House For Sale £500,000
Chic and central with abundant charm and an exotic, sunny garden, this inviting 3/4 bedroom Victorian beauty is on a sought after, quiet terrace less than 400 yards from the seafront, the Royal Pavilion and Queen’s Park. With a flexible layout, this gabled house will attract sociable professionals, a family or investors with a ground floor where the original parlour is currently a generous bedroom, and a spacious living/dining room opens both to a kitchen and a vaulted conservatory which leads to a lush paradise with a holiday feel. Upstairs, a stylish bathroom is next to a single room/ home office whilst two further double bedrooms brim with character and light. Just a 2 minute walk from Amex and Brighton University’s Edward Street Campus, 3 to vibrant St James’s Street, 4 to the courts and police station, and just 15 to the County Hospital, local schools are good – and include Brighton College. If you need swift access to the airports, London or Portsmouth, the station is just 5 minutes by cab - and now is the time to buy in this ever popular area as the new Amex pedestrian plaza is under construction.
Now is the time to buy this cheerful home with a sunny east west orientation on a surprisingly quiet street given its fabulous location within a short walk of the vibrant cultural heart of the city, legendary Georgian Lanes and the sea. Outside radiates appeal with a tall gable and pretty brick work which picks out the large windows which are now double glazed throughout the house – white at the front in keeping with age of the building and timber framed at the back to frame the verdant garden. Inside, the hallway is welcoming with an old school radiator introducing the sensitive updating of this charming home where limed wood flooring underfoot continues into both receptions, giving children and visitors free reign.
The spacious parlour is simple but stylish and one of the unique details about this historic home is that it comes with a covenant not to be used as a ‘shebeen’ (informal Irish pub)! With a handsome fireplace to enjoy and streamlined shelving it is, however, used as a glamorous double bedroom, ideal for guests or health professionals who work unsociable hours as it is at the front of the house, away from the other bedrooms.
At the back, the living/dining room is a spacious refuge to return to, ideal for relaxing and with plenty of space to enjoy with friends. A period fireplace with a coal effect gas fire adds warmth as well as character, wood panelling conceals under stair cupboards, (the larger one with power for a drier) and French doors lead through to a vaulted conservatory, big enough for dining whilst enjoying the garden. Designed to be sociable, there is also a doorway to the kitchen, lined with windows to bring the garden in and which also has a door to the conservatory.
Good to go, the contemporary kitchen is beautifully planned with streamlined units delivering sophisticated storage solutions, user friendly solid wood surfaces and an easy flow from the central touch induction hob, fan oven and hood. Plumbing is in place for both a dishwasher and a washing machine and a door leads through to the inviting conservatory, a secluded idyll which also has water pipes as it was used as a utility room whilst the house was rented.
It is rare to find a home where the garden is as glorious as the house itself, but this lit exotica is instantly relaxing ideal for the summertime al fresco lifestyle Brighton is famous for with a paved dining area where sculptural Palms and Yucca trees blossom and are joined by other Antipodean species all chosen for their lush foliage and textures, and there is also an outside tap to make maintenance easy.
Returning inside, mounting stairs beneath a skylight a peaceful single bedroom with leafy views is used as a home office and next door, an airy bathroom has a designer finish with a Mira Azora shower above the sweeping bath and shaving point by the chic hand basin.
The upper landing has access to a fully boarded attic with a loft ladder and at the back, a generous double room looks over a sea of gardens (and a flat roof- giving food for thought STC) and ready to move into with stripped floorboards and period fireplace, it has plenty of character of its own. Spanning the full width of the property, the serene principal bedroom has twin, open closets reaching the ceiling – which is high- and the west wall has two broad windows to bring in the evening sunshine.
Agent says:
“Homes sell quickly in this sought after location with the Royal Pavilion, Theatre Royal and Dome on your doorstep. Close to the heart of the city, it will also attract professionals wanting a healthier lifestyle within walking distance of the sea and tennis courts of Queen’s Park, with the South Downs National Park surrounding the city.”
Owner’s secret:
“Every room is light and spacious and the garden is ideal for entertaining or for quiet moments with a book in the sunshine. The house has a lovely feel and easy flow and the location is perfect with the picturesque heart of the city with the Royal Pavilion, Theatre Royal and Dome on your doorstep, which helped provide a healthy income when we were renting the house and which we have really enjoyed especially as you can be car free.”
