Set back from the surprisingly quiet, peaceful road closed to through traffic this terraced house, one of three, has historic architectural detail above its generous bays and with a cheerful east/west orientation, it has immediate appeal. Inside there’s a subtle commitment to keep the integrity of the building whilst accommodating contemporary style, comfort and practicality, and this design approach begins in the entrance hall with painted paneling in historic hues and painted floorboards to invite guests through.
Built in an age reliant on natural light, sunlight streams through the broad front bay of a beautifully proportioned living room where there’s 4.2m x 3.79m (13’9 x 12’5) to enjoy. Ideal for entertaining as well as for family time, there is also an open fire to relax by which has handmade cabinets and shelving to each side.
Next door, what was the formal dining room has plenty of charm of its own with a fireplace, built in cupboard and garden views, and as is often the case with these Victorian properties, it is used as a comfortable guest room.
Along the hallway and level with the front rooms (a feature hard to find in a city built on the south downs) the kitchen dining room opens to the patio which becomes an extension of the house during summer. Lined with windows it is bright and cheerful with a broad bay, where guests can dine in rare seclusion. A timeless classic with plenty of storage and solid wood surfaces, the skillfully planned kitchen area is beneath a skylight in the vaulted ceiling, the multi-fuel range could stay subject to circumstance, and plumbing is in place for both a dishwasher and a washing machine.
Outside, the walled patio is a peaceful retreat, child and pet secure behind flint and brick walls. Designed for easy maintenance so you’ll have more time to have fun in the sun, it is ideal for our famous, al fresco lifestyle. Returning inside, downstairs, a light and airy study is private with ample under stair storage and 4.96m x 3.48m (16’3 x 11’5) to spread into, so there is room to share.
Up beneath a skylight, at the top of the stairs a fabulous bathroom has a Victorian influence in the freestanding slipper bath and elliptical hand basin resting on a period table, but there is nothing old fashioned about the high-end shower attachment on the bath, the warming rails for towels – or the large walk-in shower with a fashionable dual head system!
At the back of the house, the second double bedroom has space, grace and a built in wardrobe by the handsome fireplace. Spanning the full width of the property, the third, principal bedroom is a beauty, bathing in the Sussex sunshine streaming through the broad, west bay, and with 4.86m x 4.17m (15’ 11 x 13’8) in which to unwind, it is a dream come true.<br /><br />A 18-20 min walk or 5 mins by cab from the station with buses covering the whole of Brighton and Hove from Western Road, this fabulous location is just moments from an al fresco lifestyle and the famous shops, clubs, bars and restaurants of our legendary coastal resort. Both the 7 Dials and the picturesque cultural heart of the city surrounding the Royal Pavilion are easy to reach, and it is also conveniently located for parks that provide open spaces, sports facilities and host legendary events during our festivals. Local schools are good and major employers of the city like Amex and the County Hospital are all within a 12 min radius. For those who love the outdoors, the beach, water sports of Hove Lagoon and cosmopolitan Marina are easy to reach - and don't forget our swift access to the National Park! For those who commute by car there is quick access to the 7 Dials and its 7 routes into or out of the city, including to the A23 and A27.
