3 bedroom semi-detached house

* Guide Price £350,000 - £375,000 *

A ten minute walk to the County Hospital, this bright modern house is a great step up the ladder or investment on the end of a terrace with a huge back garden backing onto woodland so it is private and quiet, although bus routes to the city and station are on the doorstep. Rising over the city, it has space and style, and with diamond pane double glazing and good storage you won’t need to change a thing – although you designers out there will spot the chances to add value. Kemptown’s vibrant amenities and beaches are a stroll, a good primary is around the corner and more convenient than the leafy setting suggests, the international cultural heart of the city and glamorous waterfront restaurants of the Marina are also easy to reach on foot, by bus or by cab.

Rising above the city with amazing open views at the front and back this house is in a small residential terrace in leafy environs with permit parking, and bus stops serving the whole of the city are close by. On the ground floor, a porch introduces you to the practical nature of this user friendly home and inside fuss free design has made the most of the open vista and generous space.

The central hallway sets the sociable tone of this modern charmer with a sunny east west orientation and well organised accommodation. To your right, a sun filled living room stretches the full depth of the house with windows at each end and an emphasis on comfort – sometimes overlooked in these architect designed homes- complete with a stylish classical fireplace with discreet power for electric fitting. There is plenty of scope for creating defined areas to enjoy together or with friends, and it opens to a fabulous, vaulted conservatory which invites company and opens to the sun terrace by the house.

Not to be outshone, the bright and cheerful kitchen diner stretches a full 20’8’’ x 9’11’’ of its own and an experienced eye has created a streamlined area which is easy to work in with plentiful units and practical surfaces. User friendly, the gas hob and electric oven are integrated beneath a hood, plumbing is in place for a washing machine and two big cupboards keep the space uncluttered. With a door to the large garden, our coastal city’s love of a summertime al fresco lifestyle is made easy, with two paved tiers for dining and to catch the sun. Extending as far as the eye can see, this fantastic garden backs onto local woodland so it is uniquely private and quiet too, with a long lawn which although a blank canvas is child and pet friendly, and rewards you with sunsets from the far end when children or guests have retired.

Upstairs, the sensible bathroom has all you need including a shower above the bath and three light and airy bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and restful outlook are private, peaceful and perfectly ready for your move.

Agent says:

“Perfect for health professionals as it is only a quick walk to the hospital but tucked away up the hill from the noise, this is an exceptionally convenient location for other professionals and small families too with good schools, Amex, parks and the city within easy reach.”

Owner’s Secret:

“The open views are brilliant at the end of a difficult day and after a long shift, local shops make life easy as they open at good times- and the neighbours are friendly and will take in parcels, too! For time out, the sports facilities of Queen’s Park and the cafes and bistro pubs of the Village are on the doorstep, and we do feel on holiday when we meet after work for a beer on the pier which is all lit up!”
