With real charm in a prime location, this historic terraced house now embraces a sociable, contemporary lifestyle. The original ground floor reception rooms have been opened to create an inviting, light space extending to 7.07m (23’3) approx. with a large window at one end and French doors at the other opening to stylish split level areas for al fresco entertaining. Skilfully organised with versatile floorspace, classic parquet flooring underfoot and panelling painted in historic tones in keeping with the age of the property, there’s an easy flow to the sociable kitchen where built in seating and a table invite company and a door leads out to the patio and steps to the sun deck.
Outside offers great space for parties but also for every day with a secluded sheltered patio where you can work on a computer in the heat of high summer, and an upper deck of durable, composite decking which won’t buckle in the uninterrupted afternoon sunshine.
Returning inside, at the top of the stairs the fabulous, vaulted bathroom is a classic beauty with a modern twist, large enough for a roll top bath with a shower attachment and a separate walk in shower, where luxury fittings include a vanity unit beneath the hand basin and warming rails for towels.
On the first floor, at the back of house the first of the double bedrooms is light and airy with surprisingly open views over the private sun deck, so it is not directly overlooked. At the front, the second bedroom is a restful refuge ready for your move with two large windows to bathe the room with morning light and fitted wardrobes. The room is large enough to accommodate an en-suite bathroom, for which the plumbing and drainage are already in place. Whilst at the top, the third, sun-lit double room spans the width of this substantial historic building with five skylights to bring the outside in as well as ample floor space and under eave storage to enjoy.
Vendor’s Comments:
“Quiet but convenient the location couldn’t be better within a short walk of the sea, local shops, the Lanes and Marina, and as buses to take you along the coast or to the National Park you don’t really need a car here. Brighton Station is about 15 mins by bus or 7-10 by cab. Inside the rooms are light and spacious with a social flow. The private patio is a cool retreat after a busy day in the city or a hot one on the beach whilst the upper level is designed to bask in the sunshine and has built in seating. The Village is a great place to live with sociable parks nearby (you can walk straight onto the Downs from East Brighton Park) and there’s a supportive local community, good local schools and major employers on the doorstep.”
