Why you'll like it:
Within minutes of the heart of the city, this attractive terrace of period homes is opposite a small development with leafy surrounds, so most unusual for this central location, this house is not overlooked at the front or back - and you enjoy plenty of birdsong! With period charm outside, inside, a lofty ceiling with period finials, original staircase and walls painted in the historic hues of Farrow and Ball introduce you to the sophisticated tone of the interior, whilst gleaming contemporary radiators deliver the liveable luxury demanded by a 21st century lifestyle.

Classic wooden floors continue in an elegant reception with welcoming décor, broad bay window and ample space in which to relax or enjoy with friends. Next door, with magnificent views over the valley to the colourful hills of Hanover, a second generous room with a fitted cupboard is currently used as a comfortable home office- although this floor is often used as bedrooms for the family/guests as they can come and go without disturbing the main house, and some neighbours have opened this level to create an impressive formal reception.

With the wow factor as soon as you step in and with its own entrance from the street, the cosmopolitan kitchen/diner/ family room spans the full depth of this substantial building. A wall of glass allows you to enjoy stunning views over acres of private grounds to a glittering cityscape at any time of year, and it folds away to embrace a paved terrace with ambient lighting for al fresco dining and landscaped garden for parties. Inside, attention to detail includes underfloor heating (also in the discreet cloakroom) and a subtle choice of lighting levels including plinth led's.

Bespoke Italian units provide ingenious storage solutions, marble surfaces offer plenty of working area and bold injections of colour bring the space to life. Carefully tucked away from the social flow behind an inviting breakfast bar, the high spec gas hob, oven, dishwasher and washing machine are all integrated for you and there is a boiling tap by the sink. Not to be outshone, the garden is a scented sun trap with two large levels each with a designer finish from which to share the spectacular vista over the city either revelling in blossom during spring, basking under the summer sunshine or sparkling beneath November fireworks.

Up on the first floor, the master bedroom is a serene sanctuary with triple windows lining the bay in the western wall. Instantly restful with glorious proportions and romantic colour scheme, it has remarkably open views whilst inside, wardrobes concealed by curtains reach the ceiling, which is high. Next door and designed to soothe, the deluxe bathroom is big enough for you to bathe in glory in a freestanding bath with waterfall tap and shower attachment, or to revive beneath a separate shower with a dual head system, and indulgent touches include a streamlined vanity cabinet and warming rail for towels. Up on the top floor with ample floor space, good head room in the centre and shimmering leopard print paper, the attic has a sunny east west orientation with more storage under the eaves, and when you open the Velux in each roof line you catch a glimpse of the sea

Just a few minutes from vibrant shops, international restaurants, fashionable bars and lively arts venues this is a popular part of our coastal resort – but you are also tucked away from the crowds in a broad leafy street with friendly local amenities including cafes and bistro pubs. Conveniently located so the whole of Brighton & Hove is easy to reach on foot, by bus or by car, it is close to the commercial districts and cultural heart of the city as well as The Level which provides cool green spaces, playground, skate park and café, and hosts events in the numerous city festivals. For commuters, there is a choice of stations and both the A23 and A27 are easy to reach - and at the time of writing, permit zone J has no waiting list.
