Close to the park and convenient for the city with plentiful permit parking, this sought after street is exclusive and in a leafy conversation area to preserve its classic beauty. With immense charm even from the kerb, this terraced home is set privately back behind a garden with a path to a smart front door and inside, an inviting hallway has intriguing glimpses of the garden.

With beautiful Victorian proportions, the restful reception is hushed by secondary glazing on the broad bay which brings in the Sussex sunshine and has space for a window seat beneath it. Elegant coving is high above your head and with plenty of floorspace in which to relax or welcome guests, there is also a fine fireplace to enjoy. Next door, the tranquil dining room has space and grace, and has served many different roles as the family grew from playroom to teenage snug and a place to work from home, and is currently providing an income as a fifth bedroom. Light and airy with a large window looking across the side return to the garden, where some neighbours have put French doors, there is fitted shelving on each side of a period style fire mantle.

Along a hallway with under stair storage, the kitchen diner is sunny side up, lined with windows and a door which opens a broad side return to the garden to make al fresco living easy – and which gives food for thought STC. There is ample space for a family table where homework can be discussed as you cook or for informal suppers with friends and it is a gift for those who love to cook or those who want to share with plenty of sturdy units with user friendly surfaces and a deep cupboard. There is designated space for a freestanding gas cooker and fridge freezer, and plumbing is place for a washing machine.

Outside, a delightful, west facing oasis is open to the south. Paved for ease of maintenance and although in need of a little tidying, it is large enough for al fresco dining in style, child and pet secure and made private from the higher garden next door by clever planting – and is higher in turn than the other next door garden, so it isn’t overlooked.

At the top of the stairs, the first double bedroom is the smallest on this floor but still comfortable with double glazing, vaulted ceiling, garden views and 7’7 x 9’3 (2.3m x 9.3) to play with. Next door, the modern bathroom shows signs of a happy tenancy but with a white suite, shower above the bath and natural light it would easily respond if you wanted to ramp up the glamour.

A few steps up, the second double room has open views over lower homes behind, so it is unusually private and at 9’10 x 12’6 (3m x 3.8m) there are alcoves for wardrobes.

With the serenity only historic proportion can deliver, the front, third bedroom spans the full width of this substantial property. A room of timeless style, it has a deep, secondary glazed broad bay to almost fill the east wall and shelving to one side of a fireplace. Up at the very top of the house, the large principal stretches a relaxing 13’8 x 18’10 (4.16 x 5.73m) and sunlight streams through a west window which frames a picture perfect vista sweeping across our green city to the surrounding downland.

Agent Says:

“Houses in this sought after street of attractive Victorian terraces in a good school catchment area (St Luke’s is outstanding and Brighton College features in the UK’s top 10), with great connections to the city and a station to London do not come on the market often and sell fast.”

Owner’s secret:

“The location between the sea and the Downs within walking distance of local schools, wonderful parks and community shops is what drew us here. Our love of this area, its community and friendly neighbours has increased over the years as we discovered we could walk into the North Laine or be at the theatre within 15-20 minutes and cab back in 5, and its proximity to the hospital, Amex and station has ensured that it rented easily when we had to work away.”
