Why you’ll like it:
Quiet but convenient with plentiful free street parking and bus routes giving older children independence, this is a great area just a few minutes from the city centre but surrounded by green spaces – access to Hollingbury Woods is at the end of this street! Set up and back from the road this house has plenty of charm and generous box bays already have energy efficient windows in place.

Inside an artistic eye has created an inviting, family friendly home with stylish yet practical design which begins in the hall with a pop of colour, where two large under stair cupboards deliver ample storage and smart oak flooring continues into the living room. Quiet and comfortable, this room has 4.51m x 3.48m (14’9 x 11’5) in which to work, rest or play, and there’s an easy flow to the spacious kitchen dining room next door. L shaped it is beautifully planned with space for a family table by the French doors to the garden, whilst the working area of the kitchen, with family friendly units and surfaces, is safely tucked away from the in/out movement. The steel range could stay subject to circumstance, there is plumbing for a washing machine and the designated space for a fridge convenient for the dining table when entertaining.

Outside, steps rise to a broad, paved tier open to the south and surrounded by exotic planting for a holiday feel when bathing in the Sussex sunshine, whilst a second tier has a pet friendly, astro-turf lawn and raised fruit and vegetable beds to provide fresh produce when eating al fresco. At the far end, a gated sun deck was created about 4 years ago for secure dining with a child which enjoys open views and gets the sun for most of the day in high summer.

Returning inside, at the top of recently carpeted stairs, the bright and cheerful landing has access to the attic. Ahead, the smallest of the bedrooms is still a good size – 2.78m x 2.34m (9’2 x 7’8). Sweetly decorated for a child with garden views, it could also be an inspiring home office with space to share. Also at the back and looking over gardens, the first of the generous double bedrooms is used as a family room. At the front, the principal bedroom is a tranquil refuge with 4.66m x 3.64m (15’3 x 11’11) in which to unwind, with a big west bay for cat naps in the sun and a feature wall with designer paper. Higher than the homes opposite it feels very private and next door, the contemporary bathroom has a rainfall head shower above the tub and a discreet luxury feature is a warming rail for towels.

Agent Says:
“Ideal for professionals and/or a growing family close to schools, parks, the city and the station, houses in these tranquil terraces close to Hollingbury Woods, Fiveways, good schools and a choice of parks sell fast. Light and spacious, this stylish home also comes with a large, sociable garden which gets the sun for most of the day.”

Owner’s secret:
“We have loved our happy home and we hope you enjoy it too! We wanted fuss free but stylish rooms, and we adore the way the house opens to the garden in summer with plenty of sunny space outside, but then becomes warm and cosy in winter. The street is quiet and friendly, and the area is a great place to live with a real community and local shops to pop into, whilst the al fresco cafés and independent shops and cafés of Fiveways as well as a bakers and butchers are also really easy to get to, as is the city centre and the sea.”
