House For Sale £600,000
Tucked away in a secret enclave of tranquil, well-kept terraces behind Brighton College, this charming Victorian house has three/four double bedrooms, elegant period features including open fireplaces in the living rooms and a sociable kitchen diner opening to a sun terrace and party patio. Family friendly with stripped, sanded floors and crisp décor, a streamlined kitchen and luxury bathroom are part of a sensitive refurbishment to breathe new life into this bay fronted beauty which has a Tardis-like interior and flexible layout. On a quiet one way, access only street in a sought after area known for its friendly community, good schools and local shops, homes here do not appear on the market often – and sell fast as it is between Queen's Park and the bohemian café culture and beaches of Kemptown, which also hosts the County Hospital. Ideal for professionals, families and investors, a scenic 15 minute stroll along the seafront takes you to the picturesque Georgian heart of the city or waterfront restaurants of the Marina, and the station serving the airports and London are easy to reach on foot, by bus or by cab.
Homes on this particularly quiet street do not come onto the market very often so there is a real sense of community here – and the residents have a summer street party to celebrate. With broad bays facing south for the sun this house has plenty of kerb appeal and a choice of entrance – through an inviting, stained glass door into a hallway with period features for guests, or private door to the family room downstairs for everyday use – and inside, a thorough refurbishment over the last three years has included timber framed double glazing at the front of the property, gorgeous new bathroom and intercontinental kitchen.
Embracing friends, family and life opening up again, this house has easy going stripped floors and solid wood doors. At the front on the ground floor, and often used as a bedroom in these practical homes, a spacious living room has a broad south bay bringing the sunshine in all day. Sanded wood is underfoot, elegant coving is overhead and this is a room to enjoy in all seasons with a handsome, working fireplace. Next door, the guest bedroom is well proportioned and pretty in pink with garden views, and has one alcove by a feature fireplace for wardrobes whilst the other has a dressing/computer table.
Downstairs, the entrance to the street is ideal for supermarket deliveries whilst a door at the top of the internal stairs keeps the bustle of a busy kitchen away from the main house. Running the full depth of the building with windows at each end, the bright and cheerful kitchen diner is right on trend with a choice of lighting levels, traditional open fire by the seating and dining areas, and stylish kitchen adorned by glorious Spanish tiling which leads out to the garden. Ready for use, the touch induction hob and fan oven are integrated beneath a sculptural hood the dishwasher is integrated for you and under stair cupboards conceal extra storage and plumbing for a washer/drier. Outside, the lit sun deck is the perfect extension of the house, large enough for al fresco dining and it steps down to a child and pet secure patio, paved for ease of maintenance with space for a shed and/or a Wendy house.
Returning inside, the first floor bathroom is a soothing sanctuary big enough for both a bath with wand shower attachment and luxury walk in shower, and provides the best of both worlds with a period fireplace for character and designer radiator to warm your towels.
Spanning the whole width of this substantial house, the principal bedroom is a light and airy retreat in which to spread your wings with peaceful dove grey walls, plenty of floorspace to play with and fitted shelving, so you won't need to change a thing. Not to be outshone, at the top of the house a private double bedroom has twin Velux in the south roofline to attract the Sussex sunshine, generous under eave storage and plenty of appeal of its own.
Agent says:
"Quiet and convenient there is a friendly community here as homes simply don't come on the market often as once found, people like to stay: This area has good schools, a park with a playground and café and the beach all within walking distance and although the station in under 30 minutes on foot, it also has bus routes into and out of the city."
Owner's secret:
"The location suits a busy lifestyle, but you'll return to peace and quiet – and friendly neighbours. Our summer street party and winter mulled wine evenings make it easy to meet people if you are new to the area but it is also an easy spot for old friends to visit by train, bus or car. We have enjoyed the period features, generous room sizes and high ceilings here (my partner is 6'3''!) and it has been lovely to live so near to the sea as well as the leafy walks, playground and pond of Queen's Park."
