Why you’ll like it:
Taking a stroll up Edward Street from Brighton’s famous Steine, past the Law Courts and Amex Business Centre, you come to White Street on the hill, looking out over the city to the sea. These properties form a hugely attractive townscape in red brick, bearing the architectural features of the era with decorative gables and terracotta tiling. This house sits part way up the hill, facing west to bring a warm afternoon light into the main reception rooms and principal bedroom on the first floor.

Stepping in through the front door, you are welcomed into a sweet entrance hall with two doors opening to a bright and airy, through living and dining room. Once two rooms, they have since been opened to create one large and sociable space with defined areas for relaxation, formal dining and working from home if need be. Wood flooring is paired with fresh white walls, so you can add your own flair with furnishings and art, it is essentially a blank canvas for new owners.
French doors lead directly to the garden where there is built-in decked banquette seating for summer dining and entertaining. It is perfectly low maintenance, ready for the modern lifestyle, yet allows for children to play in safety, becoming a natural extension of the home during the summer months.

Open to the room, but recessed to the rear of the building, the kitchen is beautifully appointed with a modern-country scheme, using Shaker cabinetry for the lower units, solid oak worktops and a butler sink cut-in. Wall panelling and open shelving for crockery and glassware completes the look. Within the cabinet, the appliances have been integrated, yet there remains space for freestanding pieces too.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms: two looking out over the garden with and easterly aspect and the principal room looking out over the peaceful street. All three rooms have space for double beds and freestanding furnishings, and all share the same classic décor as downstairs with sanded wood floors and white walls. They share use of the bathroom which has been modernised more recently with grey wall tile and a gleaming white bath suite with a shower over it.
