This is a great place to be with local shops around the corner, the beach and a park which leads to Downland just 5 mins walk, and the hospital only 10 mins on foot – and the street is a quiet cul de sac with a friendly community as once found, people tend to stay. Outside, this late Victorian/ early Edwardian property has charm with original patterned brickwork, box bays and iron railings. Inside is instantly inviting with generous proportions and a bright hallway with a cheerful east west orientation.
At the front of the house, the living room is a restful retreat with a high ceiling and large windows where you can bathe in the afternoon sunshine. The brand new kitchen is lovely and bright with a practical layout. At the far end of the hallway, the bathroom (currently being finished) benefits from natural light, with an electric shower above the bath.
Upstairs, there is a broad landing with lots of natural light and the first of the double bedrooms has character with garden views. Next door, the larger double bedroom is a light, peaceful refuge and by it, a sweet room ideal to be used as a nursery or a study has 2.37 x 1.61m (7’9 x 5’3) to inspire ideas as it could also be a fabulous dressing room.
