Internal viewings available on request.
Perfectly positioned for families, this beautiful four-bedroom Edwardian terraced house sits in catchment for the best primary and secondary schools in the city. Fashionable Fiveways is also on its doorstep, as are several parks, so it already ticks many boxes. As a period property, it has generous proportions, high ceilings and a wealth of original detail which has been carefully retained. These period features have been blended with a modern palette and stylish fixtures and fittings to create a warm and comfortable home. All bedrooms are double to include the sizable principal bedroom suite in the extended loft space which enjoys exceptional views across the city to the east. The garden is also a sun trap with an open aspect to fill the house with natural light from which filters right through the house. Parking is easy with residents permits, for which there is no waiting list, and the transport links are excellent with several buses stopping nearby and both London Road Station and Preston Park Station within walking distance for the university and London commutes.

Location: Fiveways
Floor Area: 1490 sq.ft.

Why you’ll like it
Period properties on tree lined avenues characterise the Fiveways area. Yet it is the sense of community brought about by the excellent school catchment and easy access to both the city centre and the countryside which has led to its increased popularity over the years. New artisan cafes, boutique shops, bakeries and delis pop up all the time, so it feels truly cosmopolitan, taking the crown from Hove’s equivalent at Seven Dials.
This substantial four-bedroom, family home sits mid terrace on Hollingbury Park Avenue which runs parallel to, but neatly tucked away from, the hubbub of Ditchling Road. It is attractive on the approach with quintessential Edwardian features to include box bay sash windows, a beamed gable and a traditionally tiled path paves the way to the original front door.
Once inside, you are greeted into a vestibule with space to hang the family’s coats and organise shoes. Chequerboard flooring is both practical and stylish along the hall, making way for the original floorboards in the first reception room to the left.
Deceptively spacious with a high ceiling and classic period features, the living room has space for the whole family to come together on comfortable furnishings in the evening around the open fire. The chimney breast has been picked out in a vibrant bottle-green which echoes the colours of the original tiles, flanking the cast iron insert and hearth. It is also homely and private from the street due to clever planting in the front garden.
Next door, the second reception room mirrors the first in size and shape. It also has wood flooring and built-in storage, alongside French doors opening to the garden. Many people choose to open these rooms to create one large sociable space, although they are more versatile when separate should you require a peaceful home office or a fifth bedroom perhaps.
Along the hall, the kitchen and dining room are open plan offering a second space for both family time and entertaining. Travertine brick splashbacks are paired with cream Shaker cabinetry while fuchsia walls add a pop of modern colour to the dining area. Space has been left for a range cooker, a tall fridge freezer, a dishwasher and a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer which may be available by separate negotiation. Dual aspect, this is a sunny room with French doors linking it seamlessly with the garden, ideal for summer parties or outdoor dining.
Built into a hill, the garden is slightly terraced with a raised patio area close to the house with steps leading down to the lawn. This is bordered by a variety of well-established flowerbeds, shrubs and trees which ensure the space is not overlooked while providing some welcomed dappled shade in high season. There is space for children’s play equipment or a garden office or cabin if needed.
On the first floor there are three good size double bedrooms and the family bathroom which has a shower over the bath. To the rear, the views start to come into their own taking your line of sight over the rooftops and trees of the local landscape towards Brighton Racecourse below open skies. The rear bedroom has a bay which creates additional space for a desk or dressing table, and all three have built-in wardrobes which maximise their floor space. Spanning the front of the house, the front bedroom is particularly spacious with wooden floors and it has a period fireplace and box bay window to mirror those in the living room below.
Up on the second floor, the principal bedroom suite feels equally spacious due to a full width dormer and a wall of glazing opening to a Juliet balcony while framing views over the city to the east towards the South Downs. This allows a cool breeze to flow through during the summer or stargazing as you drift off to sleep. Designer wallpapers add style and colour in here and the
en suite which also has a shower over the bath.
Agent’s thoughts:
Brimming with character, space and style, this house is ready to move straight into. It is a house which immediately feels warm and welcoming – and you cannot beat the location for families.”
What the Owners Say:
“We honestly cannot think of a better place to raise children and this house is ideal for all ages as the rooms are so versatile. The street has a lovely mix of families and professionals, and we often organise events, such as street parties, throughout the year. You also have the convenience of Fiveways and the schools nearby, yet Hollingbury Park Avenue feels nicely tucked away. It will be a wrench to leave but away we no longer need so much space!”
