Perfectly positioned between the coast and the countryside, the Downs Park Estate in Portslade has the best of both worlds. The air is fresh, and parking is free, yet you are just 10 minutes from Central Hove by bus or car, keeping you well-connected.

This smart and modern two-bedroom house sits at the end of a short terrace and is ready to move straight into or let out immediately with ease. It has a sunny rear garden and a clean, neutral decoration throughout, creating a blank canvas for new owners. With great schools nearby, and excellent transport links, it would be ideal for both professionals and small families looking to live amongst a close family-friendly community. For those who commute by car, there is an allocated parking space as well as free on-street parking, and you can be out onto the A27/A23 in minutes. While there is certainly a ‘village’ feel here, with a friendly local community and the South Downs nearby, you are just a short cab ride away from the city for entertainment, and the schools are great – so this property should appeal to professionals and families alike.

Why you’ll like it:
Bush Farm Drive sweeps up through the Downs Park Estate with Bush Terrace sitting at the northern end formed from a short terrace of homes accessible via a footpath. This house has a sunny, south facing aspect so its rooms are filled with natural light. It’s set back from the road behind a grassy front garden which wraps around the side of the house where a secure gate leads through to the rear garden.

Stepping in through the front door, you are greeted into an entrance vestibule ideal for hanging coats and organising shoes to keep the house clutter free. A second door then opens to the living room which feels deceptively spacious with white walls and grey carpets to suit all styles of modern furnishing. There is ample space for comfortable furnishings for cosying up in the evening to watch the wall mounted TV (Not included with the sale), and there is space below the open stairs for a dining table, conveniently close to the kitchen.

Within the kitchen, plenty of storage has been created in white cabinetry, alongside an integrated oven with a gas hob and extractor fan, leaving space for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer. The sink has been thoughtfully placed below the window, so you have garden views to wash up to.

With a classic two up-two down layout, there are two bedrooms on the first floor, both double rooms – although one is dressed as a single at present. Both share the same smart decoration as the living room below, and double-glazed windows, along with the tranquil location, ensures a warm and restful night’s sleep.

Both bedrooms have easy access to the bathroom which is on trend with large-scale brick tiles, a shower over the modern bath suite and a heated rail for towels.

Agent’s thoughts:
This property offers excellent value for families looking to live in a peaceful, family-friendly location in a smart house which is ready to go – we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.

Owner’s thoughts:
“This house has been a great place to start raising our family. The local schools are great and it’s a real treat being so close to the countryside for walks and fresh air. You can jump on a bus with ease to get to the beach or the city shops, and there is a real sense of community here. We are looking for an extra bedroom now, but we are hoping to stay in the area.”
