House For Sale £525,000
Upper Gloucester Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1

Radiating period character with diamond drop windows, this fabulous, two-bedroom house with a private patio garden is ideal as a home or for holidays. Less than 3 minutes from the station and the fabulous North Laine, and 10-15 to our legendary clubs and beaches – on foot - inside the spacious living/dining room has a beach house feel with painted panelling whilst oak flooring ensures an easy flow out to a patio, perfect for get-togethers. Designed with entertaining in mind, the separate kitchen has a contemporary finish which continues all the way through to the fitted bathroom (both installed just last year) and two stylish double bedrooms, located to the front and rear of the property. Built in 1842 it is far bigger on the inside than its neat exterior suggests and with subtle double glazing and all new exterior doors, it is far quieter than you may think despite its fashionable setting. Ideal for professionals who work in the city or at home, commuters, investors or even a small family, Brighton Station has direct trains to Gatwick and London, local schools are good, and the area is well served for green spaces which also hold events during our fabulous festivals.

Tucked away from the tourist crowd you will still have almost instant access to our vibrant coastal city in a prime location with fresh, local produce on your doorstep and where bus routes take you to every part of Brighton & Hove as well as to the sea and to the South Downs National Park which surrounds our city. Looking very traditional outside, the front door opens to an inner lobby where the second door reveals a big, bright living/dining room with 6.05m x 3.78m of floorspace ready to work, rest or play. Tastefully decorated with high grade oak flooring underfoot, sunshine streams through the south window at the front whilst at the far end French doors open to a well-lit lobby with organised storage leading out to a sheltered oasis. Outside, the paved patio becomes an extension of the ground floor during summer – and it is the ideal spot for friends to meet before walking into the city. A secluded refuge large enough for a table and chairs for al fresco dining, or sofas to lounge under the mature olive tree, it is also level with the house – a feature surprisingly hard to find in a city built on the South Downs! Returning inside and well planned for parties, the contemporary kitchen has white high gloss units, an integrated full size fridge-freezer and a built in pantry, providing generous storage. Having been updated only last year by the current vendor, it is a timeless classic which won’t date and it is good to go with an integrated electric hob and fan oven, and plumbing in place for both a dishwasher and washer-drier. At the top of the staircase with a door to mitigate any bustle in the living space, perfect for sharers especially if they work at different hours, you’ll feel like a VIP in a luxury bathroom, also installed new last year and designed with both style and relaxation in mind.
Up a few steps the broad landing is inviting with a cupboard and access to the attic. Quiet at the back, the first of the comfortable double bedrooms looks over the garden and is currently used as a nursery but was previously a home office with a double bed and desk. Next door and spanning the full width of the building at the front, you will live the dream in a majestic principal bedroom with beautiful proportions and custom-made fitted wardrobes.
