5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Brimming with potential for modernisation and further extension, this substantial semi-detached house will appeal to larger families or rental investors – particularly student rentals, as both Brighton and Sussex Universities are close by. Indeed, the house has been a successful student let property offering an excellent return on investment.

It sits located just off the Lewes Road close to several amenities, supermarkets and shops, alongside excellent bus routes into the city and to Falmer. Moulsecoomb Train Station is also close by for those travelling to Lewes or back into the centre of Brighton & Hove is minutes. Backing onto the South Downs National Park, the air is clearer here, and the landscape is green and leafy with an abundance of wildlife giving you the best of both worlds.

Elevated from the street behind a lawn front garden, the house has privacy from the road and passers-by. Stepping inside, the living areas span the right wing of the house with a sitting room leading through to a well-equipped kitchen. It would be possible to open these rooms to create one large open plan space with room for dining and relaxation, yet there is a conservatory room for summer dining too, sitting just off the kitchen leading out to the garden. The potential for further renovations is huge as the garden is large enough to take an extension without compromising on outside space – all subject to planning consents, of course.

Completing the ground floor are two double bedrooms, one with garden views and the other looking out over the leafy hillside of the local landscape. Both rooms are carpeted and have space for freestanding furnishings.

Up on the first floor are three further double bedrooms with carpet underfoot and double-glazed windows. Bedrooms one and two also benefits from built in storage and easy access to both bathrooms. One is lined in sandy porcelain stone tiles with a shower over the bath while the other is a shower room with new sanitaryware.

As neighbours have shown, there is potential to develop the loft space too – all food for thought and of potential interest to developers.
