Far quieter than its fashionable location may suggest, this well-kept terrace of historic properties has a real sense of community as once discovered, people tend to stay. Outside this property has plenty of charm, stepped up and back from the road with clean lines and sleek double glazing in place, and arched above driveway to a lower property behind, where the bike store is located, with the living space beginning on the 1st floor, it is unusually private. Inside, the entrance hall is light and inviting with a characterful porthole window above the front door and painted floorboards underfoot for a fuss free flow. There’s space for coats and bags, and steps rise to the sophisticated living dining room. With a west wall of glass to frame the beautiful properties opposite and a discreet cupboard to keep the space clutter free, it is a restful retreat at the end of the day with 3.55 x 4.38m (11’8 x 14’4) to relax into or to share with friends and family. Across the hallway, the streamlined kitchen breakfast room has amazing views over the valley below and up the hills of Hanover. There’s space for a table and chairs and streamlined units conceal sophisticated storage. Good to go with a practical layout and plenty of working surfaces, integrated appliances include an integrated gas hob and electric oven beneath a discreet hood, fridge and freezer and the vendor is willing to discuss the utility machines in situ. Upstairs, you’re spoilt for choice for a principal room (or a home office) as both rooms are comfortable doubles. At the back the quiet bedroom is used for guests, and with designer paper and stunning outlook you won’t need to change a thing. At the front, the second of the double bedrooms is also ready for your move with calm decoration and a wall for wardrobes to fill. Next door, the luxury shower room has high end fittings including a dual head walk in shower and a handbasin broad enough to share. On the landing, a sculptural spiral staircase leads up to the crowning glory of this fabulous house – a spacious attic room with storage and glazed roofline. Electronically controlled with sensors which close it automatically when it’s raining, one of the broad, floor to ceiling Velux slides across to the roof terrace. Outside is lit with 3.12 x 3.25m (10’3 x 10’6) for entertaining and has a glass balustrade so you can enjoy a beautiful cityscape which sweeps to the sea even whilst seated. Inside has floorspace of 3.04 x 3.69m (10’0 x 12’11), discreet storage and although there is limited height in places the current vendor uses it as an occasional guest room as the Velux brings the outside in, and they can dream beneath the night sky. In a sought after location with friendly local amenities including good schools and within walking distance of great shopping, restaurants, and bars, this great buy offers easy access to the Brighton lifestyle – and to train stations if you commute. Convenient for the art colleges and universities it is well served for parks and gardens which provide cool green spaces, cafés and playgrounds, and also host events in our famous city festivals. Close to the commercial districts and the international cultural heart of the city, the whole of Brighton and Hove is easy to reach on foot, by bus, rental bike or by car. Nearby but out of hearing, Lewes Road takes you to the sea or to the A23/ A27 whilst Ditchling Road sweeps up from The Level to Fiveways Village and The South Downs National Park.
