Surrounded by greenery in one of Brighton’s prettiest suburbs, this semi-detached, three-bedroom house is incredibly tranquil, yet it remains well-connected with excellent transport links both in and out of the city. It resides in Westdene Valley; nestled in to the hillside, so it enjoys far-reaching views across the rooftops and trees of the city to the east. Having been recently renovated, the finish throughout is immaculate and its generous rooms are filled with natural light from east to west.

This is the ideal home for families with younger children due to the close proximity to Westdene Primary School which will increase its appeal further. Parking is free on the street or there is a detached garage and a substantial driveway, plus the garden has been landscaped and decked for dining alfresco. The South Downs National Park is also on your doorstep, so you get the best of all worlds here, meaning this attractive home will be coveted by many.

Why you’ll like it:

Westdene’s popularity has increased exponentially in recent years with families moving here from the city centre to find more spacious homes, surrounded by greenery and fresh air. This house sits perched on the hill but set back from the road behind a neat front garden and a brick drive. Even on the approach, it is clear this is a beautifully maintained house, yet this is clarified further as you step inside.

It feels more spacious than imagined and it is gloriously light due to wide picture windows on each side of the living room which spans the depth of the house. The neutral decoration is modern and fresh to suit all styles of furnishing and there are clearly defined areas for relaxed furnishings and formal dining alongside the kitchen.

Partially open to the room, the kitchen remains a sociable space giving the entire ground floor a sense of flow. Fitted with a range of streamlined gloss cabinets, there is plenty of storage, while the oven and gas hob are integrated, leaving space for an American fridge freezer, a dishwasher and a washing machine – all of which may be included in the sale. Ideally for families, there is also a ground floor WC – an essential in any shared space.

From the dining area, the views are far-reaching, looking out over the leafy local landscape. These can be enjoyed from the decked terrace which becomes an extension of the home during summer for drinks and dinner alfresco. Steps lead down to a second patio area and then to an area of enclosed lawn with space for children to play in safety. Here, there is access to the detached garage which is ripe for conversion into a work space or annex if need be.

On the first floor, there are three carpeted bedrooms; two generous doubles and a smaller double with space for a 4ft bed and furnishings. All three are double glazed for added warmth and comfort, so you can always ensure a restful night’s sleep. They share use of a classically tiled bathroom with a shower over the full bath suite.

Agent’s thoughts:
Impressive and deceptively spacious, this house offers a perfect blank canvas for the new occupants. It is perfectly located for families too, so we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.

“This is a really comfortable house to live in, and it would also be idea as a rental investment as it is a popular area for families and professionals alike due to the excellent schools, local shops and transport links.”
