Why you’ll like it:

Tucked away on a friendly street with access to Dorothy Stringer Secondary School a few streets up and Balfour Primary a stroll, this bay fronted house with a pretty chequered path has instant appeal. In a quiet and convenient location with plentiful permit parking this is one of the most sought-after areas of the city with local bus routes into or out of Brighton, and Preston Park Station with direct access to Gatwick and London is 10-15 minutes on foot – or 4 by cab.

Inside subtly blends this home’s historic roots with contemporary style with unspoilt period proportions, crisp decor and fashionable carpet, and the high ceiling continues through into the elegant reception. Ideal for entertaining, the gracious proportions of this room provide an inviting space to return to where sunlight streams through the large, south bay and floating shelves on one side of a handsome, working fireplace combine to create a restful retreat for all seasons. Next door, a second, private room has a flawless finish and garden views. Often used as bedrooms in these beautiful Victorian homes, either, or both would be ideal for guests, sharers or teenagers as the occupants can come and go without disturbing the main bedrooms - and the bonus is that it is close to a chic cloakroom with underfloor heating.

At the top of the stairs to the family room below, a door is a thoughtful touch to minimise any noise travelling up and downstairs, the bright and cheerful family/ dining room/kitchen welcomes company, spanning from front to back with lots of discreet storage and ample space for entertaining. French doors open to a leafy oasis for an easy, al fresco lifestyle. Stylish and well-planned, the kitchen working area is tucked away from the in/out flow behind a sociable central island which seats four with ease. Streamlined units are topped by gleaming wood surfaces, and good to go high end appliances include an AEG touch induction hob and recently replaced oven beneath a hood, a microwave, a dishwasher and a washing machine.

Outside, the sun deck wraps around to the west side of the house to catch the last of the days rays and deliver a special spot in which to eat outside whilst ahead, broad steps take you down to a feel-good garden which is child and pet secure, sheltered by fencing with a level lawn for play where a timber cabin has power and is currently used as a secluded home office.

Returning inside, up past a large airing/boiler cupboard, both a contemporary shower room and luxury bathroom are side by side to serve your every need. At the front of the house, the third big bedroom is a peaceful retreat where a broad bay brings in the Sussex sunshine and has colonial shutters which could stay, the decoration is soothing and an original fireplace adds a little Victorian romance. Up at the top, the peaceful principal suite is all about relaxing in a stunning setting with sophisticated built in storage, a fabulous shower room and a wall of glass to frame inspiring views which sweep across the city.
