Irresistibly charming, this inviting 5 bedroom Victorian house has sashayed into the 21st century with a fabulous, triple depth reception and a sunny west facing garden with power and lights, ready to party.

Ft. Delivers ample room for work or play. Within walking distance of the sea and al fresco lifestyle of 7 Dials, homes in this tranquil enclave of attractive, one way streets do not come onto the market often- and sell fast.

Quiet and convenient with plentiful permit parking, this prestigious conservation area is known as the golden triangle as you can walk to the station, shops and the sea. Ideal for professionals and families, the handsome properties here do not come onto the market often – and this bay fronted beauty on a one way street has charm even from the kerb, tucked privately away behind a front garden with a seaside influence.

This loving refurbishment includes new joists and reclaimed wood floor on the ground floor, newly installed double-glazed timber framed sash windows in both the large bays at the front of the house and one of the rear bedrooms, hand built storage and newly installed shower room, and the quality of the work is outstanding with a full list of the works available upon request.

Inside, the hallway instantly soothes, adorned by original plasterwork high above your head and Victorian tiles underfoot, whilst the discreet but well organised storage introduces you to the expert balance between style and practical living of the interior design.

The open plan living room and garden:

Glorious proportions combine with refined decoration to create an inviting ground floor of timeless beauty and understated elegance where a broad bay at the front faces east for the sunshine whilst at the far end, French doors lead out to the shallow garden steps. With ample space in which to relax or enjoy with company, beautiful features include stately coving, central ceiling rose and the majestic marble fireplace is open, but may need a new liner. There is an open flow into the dining area, which can also be reached from the hallway (keeping options open, ) where traditional cabinets have been handmade on each side of the fireplace and there is shelving around the door.

Skilfully designed so the working areas are out of sight of the living and dining rooms, the stylish kitchen is sociable with space beneath a skylight for informal gatherings. A gift for gourmets, safely tucked away from the French doors, this solid wood kitchen has sophisticated storage solutions. Solid wood surfaces are right on trend and gleam beneath a choice of lighting levels and high spec appliances include a fabulous multi fuel range with gas burners, two ovens and plate warmer, which could stay subject to circumstance and negotiation.

Built on the South Downs which roll to the sea, many of the gardens at Brighton's heart are inevitably either up or down at the back. This garden is raised to catch the sun and reached by a short flight of shallow steps it is made child and pet secure by railings and a gate, so is ideal for the al fresco lifestyle our vibrant metropolis is known for. The painted walls create an unusually private sun trap which is party perfect with a low maintenance astro turf lawn, lighting and power points.

The first floor bathroom, family bedroom and master bedroom:

On the landing, the light and airy bathroom has a Victorian influence with a freestanding bath which has a traditional shower attachment. The separate, walk in shower has St James's dual head fittings, the hand basin is set within a bespoke unit and there is underfloor heating as well as twin heated rails on each side of feature double doors. Next door, the smart cloakroom with a second w.c. Is a useful asset in a busy home.

Along the hall, the first of the double bedrooms is quiet and comfortable with views over a forest of gardens and a unique mural between fitted wardrobes is by famous local artist, Adam Regester. At the front, the master bedroom is a serene sanctuary to return to, spanning the full width of this substantial property with a handsome marble fireplace, restful height and handmade wardrobes with designated spaces built in. A broad bay almost fills the front wall to flood the room with morning sunshine and brings in a relaxing vista over the historic homes opposite.

Two second floor bedrooms and shower room, and the top floor bedroom

On the landing, with heating concealed beneath the designer tiled floor, the luxury shower room is freshly installed and high end Burlington fittings include a dual head shower where you can revitalise in complete seclusion. Next door, the third double room has plenty of character of its own with a pretty period fireplace, fitted wardrobes almost to the ceiling – which is high -and open views over our glittering metropolis to the sea, and it would be easy to create a master/guest suite simply by reinstating a door in the hall between these two bedrooms. Quiet and comfortable with garden views, the fourth of the generous double bedrooms is restful in the restrained tones of Farrow and Ball with alcoves for wardrobes. Alone at the top of the house, the fifth bedroom is a peaceful paradise with 15'7'' x 10'0'' (4.7m x 3.20m) of floorspace to enjoy, dormer window and plenty of under eave storage, so it could also be a tranquil place in which to work undisturbed from home.

Agent Says:

"Houses in this quiet lattice of attractive Victorian terraces do not come on the market often and this big, bright house has sparkling sea views and sunny west facing garden."

Owner's secret:

"Although we are looking forward to our new step after 10 happy years, we shall miss our considerate neighbours who are now friends-and there is a community what's app group for our occasional street parties. Family life is effortless with parks, good schools and friendly shops all within easy reach, and the proximity to bus routes and station makes our commute quick and gives older children a degree of independence. We have enjoyed the light and space inside and our favourite 'room' has to be the garden, where we can relax in peaceful seclusion and forget about the world."
