Why you’ll like it:

Enjoy the easy flow of this comfortable, double glazed home which is tucked privately away in one of the most sought after areas of our vibrant coastal city. On the market for the first time since 1999 inside big, bright rooms inspire ideas (great or small!) as the whole house is tastefully decorated so time is on your side whilst you decide on your own style. At the end of a terrace of three modern homes on a leafy street it is a welcoming refuge to return to with a pretty front garden and lit path to the entrance. Inside, the inner lobby has a cupboard at the end and it opens to a central hallway.

Light streams through the ground floor where two spacious rooms do not share a wall. At the front, the elegant lounge has a sunny dual aspect and plenty of space for work, rest or play whilst secluded at the back, a lovely room provides flexible options. Currently a guest bedroom it has built in storage and there is a chic shower room close by.

Upstairs, an inviting reception of understated elegance has magnificent views over the broad avenue and obliquely to the park. A room to entertain in, it opens to a sunny balcony ideal for friends to spill out to in summer, whilst in winter it transforms into a warm and welcoming haven where visitors can relax in front of a flame effect fire in cosy seclusion. Across the landing, the L shaped kitchen diner is surprisingly big with ample space for a table for informal suppers or where homework can be discussed over tea. Bright and cheerful as the far wall is lined with windows, the stylish kitchen area is a timeless classic which delivers family friendly units and practical working surfaces. Good to go the electric hob, combi grill and oven were installed two years ago and integrated appliances include a microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and a washing machine.

Private at the top, family will love the bedroom at the back which is ready for their arrival with fitted wardrobes in place and as the smart, contemporary development behind only has lower buildings beneath the window, they won’t feel hemmed in despite the convenient central location! Spanning the full width of the front of the house, the principal bedroom sweeps open to a balcony where you can share the change of seasons over morning coffee. A discreetly glamorous sanctuary with refined decoration, there are twin double wardrobes and the en suite bathroom is pretty in chic vintage peach - and there is nothing old fashioned about the shower attachment on the bath or the shaving/toothbrush charger point either.

Agent says:

“Enjoy re-inventing the luxury lifestyle this flowing home has to offer and bear in mind that modern homes with south facing balconies are a rare find in this sought after neighbourhood right by the park and not far from the sea.”

Owner’s secret:

We have loved the leafy setting by the park with its walks, playground and café where in the summer we can picnic with friends and enjoy events during the arts festivals. Quiet but convenient with local bakeries, shops, bars, doctors and school within an easy walk, we are only minutes from the city’s fashionable shopping and night life, and both Brighton and Hove Stations are easy to reach. There is plentiful permit parking, (although we don’t need a car), our neighbours are friendly as well as considerate, and there is no place nicer to be than on one of the balconies together in the sunshine, planning our weekends.”
