3 bedroom terraced house

One of Central Brighton's prime and sought-after addresses, St Nicholas Road is a quiet, one-way street of elegant, Victorian terraced houses – a well-kept secret in the heart of the West Hill conservation area – ideally located adjacent to the ancient, 11th century mother church of Brighton, St Nicholas of Myra and ideally situated for both City-centre and mainline railway station access. The combination of the unique charm of this pretty road and its central, yet quiet, location means that homes do not often come to market as, once discovered, people tend to stay for many years. This extremely well-maintained example of a Victorian terraced house not only has strong kerbside appeal, but a beautifully appointed interior also which is sure to appeal to those seeking the perfect main/family residence, or an amazing second home by the sea.

Opposite the house is the excellent and oversubscribed St Paul's Nursery & Primary School making this location not only perfect for commuters, but for families too. St Nicholas Road is a very special place to live – almost like a village within the City -and has a strong community spirit. For example, just before Christmas each year, everyone who wishes to can take part in the now famous living Advent calendar by displaying an original design, on their chosen date, in their front windows for passers-by to admire. There is also a vibrant WhatsApp group with all kinds of useful information exchanged between residents of St Nicholas Road.

This spectacular period residence is situated in one of Brighton's best kept secret locations. Here you will find everything you could possibly need right on your doorstep. The town centre, with Boots and M&S, is a brief walk away, as are the tranquil St Nicholas churchyard and the Peace Garden opposite. Local shops, boutiques, delis, restaurants and bars may be found in the ever-popular Seven Dials area – a few minutes' walk away, whilst the fashionable North Laine area, Brighton mainline railway station, with its quick and easy access to London & Gatwick airport and the seafront promenade are likewise all within short walking distance of the house. You name it, you've got it close to hand. Who needs a car?

With high ceilings and bright, spacious rooms arranged over three floors, the house is homely, full of character and presented for sale in excellent condition. Starting on the ground floor, there is a built-in wardrobe/storage space in the entrance hall, an impressive bay-fronted through-lounge & dining room with two fireplaces and secondary double-glazing – making the ideal space for entertaining friends & family, for relaxing and watching TV, for dinner parties, or sit-down family meals together. Also on the ground floor is a separate, crisp white gloss, modern fitted kitchen with high specification, all integrated appliances and underfloor heating. An external door off the kitchen leads out on to a dual-level, private rear patio from which a beautiful, wrought iron spiral staircase curls its way up to the stunning west-facing private sun terrace, providing an amazing resource at your disposal. Whether you're green-fingered, or just a sun-worshipper, there is plenty of room up here for plants and sunbeds and patio furniture and you'll be hard pushed to find a more perfect setting for coffee, cocktails and even al fresco meals in the Spring / Summer months!

On the first floor of the house are two of three fantastic-sized double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a further en suite bathroom serving the bay-fronted bedroom at the front. All windows have secondary double-glazing. From here you continue on upstairs and on the half-landing you'll find a large window giving alternative access on to the roof terrace - and then up to the third floor where you'll find a spacious third bedroom, with built-in wardrobe, eaves storage and sublime views right across the city to the sea at the front and over the park to the rear. All things considered, this really is one of those "wow" properties that makes an idyllic primary home or brilliant second / seaside holiday home in a tranquil hiding place off Brighton City centre - the perfect mix of family and cosmopolitan living!
