Why you’ll like it:
On a quiet, one way street this beautiful house with classic Georgian charm is in fact a spacious modern build with double glazing throughout and high grade insulation to achieve a very good BREEAM energy rating. Inside there’s an easy flow with crisp, contemporary and a quality finish incorporating a German Leicht kitchen and Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware throughout.

Ideal for entertaining, the open living/sitting room is a welcoming with solid engineered oak flooring and a large window at one end whilst tri-folding doors open to a Juliette balcony looking over the patio at the other. With a glass balustrade guests can enjoy the view even when sitting down, and a central staircase discreetly zones areas in which to work, rest or play.
Downstairs, the whole area benefits from underfloor heating below natural stone. There’s a useful cloakroom in the lobby leading to the fully fitted, streamlined kitchen which has three levels of lighting delivered by spotlights overhead, a hood and LED’s in the plinths, and quality integrated appliances include a gas hob and electric oven beneath the hood and underfloor heating. At the back, triple fold double glazed doors in the sociable dining area bring the outside in for an easy al fresco lifestyle in the lit, paved patio with room for a table and chairs.

On the first floor, two spacious double bedrooms with a chic contemporary shower room sits between them are bright and cheerful, with crisp decoration and compact built in wardrobes to fill. Spanning the top of the house, another bedroom or study with access to a private west roof terrace with oblique sea views and further light welcomed from an electric rooflight. The bedroom/office is simple but stylish with a large closet and the bathroom is large enough for both a bath and a wet room style shower – and has designer Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware.

Agent Says:
“With the beach, Lido, yoga centre and beach bars easy to reach at the end of the lane and cafes and shops at the other, although this spot is chic and just a walk into the historic heart of the city, it is tucked away from tourists. The area is exclusive and homes in this beautiful terrace do not appear on the market often. All the everyday modern needs have been considered with Nest thermostatic controlled zones on each floor with gas central heating throughout and underfloor heating to the lower floor.”

Owner’s Secret:
"A super insulated Eco home built in 2008 to a high spec is very bright on every level in this 4 story home right by the sea. Light and inviting, both the lower and ground floor are perfect for entertaining with a stunning contemporary finish and trifolding doors to bring the outside in. Both bedrooms on the first floor are spacious and quiet and at the top, a further bedroom or office offers a luxury refuge with a terrace where you can enjoy sea views. There is something for everyone of any age here. You can spend time on the beach, enjoy the fresh local produce on offer, explore the local cafés and restaurants or walk into Brighton’s cultural heart which clusters around the Royal Pavilion – about a 10-15 min walk.
