House For Sale £425,000
Tucked away behind Brighton College, and just a few minutes' walk from both Kemp Town Village and Queens Park, stands this beautifully renovated, Victorian terraced house. It sits on a quaint and pretty terraced street which has no through traffic making it perfectly safe and quiet. Spread over two floors and with two-double bedrooms, it is a fine size for professional sharers or small families alike, and the interior decoration is immaculate with many contemporary features. The local schools are amongst the best in the city and transport links are excellent with busses around the corner to take you throughout the city and beyond. Much of the city is accessible on foot, however, with the beach just a few minutes away, and the city centre shops and amenities are a short stroll. Being so favourably located and stylish throughout, this house will appeal to many.
Much like neighbouring Hanover; Baker's Bottom and many of the streets around Queens Park have been prettied up with residents painting the facades of their homes in a wonderful array of complementary colours ranging right through the rainbow. Even on a grey day, the walk along Bute Street is cheery, and the sense of community here reflects this.
This house sits mid-terrace close to the top of the road looking up to the leafy embankment. Having been completely renovated both inside and out, the façade is immaculate in stylish mid-grey with its architectural features picked out in white, and from the moment you enter, the interior is equally impressive.
Moroccan style floor tiles in shades of grey flow along the entrance hall, with an exposed brick wall and original Victorian pine doors, making way for striped carpet on the stairs, and limed oak effect flooring in the living room. Spanning the depth of the building with a wide bay window to the front and a southerly aspect at the back, this room is beautifully bright and has patio doors leading out to the rear garden. This becomes an extension of the home during the warmer seasons with space for alfresco dining and sweet beds for planting.
Along the hall the contemporary kitchen has handle-free units in white gloss which have been paired with concrete grey floor tiles and worksurfaces for a refined finish, and within these, the induction hob, extractor and fan oven have been integrated. This leaves space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer, and the splashbacks are on-trend in a white metro-style brick.
Upstairs, the chic shower room is first with a walk-in shower unit with a rainfall head to wake you up in the morning, and both bedrooms are on the upper landing. The master spans the front of the house with wardrobes built-in to the alcoves around the chimney breast, while the second room has a peaceful outlook over neighbouring gardens. Both have soft grey carpet underfoot, and there is potential to add a third bedroom in the loft space as the neighbours have set a precedence.
Agent's thoughts:
Beautifully presented and more spacious than its exterior implies, this property is a sound investment in a hugely popular location.
Owner's secret
"We bought the house as a project which has been quite a labour of love, but we are really happy with the results. Having got to know the neighbours, we can say this is a lovely street to live on, and we hope it makes a fantastic home for someone."
