Style: 1st floor flat in a Victorian terraced house
Bedrooms: 1 double
Living rooms: 1 spacious
Area: 546 sq.ft./ 50.7 sq.m.
Outside: Garden to the rear
Location: Hollingdean/Fiveways
Parking: Free on street
Why you'll like it:
The Victorian terraces at the south end of the street were amongst the first residential properties to be built in Hollingdean which was mainly farmland at the time of their construction. It is now a thriving and vibrant community with a mix of families and professionals, and while it sits on the outskirts of the city centre, you can walk to the North Laine in just ten minutes.
Repainted in 2017, the façade of this Victorian house is smart in cream with its architectural features picked out in charcoal. You enter a short communal hallway, shared by just one other, and your door opens to an internal staircase leading to the main body of the flat. This has a quintessential Victorian conversion layout, with the kitchen at the rear, the living room spanning the front of the house, and the bedroom and bathroom in between.
The current owners had rented this property for seven years prior to purchasing it in 2017. In this time, they have renewed the heating system with a new combination boiler and redecorated throughout to give the entire flat a fresh, modern and stylish finish, making it ready to move straight into.
Directly ahead from the top of the stairs, the kitchen is a generous room with plenty of units in a modern-country style and Victorian patterned tiles as splashbacks. The appliances are freestanding and may be negotiable with the sale, but there is space for a cooker, washing machine and a fridge freezer. The outlook is lovely during the summer with a south facing window and a door looking out over the garden. This has been laid to lawn and has a lovely seating area for dining alfresco which catches the last of the sunshine. It is a real oasis during the warmer weather when it becomes an extension of the home, and for the green fingered, there are beds for planting. The neighbouring gardens are equally attractive, and it is surprisingly tranquil for somewhere so central- it's hard to believe you are just ten minutes from the bustling city out here.
Returning to the flat, the bathroom is fresh in white with a modern white suite with a shower over the bath and a feature wall with geometric patterning accentuated in gold which is also picked out in the radiator.
New grey carpet runs along the landing to the bedroom which is conveniently next door. This room is peacefully positioned looking out over the gardens and has ample space for a double bed and several pieces of freestanding furniture. Again, the wallpaper is stylish using a subtle geometric print in gold on white which will complement many styles of furnishing.
The living room is a generous size with defined areas for dining, relaxing and work space if you need it, and a wide bay window faces west so a lovely, warm light streams in during the afternoon and early evening. The fireplace has not been lit by the current owners, so it may be possible to open – although it will need professional investigation before doing so.
Agent's thoughts:
This is the ideal home for first time buyers or investors who would be able to let it out with ease due to the favourable location and fine finish throughout.
Owner's secret
"We loved the flat when we rented it, so we bought it as soon as we found out it was coming onto the market. We have enjoyed renovating and making the space our own, and the garden was a blessing during the recent lockdowns. We love the area as there is a real sense of community here and it is so convenient for getting in and out of the city. After 10-years living here, we are now ready to upsize to a house, but we will miss the area hugely."
