pubs and shops, and even its own festival. Here, you are also only a short walk to the beach, and Portslade Station is an easy stroll for the London commute, so it is no wonder the area has retained its popularity over the years.

This house is tucked away on a quiet residential street on the westerly outskirts of the area, so it is not used as a through-road and traffic is low. It is set back slightly from the road behind a front patio, and once inside, it if far more spacious than its sweet exterior implies. Entering directly into the main reception, you are greeted with double room where there is ample space for both formal dining and relaxation. With an east to west aspect, this room receives plenty of natural light throughout the day, and the kitchen is conveniently adjoining. Well-designed for the space, there is storage at both base and wall levels while some appliances have been integrated, leaving space for others. You also access the garden from here which is ideal for dining alfresco, providing a terrace as well as a grass lawn area.

Upstairs on the first floor there are two peaceful double bedrooms including the master which spans the front of the house. They share use of the main bathroom new bath suite and there is potential for further extension into the loft if need be – certainly food for thought for families or people requiring an office to work from home.
