House For Sale £550,000
A four minute stroll from the tennis courts, café and playground of Queen’s Park and 5 from the beach, this stylish two bedroom house invites company with sunny, spacious rooms offering flexible options, a private patio for entertaining and there is also rare potential to grow, STC. Tucked away in an access only street of painted Victorian terraces behind Brighton College - with friendly local amenities around the corner - it has plenty of period charm and thanks to a sensitive but thorough refurbishment in 2015 it is ready to move into.
Inside has plenty of character with oak flooring and a wood burner in the freshly decorated double depth reception, whilst the contemporary kitchen is perfect for entertaining as it has space for a bistro set and opens to a private patio ideal for the relaxed, al fresco lifestyle our coastal resort is famous for. Upstairs, a fabulous bathroom serves two comfortable double bedrooms, and a broad landing with access to an attic raises interesting possibilities.
Known for its quiet convenience and friendly community as houses here simply do not appear on the market often, this sought after street attracts professionals, investors and families as the local schools are good, the County Hospital, Law centres and Amex are within walking distance, and nearby bus routes serve the whole of the city, including the station which is a 15 minute ride.
This is a secret enclave of pretty painted terraces and a sought after destination by people of all ages- and with a friendly community which hosts street parties and an organic farmers market nearby it is easy to see why its appeal continues to grow. Outside, this bay fronted beauty has irresistible charm. Inside every room is big and bright, and delivers the best of both worlds as an expert refurbishment from top to toe with new electrics, plumbing, new insulated ceilings, roof purlins and roof overhaul, smart internal doors, plenty of plastering and revamped front windows has retained gracious proportions and original period features.
Inside, the hallway has crisp lines with intricate plaster finials overhead, and good grade oak flooring gives guests and children free reign as it flows into a sun filled living/dining room to share with friends and family. Classically beautiful and welcoming in any season with a broad bay almost filling the south wall and large window at the back to frame leafy views, (where some neighbours have put French doors) guests can relax by the wood burning stove or dine in rare seclusion enjoying the garden at any time of year, and a discreet hatch through to kitchen ensures a seamless flow of food and conversation with whoever is cooking!
Stylish, spacious and with scope for a bistro set, the kitchen is lined with windows and has a door to the garden, ideal for the relaxed al fresco lifestyle Brighton is famous for. With a tiled floor for an easy in/out flow, timeless shaker units to provide ample storage and user friendly solid wood surfaces it is good to go with an integrated gas hob and oven beneath a hood, a fridge and a washing machine.
Outside, planted with an array of flowering plants - including honeysuckle, bluebells, agapanthus, daffodils & hyacinths -a broad side return wraps around to the back of the house and open to the east and west it is a quiet retreat to enjoy, paved for outside dining and made private by the delicate foliage and scented tendrils of the neighbours wisteria and jasmine – so you know it gets the sun. Designed for ease of maintenance with raised beds it is a blank canvas which is child and pet secure.
Returning inside, at the top of the stairs a big, bright bathroom has a contemporary suite with a shower above the bath, a vanity unit beneath the Sanovit hand basin and glorious views across a sea of gardens.
On the first floor and quiet at the back, the first double bedroom has leafy views – so it isn’t directly overlooked – and a light and airy refuge with restful decoration and period fireplace it is ready for your move. At the front, the generous principal bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary with plenty of character of its own with a custom made wardrobe on one side of a handsome fireplace, and a bay of windows to bring in the sunlight. Both bedrooms have bespoke wardrobes, matching the bespoke cupboard and shelves in the living room. There is also additional under stair storage to keep the home clutter free.
Agent says:
“Ideal for commuters with families there are good primary schools nearby and Queen’s Park is around the corner. If you are a health professional, the hospital is just a few minutes’ walk and you can reach every part of the city from here on foot, by bus or by cab.”
Owner’s secret:
“This is a secret lattice of pretty period streets which are very quiet but convenient for the city and the sea. Local bus routes take you to the station and give you, guests or older children independence from the car and the house has worked well for us both as a family home as the schools, park and beach are a walk, and as a home for us as a couple as bars, restaurants and theatres are also easy to reach – and when we have had to work away the proximity to major employers has helped to provide a reliable income.”
