Description
** guide price: £525,000 - £550,000 **

Between the sea and the Downs, this spacious two/three bedroom terraced house in a quiet cul de sac is a stylish but user friendly home with a family kitchen/living room extending into a conservatory which opens to a sunny patio, a graceful reception on the ground floor ideal for entertaining, and both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with fitted storage. With a sunny east west orientation, the designer finish includes dimmer switches in all of the rooms and timber framed double glazing at the front, and the large attic means there is potential to grow, subject to the usual consents. Attracting young professionals, families and investors, houses in this tranquil enclave of attractive terraces sell fast with a park, choice of popular schools, thriving High Street and the County Hospital nearby, and now is the time to buy as plans are being discussed to improve the neighbouring Black Rock. You can walk to the Marina's cinemas and waterfront restaurants, there are buses to the city and universities, and the world famous Lanes are just 5- minutes by cab.

5 minutes' walk from the beach and a park which leads to Downland, and 10-15 on foot to the hospital, this stylishly reimagined home is in a peaceful cul de sac within a tranquil enclave of well-kept period terraces where houses do not come on the market often, and outside radiates charm with the original patterned brickwork, box bays and iron railings. Inside is instantly inviting with generous proportions, the hallway introduces you to the sophisticated tone of the interiors and a cloakroom is tucked away on the half landing.

With a sunny east west orientation, light streams through a ground floor which has been opened up to create a bright and sociable space with ample room to enjoy with friends -or to share if you both work from home. Stripped floors and floating shelving keep the feel contemporary, whilst the original fireplace adds character.

A stylish retreat, downstairs the open plan family room and kitchen extends into a glamorous conservatory ideal for dining at the back and has its own entrance to the street for supermarket deliveries at the front. Running the full depth of this substantial building, there is plenty of floorspace to play with and at its heart, the streamlined kitchen is good to go with gleaming granite surfaces and high spec integrated appliances which include a Bosch gas hob, a hood, Zanussi combi plus fan oven, fridge and freezer, and plumbing is in place for a dishwasher (there's plumbing for a washer drier elsewhere…). The conservatory, with a tinted glass ceiling and a skylight to prevent over heating in the Sussex sunshine at lunch is also ideal for guests to enjoy dining beneath the stars, and it opens to the patio which is a perfect extension of the house during summer - and it is child and pet friendly, secure with walls and new fencing.

Returning inside, the bathroom is a classic black and white with a dual head shower above the bath, designer tap on the hand basin and lined with storage, it also has natural light and a heated rail for towels. Up on the first floor, the first of the double bedrooms soothes the spirit with restful views over gardens and handsome original fireplace. At the front, the master bedroom is a natural beauty with original floorboards, calm decoration and twin double wardrobes to create a calm and clutter free sanctuary at the end of a busy day in the city.

Quiet but convenient, this area has good transport links in or out of the city and there is a friendly community here as these homes don't come onto the market very often – and sell fast.
