It is brimming with potential to add value in such a sought-after location as its well-proportioned rooms are versatile, bearing some original period features. It also boasts access to a sweet east facing patio garden – although the beach is on your doorstep as are the green spaces of The Steine and Pavilion Gardens.
Over Street is nicely tucked away from the main shopping thoroughfares in the area while remaining conveniently close. The properties here are quintessential of the Victorian era with canted bay sash windows and classic plasterwork decoration. The exterior of this house is fresh and modern in white, with grey for the ground floor which visually delineates the two properties in this building.
Entering on the ground floor, your door from the communal hallway opens directly to the living room which has ample space for comfortable furnishings and is freshly painted in white with a mid-grey feature wall around the original fireplace which complements the carpet. A tall sash bay window rises to the high ceiling, bringing in natural light from the west, providing the perfect spot for a small dining table looking out over the quiet street.
The kitchen is easily accessible from here and has been well designed for the galley space to include plenty of storage and worktop areas to prepare a meal. While the gas hob and fan oven are integrated, space has been left for a freestanding undercounter fridge and a washing machine, while the gas central heating boiler is wall mounted.
Also on the ground floor, the bathroom is classic in white with a shower over the bath. Both the kitchen and bathroom are areas where new owners can put their own stamp on the place with some modernisation to add value.
Outside, the garden is a sweet space to sit outside in the morning sun. It is perfectly low maintenance, ideal for the busy modern lifestyle, but equally, it would be possible to grow potted or climbing plants and herbs which would add colour and scent to the space, forming a lovely backdrop to the kitchen.
Stairs lead down to the bedrooms which are equal size double rooms, ideal if sharing or for those looking for a home office/art studio/workspace. The front bedroom benefits from a deep storage cupboard, but both rooms can house a king size bed and freestanding furnishings without compromising on floor space.
