House For Sale £450,000
Guide price: £450,000--£475,000.
Internal viewings available on request.
An immaculate and stylish interior awaits in this sweet two-bedroom bungalow which sits perched on the hill with exceptional views across the South Downs National Park. Having been expertly renovated in recent months, it is impressive, yet there is further scope to put your own stamp on the place within the wrap around garden which has been partially landscaped and newly fenced to the rear, leaving the front gardens to be developed. As a single storey building, there is also potential to create two further bedrooms in the loft space which would add considerable value, and likewise, the detached garage is ripe for conversion. While there is a parking bay in front of the garage, there is also potential to create two further spaces to the front if required, although parking is free in the surrounding streets.
This leafy suburb is well known for its family friendly community, and there are several popular local schools, parks and shops, making this the ideal home for young families, downsizers and professionals alike. With so many favourable attributes, this property will not stay on the market for long.
Style: Semi-detached bungalow 1930s
Type: 2 double bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 living/dining room, 1 conservatory, 1 kitchen
Location: Patcham
Floor Area: Please see floor plan
Outside: Wrap around garden north/east/south (rear)
Parking: Single garage and drive
Council Tax Band: C
Why you’ll like it:
Looking out over the rolling patchwork hills of the South Downs towards the gleaming dome of the Chatteri War Memorial and Devil’s Dyke in the far distance, it is hard to believe this two-bedroom bungalow is so well-connected to the city. You get the best of both worlds living in Patcham with plenty of local amenities, excellent transport links and a welcoming community – all nestled into the leafy outskirts of Brighton & Hove.
Holding a corner plot, this property has a wrap-around garden with the detached garage and driveway to the rear. A pretty, patterned tile path leading down to the door, where stepping inside, it is immediately clear this is a beautifully renovated home.
The house has a classic layout with the kitchen sitting aside the living room which has ample space for dining, relaxation and entertaining. It is a versatile space which is currently used as a bedroom as it mirrors the shape and size of the master bedroom, so it is simply a choice as to whether you wish to wake to garden or countryside views each day. Amtico oak-effect flooring runs seamlessly throughout the entire space, paired with soft greige walls with the woodwork picked out in white. The flooring runs through to the conservatory which becomes an extension of the room for summer dining, leading out to the garden.
Well-designed to brighten and open up the space, the kitchen has a wealth of storage at both base and wall levels with open shelving to one side for glassware and crockery. Pale timber cabinets are topped with slimline laminate, marbled worktops with the Franke sink perfectly cut-in. The Smeg cooker and fridge freezer are freestanding (and may be available with the sale by separate negotiation), while there is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer in an adjoining vestibule which also leads out to the garden.
Levelled, set to lawn and landscaped to include new border walls, a new hedgerow and contemporary baton fencing, the rear garden offers plenty of space for children to play. Close to the house, the patio has been left untouched, but it is the perfect space for dining alfresco in the morning sun which streams in from the east. It is a real sun trap all day due to its elevation on the hill and open southerly aspect, so plants will thrive, yet it is nicely low maintenance at present – ready for the busy modern lifestyle.
From here there is access to the garage which would ideally be converted to a more usable space – a gym, workshop or home office perhaps, as it already has windows and an electricity supply.
Both bedrooms sit to the front of the house where the views really come into play and are a joy to wake up to. The master bedroom is a generous double, where even with a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding bedroom furniture, the floor space will not be compromised. While the second bedroom is smaller with room for a bed and a wardrobe, there is potential to create two further double bedrooms in the loft space – as many neighbours have set a precedence and planning permissions are easier to come by here.
The current bedrooms both have easy access to the bathroom which is on trend with picket wall tiles, plenty of built-in storage for toiletries, and a contemporary white suite with a shower over the bath.
Agent’s thoughts:
As it stands, this is a hugely attractive property with a stylish finish throughout sitting in a highly sought-after location. The potential it holds for extension will also appeal to families and developers alike, who will appreciate the value added.
