Description
Guide Price £350,000 - £375,000

On a road that connects you to the leafy centre of the city at The Level (5 minutes on foot) and open countryside by our glamorous racecourse (10 minutes stroll) this big, bright two bedroom maisonette offers a convenient location – and a stylish open plan lifestyle with a sun deck large enough for al fresco entertaining. With a private entrance through the original front door of a period terraced house this spacious home spreads its wings over the 1st floor of a three storey Victorian property where the large kitchen/living/dining room is good to go, and both double bedrooms are ideal for guests and sharers as they are on different levels. An ideal step up, first family home or investment, this connected area of the city is popular with professionals as Brighton General Hospital is a 10 minute walk and other major employers like Amex, the universities, police station and the County Hospital are all within a 15-20 minute bus ride. Within walking distance of the vibrant London Road shops and bars it is future proof with a good primary nearby, and if you need swift access to the airports and London, the main station and A23/A27 are easy to reach.

Elm Grove sweeps down from Brighton General Hospital (a 10 minute walk) and this fabulous house, painted in the tradition of our pretty period terraces is at the other end, close to the Level and shopping of Lewes and London Roads. Set back behind a front garden from a tree-lined street which has plentiful permit parking, first impressions are good and get even better as this maisonette is already double glazed and it also has its own front door and private hallway.

At the top of a broad staircase, the big bathroom is bright, cheerful and practical with a non-slip floor, warming rail for towels and a shower above the bath. Tucked away by the door, there is also plumbing for a washing machine and plenty of storage.

Up a few steps, at the front of the building, the open plan living room has restful proportions and you get the full benefit of being on one of Brighton’s famous hills as uninterrupted sunshine streams through both a broad bay and tall sash in the south wall. Inviting company with 16’1 x 13’3 (4.89m x 4.03m) in which to work, rest or play, the stylish kitchen is custom made and well planned with steel working surfaces. The gas/multi fuel oven could stay subject to circumstance, and the owners are also willing to discuss the fridge and microwave.

Next door, the guest bedroom is ready to move into with a fitted wardrobe. Peaceful and private at the back, it looks over the garden with no building directly behind – unusual in this historic quarter.

Upstairs with ingenious storage for garden chairs, a butterfly landing leads up or out…. Up takes you to the principal bedroom which spreads its wings from east to west and has Velux in both those rooflines to frame open views so you don’t feel hemmed in. There is a double wardrobe behind the door as well as under eave storage and the room is a comfortable double of 13’11 x 13’8 (4.24m x 4.18m).

Outside, the roof deck has ample space for al fresco entertaining. Open to the east and west it is the only roof terrace in sight, so it rather special, and the views are leafy and interesting with a vista sweeping up the hill to the red brick of the popular Elm Grove Primary School, and down to the striking, Grade II* listed façade of St Joseph’s Church, so guests can relax in rare seclusion.

Agent says:

“This is an unpretentious area full of young professionals and families with shops, cafes and bistro pubs nearby. Big and bright, this property offers the best of all worlds as The Level, which has a playground, café and hosts events during our festivals is a 5 minute walk, the Legendary North Laine is about 8 and countryside walks are a 5-10 minute stroll.”

Owner’s secret:

“Sunny and spacious it is easy to live in and friends love the choice between a picnic in the Level for lunch or an evening bbq on the roof terrace after a day on the beach. The location is really convenient with everything you need as well as a lot to explore and it would be great as a rental or family home, too.”

You can picnic on the beaches of Kemptown, which has its own eclectic character and collection of amenities on offer or in Queen’s Park, which has tennis courts, a pond, and café, and you can access everything this coastal city has to offer – including the universities and station serving the airports and London- on foot, by bus or by cab.
