House For Sale £600,000
No detail has been overlooked in this beautifully decorated, two bedroom house which radiates charm from the wisteria by the front door to the relaxing, Mediterranean style garden at the back. Two blocks from the sea in the fashionable quarter of Kemptown Village is it ideal as a home, investment or lock up and leave with the hospital a 5 minute walk and the station to the airport and London easy to reach. Inside, the sociable ground floor has a sophisticated layout with a spacious living/dining room, and the designer kitchen has folding doors to an orangery which opens to the garden. Upstairs the spa like bathroom has a two passenger jacuzzi bath as well as a high end shower, both bedrooms are comfortable doubles whilst eco sensitive energy management includes solar panels which feed into the national grid. Never far from fresh coffee or a croissant, the shops and cafés of the Village are around the corner as is award winning Brighton College, whilst a 15 minute stroll along the seafront will take you to the famous cultural heart of our legendary party resort.
Kemptown Village is a sought after area of our fabulous coastal metropolis with an easy going, unpretentious vibe and all the local amenities you need. Only a stone's throw from the sea and between the Pier and Marina you are tucked away from the tourists but able to explore all our holiday resort has to offer on foot, by bus or by cab. Outside, this smart house has immense appeal set back from the quiet well-kept street behind a statement front garden, railings and checkerboard path and it is only on close inspection that you notice that the windows are double glazed and salt resistant.
Inside, the immaculate hallway introduces you to the luxury finish throughout this home – so you can move in, chill the champagne and won't need to change a thing. With the chic factor only a blend of period proportion and skilled contemporary design can create, two rooms have become one to create a light and airy living/dining room with clean crisp lines, high ceiling and engineered oak flooring. A broad south bay brings in the sunshine, there is space for a workstation beneath the stairs and at the back, a window has views through the orangery to the exotic garden.
With ambient lighting which changes to any colour of the rainbow to suit your mood (which also brightens the roof tiles in the garden) the stylish kitchen invites company. Streamlined units provide sophisticated storage, black granite surfaces glitter and good to go, high spec integrated appliances include a Bosch gas hob, Hotpoint oven, AEG micro-combi, dishwasher and filtered boiling water tap. Bi-folding anthracite doors lead into the vaulted orangery which has plenty of space for work, rest or play where the electric underfloor heat continues so you can enjoy the garden at any time of year, and the far wall folds away to bring the outside in.
A secluded idyll, the walled garden is paved with a raised seating/dining level to catch the sun and raised bed for scented climbers. Surrounded by gardens it is brighter and more private than some and the good news is that the vendor is happy to discuss the water feature and furniture, and the water dispensing fridge inside could also stay subject to circumstance.
Returning inside, at the top of the stairs the glamorous bathroom is large enough for a two seater jacuzzi bath and separate dual head shower, there is heating underfoot as well as two tall rails for warming towels and the mirror by the shaving point is sensor lit.
The first floor landing has access to the attic and both bedrooms have contemporary, matching doors with steel and leather fittings. The guest room is private and peaceful looking over gardens, so it is not directly overlooked, and although used as a therapy room, fitted wardrobes are in place. Spanning the full width of the house, the principle bedroom is a beauty, restful and airy with a large triple window bay to bring in the morning sunlight. There is generous floorspace even with a large double bed in situ, and the subtle commitment to detail continues in the custom made colonial style shutters and wardrobe doors.
Agent says:
"Houses within the attractive terraces of the village and so close to the beach do not appear on the market very often, and this house is ready to move into with solar panels which we are told currently provide 1,700kw hours a year = £980 – so it's good to be green!"
Owner's secret:
"10-15 minutes' walk from the city centre there are also plenty of local cafés, bars and restaurants to choose from, so friends like to come here whilst we decide where to explore – and the house is ideal for entertaining as the rooms all flow well. We have enjoyed the balance between the openness of the house and separate spaces so we're not on top of each other all the time, and during summer we spend most of our time in the orangery and garden, which both feel very private."
