2 bedroom semi-detached house

Perfectly positioned between the coast and the countryside, Mile Oak & Portslade have the best of both worlds. This sweet two-bedroom house sits close to the South Downs but has excellent transport links nearby and space for parking on the drive and within the garage, so for those who commute, you can be out onto the A27/A23 in minutes. Internally, the house is well-presented with a neutral décor, yet there is plenty of scope to add value with further modernisations to put your own stamp on the place. It would be possible to convert the garage into a habitable space as it is adjoining, or extend further into the garden, so there are plenty of options.

Local schools are great and there is a tangible sense of community to the area which will appeal to young families.

Why you’ll like it:
Attractive on the approach, this house and its neighbour are set back from the road behind neat front gardens and a driveway leading to the garage. The outlook is leafy on all sides and the air is fresh, raised up above the city close to the open skies of the countryside.

Stepping inside, you gain a line of sight right through the house to the garden beyond. Engineered oak flooring runs through the ground floor, paired with walls of white or mocha to complement warm wood tones. First to the right, the kitchen is sunny and light, having been well-designed for the space allowing for ample storage and some integrated appliances, while leaving space for a washing machine, dishwasher and a tall fridge freezer in the space just outside the door, below the stairs.

Within the living room, there are clearly defined areas for formal dining and relaxation which can spill outside to the garden patio during warmer weather. It is perfectly low maintenance with space for little ones to play in safety and it not overlooked in the slightest. There is scope for further planting if you have the time or inclination – yet it is a lovely space to sit and relax as it stands.

Returning inside, there are two double bedrooms on the first floor; one with built-in wardrobes and the other with far-reaching open views which are a joy to wake up to. They share use of the shower room which is smart and fully functional with a powerful shower and a tall, heated rail to warm you and your towels during winter.

This sweet home is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and parks nearby. The city centre shopping districts and beach are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to the A27 & A23 with their direct and fast roads to the airports and London.
