Approach

In our opinion this particular house has one of the best situations in the street enjoying an elevated position with an open westerly aspect. From level ground, a walled and fenced frontage surrounds a pretty lawned garden with a Cherry blossom tree leading to the original portico and front door.

Accommodation

This beautiful family home has been sensitively renovated and improved in recent years offering excellent family accommodation with spacious, characterful rooms. Externally, the property has bay fronted, rendered elevations under a tiled roof. The front door with opaque glass insets leads to a vestibule with brush door matt; a glass panelled door then opens in to the split level entrance hall having Oak flooring and with stairs to the first and second floors as well as down to the kitchen breakfast room. The vestibule, hallway, and sitting room have beautiful period ceilings, mouldings and corbels.

Enjoying a dual aspect is the through reception room that has Oak flooring; the lounge area has a wonderful open fireplace and stone mantel, bespoke hand crafted cupboards with soft close openers, and a westerly aspect overlooking the front garden from the three quarter height bay windows. To the dining or play area is another timber framed double glazed window.

Being the hub of the house, the bespoke kitchen, has been extended by the current owners (circa 24 months ago) having handcrafted cupboards and drawers. This social family space has a dishwasher, 4 ring gas hob, fan oven under, and extractor above. In addition, there is appliance space for an upright fridge freezer and no kitchen would be complete without a sink unit and drainer. A certain feature of this room is the polished ceramic tiled work surface surround, but also the abundance of natural light the room enjoys from the double glazed casement windows overlooking the garden as well as the French doors and the skylight. Furthermore, there is ample space to dine.

Another attribute worthy of note are the two cellars this property has. One from the kitchen that runs under the majority of the house and provides great storage for bikes. The other side to the cellar can be accessed via a hidden under stairs cupboard by the stairs down to the kitchen.

A turning stair case rises to the first floor half landing where there is a utility cupboard with shelving and space with plumbing for a washing machine. Above is a small hatch and ladder to an attic space (restricted height). The well-fitted, beautifully traditional family bathroom is situated at half landing and boasts Burlington sanitary wear. There is a roll top free-standing bath, a wash hand basin, W.C., walk-in shower (wet room style) with glass screen, heated towel rail all complemented by a marble tiled floor and natural light coming from the obscured glazed window.

To the remainder of the first floor are two double bedrooms. The front aspect room is generous in size with a lovely bay window and built in wardrobe to the chimney stack with original fireplace and cast iron inset. Bedroom two, has a fitted cupboard to one side of the chimney stack and shelves and storage to the other side.

A matching turning stair case leads to the second floor. This dual aspect room has a fantastic views to the East from double glazed windows looking across Brighton to the South Downs beyond. There are hand crafted bespoke wardrobes with push-open soft closing doors as well as eaves storage. A further bonus is the en-suite, again of sympathetic design having Victorian style green wall tiles and further comprising a walk-in shower with glass screen, wash hand basin and W.C.

Outside

Accessed via the French doors from the kitchen, or from the twitten (gated) leading from Coventry Street is the rear garden. Laid to paving, the secluded garden has high walls and planters with seating.
