Why you’ll like it:
Far quieter than its fashionable location may suggest, this sweeping road has a real sense of community as once discovered, people tend to stay. This house has a public electric car charger just outside and is opposite a leafy embankment which for 3 seasons of the year shields an urban – but open - view, so the property isn’t overlooked from the front or the back. Behind a paved front garden large enough for a bike store where palms sway in the sunshine, this home radiates historic charm with the bonus of energy efficient double glazing already in its appealing bay windows.

Through the front door, a hushed hallway has stripped floorboards underfoot to give visitors free reign which continue into the elegant living dining room. Light and inviting with a broad bay at the front and a window to frame views up to the garden at the back, this room is all about enjoying friends and family with ample space for sofas and a dining table, and guests can relax in rare seclusion and enjoy the graceful proportions, original fireplace and ambient lighting.

Along the hall past organised under stair storage (with potential for adding a downstairs WC), the kitchen breakfast room is bright and cheerful, lined with windows with space for a family table and a door to a patio which has room for a bench. Inside is well planned with a practical layout, streamlined storage and user friendly working surfaces. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, electric oven and a hood. Plumbing is in place for a dishwasher and washing machine and there’s designated space for a tall fridge freezer.

Outside, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create different ‘rooms’ to explore. The southeast facing seating area, level with the kitchen, has power and a water source and stone steps rise to a spacious, paved sun trap which in high summer gets the sun for most of the day. Surrounded by raised beds it leads to a deck for lunch, and at the far end, a secret garden is perfect for quiet catch ups when visitors or children have retired for the night.

Returning inside, at the top of the stairs the first of the double bedrooms is ideal for visitors or a teen as it is private within the home and up a few steps, the landing has access to the large loft which some neighbours have extended into, stnc.

On the first floor, the second double bedroom has space, grace and garden views and at the front of the house, the bathroom is good to go with white suite, natural light, a shower above the bath and warming rails for towels. Next door, the principal bedroom is a private retreat with fresh decoration. A broad bay bathes the room with light there’s an alcove for wardrobes whilst custom made shelving and a cabinet are ready to fill.

Agent’s Thoughts:
“Popular with professionals, couples and families, The Level’s playground, events during festivals, fashionable open air market and North Laine are an easy walk. The sports and fun activities of Preston Park are just a few mins by car – much of the parking in the same zone- and local buses take you straight into or out of the city.”

Owner’s Secret:
“Between the sea and the countryside, we have the best of all worlds. We needed to commute - London Road Station’s a 9 min walk; Brighton Station is 7 mins by cab and the A27/A23 are just minutes away -so those boxes were ticked! The street is quiet and we have enjoyed both the privacy and the plentiful permit parking. We wanted an easy flow with versatile rooms to spread into whilst keeping the light, inviting nature of the house and we didn’t realise how sunny the garden is in summer! Ideal for professionals, a family or as a rental we’re surrounded by parks with sports facilities and playgrounds – 3 in the same parking zone- and it’s great to stroll to London Road for fresh produce or restaurants in the North Laine and often meet friends at the cafés at Fiveways for breakfast on Sundays. There really is a friendly community here and with local buses, you won’t always be dependent on a car.”
