House For Sale £750,000
With a 50 foot, southeast garden and glorious woodland views sweeping down to the sea, this big, five bedroom house feels a world away from the stresses of the city but is in fact within a golden 3 minute radius of sought after primary schools including outstanding St Luke’s, the playground and cafés of Queen’s Park, and the County Hospital – all also an easy walk. With an impressive 1377 square feet offering flexible options for work, rest or play, inside blends period charm with a contemporary social flow. A spacious reception of classic proportion is a room for all seasons with an open fire, whilst the fabulous kitchen diner has walls of glass to embrace its stunning setting and a door to a landscaped garden where the lawn is large and level, a feature hard to find as Brighton is built on hills. Upstairs, the stylish bedrooms are comfortable, both bathrooms have a luxury finish and neighbours allow access to a side gate to the garden where you will find a large storage area beneath the house designed for surfboards, bikes etc as the sea is a 5 minute drive and access to the Downs is around the corner. Quiet but convenient with plentiful permit parking, this hilltop is a central point within our famous coastal resort where you can get out of the city – or into Kemptown, North Laine and Hove within minutes- and the station to Gatwick and London is 20 minutes by bus or 10 by cab.
Queen’s Park is one of the most sought after areas of our glamorous metropolis with a relaxed vibe and all the local amenities you need including café’s, bistro pubs and small supermarkets. Tucked away from the tourists who flock to our legendary resort you are still within easy reach of all it has to offer – and on a broad, leafy avenue on a hill with no building directly behind it, this home enjoys uninterrupted light. Set well back from the street and picture perfect behind a tiled garden with a bike store the owners are willing to discuss, this chain free period beauty has immediate appeal. Inside the inviting hallway sets the classic tone of the interior, all in white with painted wood panelling, high ceilings and good grade herringbone flooring.
Full of light, to your right a graceful reception is a restful retreat to return to with soft tartan carpet underfoot, and a big bay of windows have colonial shutters which will stay. Majestic proportions are instantly soothing and a stately fireplace is open, so could add warmth as far as the current owners are aware.
With a user friendly finish and a welcoming, social focus the kitchen/diner opens to the dynamic landscaping of the garden for a sophisticated, al fresco lifestyle. Inside, skilled design has created a feel good room where an extension with a glass roof is lined with windows to bring the outside in. Beautifully designed to create areas for indoor play as well as a designated space for a large table for informal gatherings (or where you can all discuss homework as you bake the incentive to finish) there is magnificent 22’1 x 15’3 in which to celebrate friends and family – and guests can dine in rare seclusion as no buildings overlook this hilltop home. Carefully planned, ivory units conceal sophisticated storage solutions and are topped by plenty of solid wood worktop, the fabulous Tecnik multi fuel range could stay subject to circumstance and a microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher (new at Christmas) are integrated for you as is plumbing for a washer drier.
Planned for ease of maintenance, steps lead down to the side gate and a level lawn made private and child/pet secure by fencing and walls. A haven of calm in the city with uninterrupted sunshine from the east and the south – and at about 50’ long, almost unheard of in this historic quarter, it is large enough to catch the afternoon and evening sunshine which is why the dining deck is at the far end.
Returning inside, at the top of the stairs the light and airy bathroom has a Victorian influence in the traditional cabinet beneath the hand basin and style of the dual headed shower attachment, but there is nothing old fashioned about the designer finish which includes a shaped bath and warming rails for towels.
On the first floor, the first of the double bedrooms is a generous double, and a picture window almost fills the east wall to frame the morning light and leafy views which sweep down the valley to a glimmer of sea. Spanning the full width of the house, the second double bedroom has plenty of character of its own with alcoves for wardrobes on each side of a feature fireplace and a broad bay where you can appreciate the tree lined street – without having a tree outside to block the light. Next door the third bedroom is a substantial single, perfect as a nursery or home office.
Private and peaceful on the top floor, this house spreads its wings in a light-filled extension completed in 2018. Designed for the current owner’s children but with a wall you could remove between the two rooms if you’d like to ramp up the glamour and create a principal suite, at the front, the fourth bedroom has 14’6 x 7’10 (4.4m x 2.4m) of floorspace to enjoy, under eave and over stair storage, and glimpses through one of the Velux in the west roofline over a glittering cityscape to the bay of Worthing for the sunsets. Next door, the fifth room is a serene sanctuary delivering 14’6 x 9’4 of floorspace in which to admire the magnificent, panoramic seaside views and by it, a chic shower room has high end fittings and flawless finish.

“Our secret is out! This beautiful house with a fantastic garden and glorious views is in a favourite location with swift access to the South Downs and the sea, parks and good schools but also sought after by professionals who work in the city or commute as although it is quiet at night it is easily connected to the whole of Brighton & Hove and the A23/A27 and airports.”
Owner’s secret:
“Although we are ready to embrace our next step, we shall miss our beautiful home which has seen many happy celebrations and has always given friends a warm welcome. All of the rooms are big and bright and we have loved the kitchen diner as we enjoy cooking, and it is a relaxing entertaining space where the children have room to run about and in and out, and guests always comment on the positive, relaxed vibe they get here. The garden is ideal as it is large but private, and we really enjoy the views and watching the variety of birds who come to visit. This is a friendly area with shops, cafés and bistro pubs to explore and a farmer’s market at the Pepper Pot every week, and family life is made easy with good schools and shops including a small supermarket, all close by. If you are new to Brighton, it is easy to meet people with countryside walks and cycle rides around the corner and the park has an inclusive community whether you’re a jogger, dog walker, tennis player or family enjoying the playground, and it hosts interesting arts events during festivals.”
