3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A sunlit sanctuary, this immaculate three-bedroom house radiates style from the smart off street parking at the front to the leafy, landscaped oasis at the back- complete with a paved dining terrace and south facing seating area. On a peaceful no through road five minutes from the sea and waterfront restaurants of our glamorous Marina with East Brighton Park’s sports facilities and green open spaces around the corner. Inside, the ground floor has a sophisticated finish with an elegant living room which has an open fire and a fabulous kitchen/diner which opens to the garden.

Upstairs the spa like bathroom is high end and all of the bedrooms are quiet and spacious with fitted wardrobes. Attracting young professionals and families, houses in this secret enclave of attractive terraces sell fast with a golf course, thriving high street and a choice of popular schools including Brighton College nearby. If you don’t want a scenic stroll along the seafront to the Lanes (about 20-25 minutes), local bus routes take you into or out of the city and now is the time to buy as work is underway to improve the neighbouring Black Rock, and discussions are taking place relating to a nearby plot which is out of hearing!

Stylishly reimagined, this bright and cheerful 1930’s semi-detached home with gorgeous gables, traditional hung Sussex tiles and double glazing has sunlight pouring in from three sides and it is in a peaceful cul de sac within a tranquil enclave of well-kept period terraces where houses do not come on the market often as once discovered, people tend to stay. Inside is instantly inviting with the generous hallway and broad staircase lined with windows, and the sleek oak underfoot and spotlights above your head an introduction to the luxury finish throughout this home – so you can move in, chill the champagne, and won’t need to change a thing.

With a broad west bay to bring in plenty of Sussex sunshine and ample floorspace to enjoy for work, rest or play, high grade oak flooring, white walls and low-level cabinets keep the feel contemporary, and the classically beautiful fireplace is open.

With the wow factor as soon as you walk in and ambient lighting to welcome company, the stylish kitchen/diner has a designer finish. Shaker units and gleaming granite surfaces will not date, the fabulous Belling multi fuel range could stay, the dishwasher, fridge and freezer are integrated, and a wine rack is incorporated into the central island. L shaped, the kitchen is safely tucked away from the in/out flow through the French doors, and guests can dine in comfort and admire the garden at any time of year.

A glorious sun trap which is open to the south and surrounded by gardens on three sides, the garden (with side-access) is a secluded idyll which is child and pet secure. Landscaped for a holiday al fresco lifestyle, a paved dining terrace is level with the house and a private seating area by a shed allows you to watch children or pets playing on the lawn and is designed to catch the sun.

Returning inside, a chic shower room is hidden away, and a spacious utility room is bright, cheerful and practical.

Upstairs the landing is light and airy. Two quiet bedrooms at the back, with fitted wardrobes, enjoy garden views, and both are tastefully decorated. At the front, a luxury bathroom has a waterfall shower over the double ended bath, there is sleek storage below the hand basin and a shaving point above it, and there is also a warming rail for towels.

At the front of the house with a bank of windows stretching almost from one end of the west wall to the other, the principal bedroom is a relaxing retreat to return to with calm décor, plenty of floorspace even with a double bed in situ and views which sweep over the racecourse and the city to a glimmer of sea.

Agent says:
“Quiet but convenient, this area has good transport links in or out of the city and there is a friendly community here as these homes don’t come onto the market very often – and sell fast, especially at the moment with the historic period properties on Black Rock beach being restored and advanced planning talks in relation to another nearby plot.”
