House For Sale £475,000
Fabulous from the immaculate decorative cobblestone and mortar frontage to a secret slice of New Zealand's lush loveliness at the back, this luxury two bedroom retreat is chain free and good to go. An architecturally sensitive, 1950's build with a generous 818 square feet (76.0m2) to enjoy it is far bigger than its neat exterior suggests and inside, a skilled eye has created an inviting retreat where a ground floor of understated elegance is for all seasons with a remote controlled fire in the spacious living/dining room, and a stylish kitchen leads through to a fabulous, landscaped garden full of birdsong and dappled sunshine. Less than 400 yards from the seafront, the Royal Pavilion and Queen's Park it will attract sociable professionals with a generous double guest room opening to a Mediterranean style rooftop and restful principle bedroom, both ready to move into, whilst investors will like its location just a 2 minute walk from Amex and Brighton University's Edward Street Campus, 3 to the vibrant St James's Street, 4 to the courts and police station, and just 15 to the County Hospital. If you need swift access to the airports, London or Portsmouth, the station is just 5 minutes by cab - and now is the time to buy in this ever popular area as the new Edward Street Quarter is under construction.
Chic and central, now is the time to buy this elegant home with a sunny east west orientation on a relatively quiet street within a short walk of the cultural heart of the city, legendary Lanes and the sea. Outside radiates charm and inside, the lobby with rush matting by the front door and designer tiling set the stylish yet practical tone of this comfortable home.
Inside, the ground floor is exceptionally inviting with a gleaming parquet floor which puts guests at ease, and it is tastefully decorated in the heritage hues of Farrow & Ball. Thoughtfully planned with a living area by the broad west windows which stretch to the ceiling – which is high – a remote controlled, flame effect fire within a handsome surround adds warmth as well as character. At the heart of this companionable space is the dining zone, large enough for a sizeable table, and both areas are beautifully connected by handmade cabinets providing all the storage you could hope for. Next door, a bright and cheerful kitchen has quarry tiles underfoot and looks across the delightful garden so a discreet eye can be kept on guests needs. Classic shaker units are topped by timeless wood, but there is nothing old fashioned about the high spec appliances which include a gas hob, hood, grill and oven, as well as a tap which supplies "freshly squeezed water" by reverse osmosis. Well planned with designated areas for a tall fridge freezer and a microwave, a deep cupboard by the door to the lobby conceals plumbing for a washing machine and combi boiler whilst in the lobby, which also has a cloakroom, a second under stair closet has space for a drier.
It is rare to find a home where the garden is as glorious as the house itself, but this lit exotica is a beauty, ideal for the summertime al fresco lifestyle Brighton is famous for with a terrace by the house for lunch in the sun and a relaxing, raised dining area where sculptural Lancewood and Manuka tree blossoms and are joined by other New Zealand species all chosen for their lush foliage and textures, and which also happen to be mainly low maintenance as they love heavy rain or drought.
Returning inside, a hushed inner lobby leads from the living room to a private staircase, ensuring the first floor bedrooms are quiet. On the landing, a luxury bathroom has a shaped bath with a shower above it, a lit mirror over a handbasin which has storage beneath it, and a designer finish. Back on the landing there is access to the loft, which is fully boarded and insulated and currently used as extra storage space by the owners. Along the hallway, the generous guest room has streamlined storage which includes a workstation should you wish to work from home, and it opens to a sunny rooftop, where the current owners have placed pots to bring the outside in. At the front of the house, the serene principle bedroom spans the full width of the house, and with calm decoration and arched wardrobes, it is a restful haven to return to.
Agent says:
"Homes sell quickly in this sought after location with the Royal Pavilion, Theatre Royal and Dome on your doorstep. Close to the professional heart of the city, it will also attract professionals wanting a healthier lifestyle within walking distance of the sea and tennis courts of Queen's Park with the South Downs National Park surrounding the city."
Owner's secret:
"As a more modern building there is a surprising amount of space inside and out, and we have enjoyed many happy times entertaining friends and family here. We shall miss the amount of storage this house provides as well as our lovely neighbours, as although the location is so convenient, the street is quiet with a friendly community as once people have found this secret area they tend to stay."
