Why you’ll like it:
Making the most of its elevated position with sweeping views at the front and uninterrupted light, this modern house with double glazing has friendly local amenities including a Superstore 3 minutes away whilst the al fresco lifestyle of fashionable Fiveways is a 5 minute drive. In an easy going, unpretentious area with a healthy mix of private and authority run homes and popular with locals wanting peaceful nights, parking and a big garden, if you are a health professional, the County Hospital, Brighton General and Nuffield Hospitals are all about 15 minutes away.

Set back from the quiet no through road, inside a stylish entrance lobby is full of light and has guest friendly rush matting which becomes good quality oak flooring in the inviting hallway. Ahead, sunlight streams through the south facing living dining room where two large windows almost fill the far wall and frame the feel-good garden. With a sleek contemporary finish, there is ample space to share with friends and family, who can relax in rare seclusion as this room is not overlooked.

Next door, the stylish kitchen is well planned with plenty of built in cupboards as well as on-trend units for storage, with fashionable copper detail, solid wood surfaces and a practical layout. Good to go, integrated appliances include a gas hob and electric oven beneath a hood and a dishwasher, and there is designated space for a tall fridge freezer. With easy access to the door to the garden for al fresco entertaining, the meticulous attention to detail continues in the separate utility area - and the good news is that the vendors are willing to discuss the white goods in situ.

Child and pet secure, the garden is a rare, south facing sun trap larger than many this close to the city, the South Downs National Park, and the sea. Perfect for parties but also for every day, by the house, and level with it (a feature hard to find in a city built on the South Downs), a paved dining terrace is fuss free with a water source. Broad, shallow steps are gated and rise to a long lawn, safely fenced and surrounded by beds. Trees at the back ensure privacy, there is a romantic central arbour and surrounded by gardens it is surprisingly tranquil. At the far end, there is space for a summerhouse/home office or a shed, stnc.

Upstairs, a cheerful landing has access to the attic – giving food for thought, and at the top of the stairs the airy bathroom has a shower above the bath, a sleek vanity beneath the hand basin, natural light and a designer finish!

At the back of the house, the first of the spacious double bedrooms is deliciously private with restful, garden views. Currently used as a home office there is ingenious, custom made storage which includes a pull out double bed for guests, which the vendors are willing to discuss, subject to circumstance. Next door, the principal bedroom is also very private and blissfully quiet, spanning the house from front to back with picture perfect, open views, and plenty of space for you to create all the wardrobe space you could dream of.

Agent says:
“If you are looking for lots of space, a big, beautiful garden and easy parking in a connected location but also want peaceful nights, this stylish house delivers on all fronts.”

Owner’s secret:
“The parking is a real bonus here, so we don’t need to worry if we take the car to the beach or go away on holiday. All the rooms are really light and airy as you are above the valley and the layout is easy to live in as well as ideal for entertaining. The garden is big and sunny all day, and we have loved sitting out in the peace and quiet after work. The street is also very private and quiet with lovely neighbours who are friendly and although we are mid terrace, we don’t hear anything through the walls which are pretty thick! There’s a park within a 5 minute walk and Hollingbury Nature Reserve is also nearby, both full of locals walking their dogs, jogging or having family time, so you’ll soon meet people if you’re new to the city – and lots of people are sociable in the fashionable cafes and bakeries of Fiveways. Although it is very leafy and calm here (and we have a doctors surgery and a library within walking distance), you are close to the city centre, and you don’t always need to use the car as there’s a bus stop around the corner for going into or out of the city.”
