Franklin Street is a popular residential road, of terraced houses, in the Elm Grove area of Brighton. You can easily walk into town from here, or to the seafront; if you prefer, there are excellent bus services into the city centre. Nearer to home, there are numerous pubs, cafés and shops all close at hand. On Elm Grove, you will find The Flour Pot Bakery which serves delicious coffee and pastries, and Hilly Laine, an independent health food corner shop. This area has a wide appeal, to both young professionals and commuters, looking for easy access to the city or to Brighton Station, and also to families who want to be near parks and schools. William Clarke Park, known locally as The Patch, is at the end of the road, and Queen’s Park and The Level are also within easy reach. Fairlight and Elm Grove Primary schools are a short walk away and the house is in the catchment area for Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools.

The front door opens to a spacious, open-plan living/dining room, with wooden floors and stairs rising to the first floor. This is a dual-aspect room, with a window to the front and another overlooking the garden, in the dining area. The open-plan design gives a contemporary feel and this has been a fantastic space for entertaining for the current owners. On either side of the chimney breast there are built-in shelves and there is also a built-in cupboard. Beyond the dining area, at the back of the house, is the stylish kitchen. The cabinets have plywood doors and the design is sleek, with white metro tiles on the walls above the counter. There is an electric fan oven and a gas hob, full-height larder cupboards, an integrated fridge freezer, and integrated dishwasher. The washing machine is conveniently tucked away in a cupboard under the stairs. The kitchen is bright and airy, thanks to three windows and a glazed door onto the garden. Once outside there is space in the side return for bike storage and steps up to the higher level of the garden. In the flower border there is fig tree and a vine, both of which produce fruit, alongside herbs including rosemary, and lavender.

Upstairs the modern bathroom has underfloor heating and a freestanding bath as well as a large shower cubicle with both a fixed and a hand-held shower. A pocket-door has been installed to maximise space, and this room really is a luxurious size. The main bedroom is across the front of the house and is another spacious room, and the second bedroom is also a double. On the landing there is access to the loft space via a pull-down ladder and the loft has an electric light. The loft is big, with plenty of storage space and insulation and the whole house is double-glazed.
