House For Sale, Guildford Street, Brighton BN1

Description

Tucked away from tourist crowds but convenient for all our legendary party resort has to offer, this fabulous two bedroom home with a sunny, west facing patio has roared back to life under an expert eye which effortlessly blends the best of contemporary design with period charm. Solid wood underfoot, historic oak overhead and characterful handmade kitchen in the open plan living room deliver the wow factor and upstairs, a volcanic stone bath graces a designer bathroom, both double bedrooms are unusually stylish and a large attic offers interesting options, subject to the usual consents. With the station to the airports, Portsmouth and London a two minute stroll and the vibrant al fresco lifestyle of the North Laine around the corner, this exciting location within walking distance of our world famous seafront attracts professionals, families and international investors.

In the prestigious West Hill conservation area this building radiates charm from the vibrant front door with refurbished iron work at the front to the raised, scented sun trap at the back. On a hidden, one way street it is quieter than its fashionable location may suggest and inside, the small lobby glitters in designer paper giving an indication of the treat in store.

Perfect for entertaining friends and family, the ground floor has been opened up to create a spacious living/dining room, full of light with an enlarged window at the front and French doors sweeping open to the west. Beautiful features include stripped floorboards and sleek contemporary radiators, and surprisingly high overhead, a sturdy oak beam bearing names of previous owners adds character. At the heart of this home, the dining area flows into the kitchen which is sociable but cleverly planned so the washing up is out of sight of the main room.

Painted, handmade units and a deep, lit larder provide ample storage and stylish working surfaces glint silver beneath the south facing windows. A gift for gourmets, there is designated space for a tall fridge freezer, plumbing is in place for two machines and the fabulous De Longhi multi fuel range could stay subject to circumstance.

Outside, steps rise to a sunny terrace, scented by honeysuckle. Facing west it is also open to the south so you can bask in the Sussex sunshine for most of the day, and with gardens on three sides it is a peaceful oasis, paved and lit for private al fresco dining.
Returning inside, at the top of the stairs the large bathroom is wet room in style and designer from top to toe. The Victoria & Albert volcanic stone baignoir has instant hot water and the separate, high end dual head Grohe shower is thermostatic. A handbasin rests on a traditional cabinet, whilst dark porcelain underfoot conceals underfloor heating.

Ahead, a bright landing has access to the unusually roomy attic which is boarded, lit and has a built in ladder – and it is worth noting that some neighbours have dormer windows at the top. Light and airy at the back of the building, the first of the double bedrooms is not directly overlooked and the big double glazed window opens fully to frame the patio. Stretching across the whole of the front of this delightful Victorian property and decorated in soothing tones, the principle bedroom is all you could dream of with two large windows almost filling the east wall and two individually designed walk in closets maximise storage- and ramp up the glamour.
