Here's another wonderful property for us at EweMove (Brighton & Hove) to get excited about! The Varndean / Surrenden area of Brighton with it's plentiful green spaces, large plots and gorgeous views has long been the first choice of many a discerning home hunter. This Friar Close gem is sure to please. Nestled in a quiet and private Cul-de-Sac, it's commanding position delivers fabulous views across the city and down to the sea. Built to an excellent standard on 1992, the close is 11 well designed, 'high end' homes. Lovers of a walk/jog/ride will enjoy the many parks and green spaces that surround. Withdean Park and Hollingbury Park are close by as are the large playing fields of the Varndean campus. Stanmer Park and the Downs are easily accessed too.

There are fabulous school options given the catchment areas and proximity to Varndean, Dorothy Stringer and Balfour. There are also plenty of excellent independent schools available too. 

The neat front garden has mature trees, well kept lawns and a driveway that can accommodate a large number of cars. Entering the property there is a porch capable of taking care of coats and muddy boots. The wide hallway accommodates a downstairs WC and lots more storage. Wooden floors are throughout the downstairs hall and reception areas. The lounge / living room is a whopper! Extending the length of the house and with many windows and full glass patio doors to the garden - natural light flows through. There's room for a number of seating areas and a dining area if the separate dining room is required for another purpose. The dining room can be used for formal dining or if required it can work well as a study/office. 

The large Kitchen also has a dining area - fantastic for family breakfasts when the breakfast bar doesn't fit the whole gang! The German designer kitchen is as striking as it is well appointed. Plenty of storage at base and eye level, a range cooker that would make many a chef smile, integrated appliances and worktop heaven! Off the kitchen is a utility room, which takes care of the laundry as well as a kitchen overflow for those large occasions. Then we step down to a massive area which has bags of potential! The large garage has been adapted to a circa 25 Sqm space! It has it's own entrance to the side and it could be easily adapted to a separate studio/annexe. If that's not necessary, then it can fulfil a number of other guises: For example a large office/ workspace where clients can come in without accessing the house - ideal for therapists, beauticians, Private Trainers etc. Failing that it could be a family games room, a gym, an artists studio, a hobby room, teenagers bedroom/den.... I could go on.

Upstairs comfortably houses the largest of families in style. There are four excellent sized double bedrooms and the 5th is fine as a child's room or an office /study. The master suite is particularly spacious and well appointed. It has a large bedroom with views out across the back garden, a spacious dressing area and lovely en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 is another sizeable double, with built in wardrobes and again looks out over the back garden. Bedrooms 3 and 4 will also raise smiles and avoid sibling arguments about who gets which bedroom. The family bathroom is well proportioned and fans of a walk in shower or a soak in the bath will both be happy! 

The landscaped garden has a sociable patio which can be accessed from double doors in either the Living room or kitchen. There's a raised seating area which catches late sun, perfect for alfresco dining.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
