Reigate Road, Brighton, BN1

Semi-detached house | Three bedrooms | Spacious lounge | Kitchen/dining room | Westerly garden | Gas CH | Scope for extension (stnc) | Close to Preston Park Station | Great for commuters

Reigate Road is an attractive residential road, just off Highcroft Villas. Commuters can walk to Preston Park station in around six minutes, and the area has a strong community feel, with many families choosing to live here because of the popular Stanford Infant and Stanford Junior schools on the doorstep. Dyke Road Park, which has tennis courts, a café and a children’s playground, is moments away, and both Hove Park and Preston Park are only a short walk from the house. The Dyke Alehouse is a relaxed local, serving food, and at Seven Dials there is a whole host of cafés and restaurants to choose from. Regular buses on Dyke Road run both to the city centre and the spectacular Sussex Downs.

This three-bedroom, semi-detached house, is beautifully presented and has a kitchen/breakfast room across the back of the house with doors onto a lovely garden. The house is set back from the road with a lovely landscaped front garden. A storm porch protects the entrance in wet weather, and the front door opens to a further lobby before you reach the main entrance hall. To your left is a well-proportioned living room with a square bay window overlooking the front garden, which lets plenty of light in, making this a bright and welcoming space. In the centre of the house is a staircase rising to the first floor, a wall of useful storage cupboards and a downstairs WC, off the hall. Moving through to the back of the house you come to a fantastic kitchen/dining room, which is a great space for either family or entertaining. The dining area has sliding doors onto the garden, which are perfect for the summer months. In the kitchen there is a monochrome scheme, with white units and black counters. There is space for a free-standing gas cooker, space for a fridge freezer and space for a dishwasher, while the laundry is kept conveniently out of the kitchen in the utility room at the rear (plenty of space for both a washing machine and dryer), from where there is a further door to the garden.

Outside, the garden has a patio area and a lawn surrounded by varied planting, including mature shrubs which provide year-round interest. There is also side access to the garden - great for getting bikes in and out.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom, arranged off a central landing. The main bedroom is across the full width of the house, at the front, and has a bay window and fitted wardrobes. A further two bedrooms overlook the back garden. The modern and stylish bathroom has a thermostatic shower over the bath and a handbasin set in a vanity unit. There is a monochrome tiled floor and the wall tiles are stunning, deep turquoise metro tiles.

What the owner says

"This house is in an excellent location midway between Hove and Preston Parks, having excellent nearby amenities, being close to everything Brighton has to offer while also being very well served by transport links. Our neighbours are lovely and friendly and the quiet road has a good sense of community.
It's a solid house from the 1920s with good space, plenty of storage and a very pleasant west-facing garden. We have loved living in it! It also has big potential for extending - in particular the loft space is huge."
