Enjoy a luxury lifestyle in this fabulous maisonette which forms the main part of an attractive Victorian terraced house in an area popular for those who like to sleep but also be close to shops and restaurants – and not far from the beach. Set back from the quiet, well-kept street which has plentiful permit parking, this charming house is freshly painted and first impressions get even better as this home also has its own, private front door, so it feels like a house.
Inside, the immaculate hallway sets the sophisticated tone of the interior design where meticulous attention to detail blends precious period features with heritage colours and carefully sourced floor tiles, which although in keeping with the age of the building, also add a sleek contemporary tweak.
At the front, the elegant living room is a relaxing retreat with glorious period proportions and raised up from the street, the broad bay window brings in plenty of sunshine whilst ensuring that the room is very private – and the vendors are willing to discuss the custom made colonial style shutters which provide useful shade. Stepping through to the kitchen, you get the full benefit of being on one of Brighton’s famous hills with sweeping, open views over the garden. Inviting company with space for a bistro table and chairs, the stylish kitchen is well planned with practical working surfaces and everything flowing from a central multi fuel oven beneath a hood, which could stay, subject to circumstance.
Outside, the garden becomes an extension of the home during summer (or parties) – and it is the ideal spot for friends to meet for lunch or cocktails before the 10 minute stroll down to the Level – a leafy park at the foot of the legendary North Laine. A secret oasis of calm large enough for a generous paved area for al fresco dining, it also has a child and pet friendly lawn level with it – a feature surprisingly hard to find in a city built on the South Downs!
Returning inside, the contemporary bathroom is light and airy with a shaped bath which has a shower above it, plenty of storage in a glamorous vanity unit and a warming rail for towels. Upstairs, the peaceful bedroom at the back has space and grace as well as amazing open views over lower homes below to a cityscape which glitters at night – so even though you’re in a central spot you don’t feel hemmed in. At the front, the principal bedroom is a serene sanctuary at the end of the day which stretches the full width of the building, and with calm decoration, good quality carpet and plantation shutters which could stay, you won’t want to change a thing.
Agent says:
“This is a friendly area full of young professionals and families with an unpretentious vibe, and known for its community spirit, it is a sought after area as although it is quiet you’re just a few minutes from the city-on foot or if you need a car, Elm Grove will get you either into or out of the city in minutes.”
Owner’s secret:
“Bright and spacious inside and out it is great for entertaining, and friends can really relax in the sunny garden as it is large enough for children or pets to play whilst we continue eating! Although the location suits a busy, city lifestyle this street is very quiet. People love to meet here as there is easy parking and we can walk into the city, up to the Downs with a picnic or for Sunday lunch in The Fox on the Downs- but it would be good for a family, too with a popular primary and park within walking distance, and with the universities and hospitals nearby it is also a great area for rentals.”
