3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

With Brighton College at the end of the terrace, both Queen’s Park and outstanding St Luke’s Primary a 5 min walk and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London about 7 mins drive, this beautiful 3 bed Victorian house with a spacious, sociable garden, a private home office and plentiful, local permit parking blends fabulous period proportions with stylish contemporary design. Perfect for professionals or families of any age with a small Budgens almost opposite and a bistro bar out of hearing, this exclusive area is close to beaches with café bars, yoga centre and a Lido as well as to the legal quarter of the city, whilst the County Hospital is a 10 min stroll and Brighton General and Nuffield Hospitals are all within an 4-8 min drive.

On a tree-lined street where the parking has no waiting list, inside 129.2m2 (1390.68 sq. ft.) of stylish rooms on 4 storeys are light and inviting with an elegant double depth reception where the classic fireplace has power for an electric log burner, whilst downstairs the fabulous kitchen dining room opens to the garden and has the quiet home office tucked away. Upstairs, two family bedrooms are comfortable doubles, the room at the back with open views, whilst private at the top, the principal bedroom is a beauty with organised storage and a chic en-suite. Nearby bus routes take you to the whole of the city including Brighton and Hove Stations, and the picturesque cultural heart of the city is a 25 min stroll – or 4 by car as permit zone C runs to the bottom of Eastern Road, opposite the Royal Pavilion.

Why you’ll like it:
Quiet, convenient and with plentiful permit parking which has no waiting list, this is one of the most sought after conservation areas in our city close to the College and to Queen’s Park which has a pond, tennis courts, playground and café, and it’s also within easy walking distance of the sea and the Royal Pavilion… Although there are local bus routes if you don’t want to walk.
With great charm, this terraced house is set back from the road behind a front garden and inside, the hushed hallway has gracious proportions and an easy flow through to the impressive, double reception room.

Classically beautiful, this room stretches an inviting 8.02m (26’3) from front to back and has a restfully high ceiling and a fireplace to enjoy. Ideal for together time as well as for entertaining, a broad bay almost fills the front wall to bring in the sunshine and leafy views, whilst the far window frames the garden. Along the hallway, so actually central to the house, a contemporary shower room has high end fittings.
Downstairs, the lower floor is bright and cheerful with its own entrance from the street, generally used by the family as there’s a big cupboard for coats and bags, and it’s also useful for supermarket deliveries – although the Budgens almost opposite makes life easy if you suddenly run out of milk! All about embracing friends, family and al fresco summers, the kitchen dining room has French doors to the garden and oak underfoot for a fuss free in/out flow. There’s ample space for a big table by custom built storage whilst at the other end of the room, streamlined units gleam beneath a choice of ambient lighting, deliver plenty of storage and are topped by marbled quartz surfaces which look great but are also practical. Good to go, high end appliances include a gas hob beneath an extractor, an oven at eye level which also prevents heavy lifting, and plumbing is in place for two machines.

Outside, the garden is a private paradise, child and pet secure behind flint and brick walls and this tranquil retreat backs onto the gardens of the characterful cottages of Baker’s Bottom (which lead to local woodland walks). Facing east and open to the south it is level with the house – something surprisingly difficult to find in a city built on hills. By the dining room, a sun deck has raised beds for herbs and veggies, and leads to a spacious paved area for dining, designed for ease of maintenance so you can relax and have fun in the sun, and a curved seating area at the far end faces west, by a spot for a greenhouse – and the vendors are willing to discuss the one in situ.
Up on the first floor, a quiet double bedroom has fitted wardrobe, calm decoration and open views over a sea of gardens. Next door, extending a majestic 4.39m x 4.27m (14’4 x 14’0) across the whole of the front of the building, you are spoilt for choice of a principal as this big second bedroom is painted in the historic hues of Farrow & Ball with a handsome fireplace, a broad bay to bathe the room with light and a whole wall for wardrobes to fill.

Private and peaceful, the principal bedroom spans the top storey from east to west with 4.67 x 4.29m (15’3 x14’0) in which to relax. It has custom built, organised storage as well as access to the eaves, a skylight to frame the night sky and an en-suite shower room with a designer finish.
