Lorne Road, Brighton

A fantastic three-bedroom, two-bathroom Victorian house in a highly popular residential enclave at Preston Circus. The house has been extended into the loft space with an ensuite bedroom and is beautifully presented. Plenty of natural light throughout and an exceptional full side return kitchen opening out onto a good-sized landscaped garden. Open day Saturday 30th November. Viewing slots going fast.

On the ground floor, there is a living/dining room, over seven metres in length. At the front of the room, the bay window is dressed with white louvred shutters, and the living area is arranged around the wood burner. At the rear, there is a dining area with a door through to the kitchen. The kitchen is a sleek contemporary design with grey cabinets in a gloss finish, smart black counters and splashbacks in a sage green metro tile. A breakfast bar, with seating for two, is positioned with views of the garden, which is accessed through double doors. The gas hob has five burners and the electric oven is eye-level with a separate grill and all the appliances are integrated. Outside, the patio is on two levels, and is east-facing with an open aspect to the south which extends the sunshine hours in the garden. The ground floor also has a WC, which is located under the stairs.

On the first floor, there are two excellent bedrooms and a very spacious bathroom. The larger of the two bedrooms extends across the full width of the house and has a cast-iron fireplace, while the second bedroom is also a good double and has views over the garden. The bathroom is luxuriously spacious, with ample room for both a bath and a separate walk-in shower, which has fixed and hand-held shower heads.

The top floor of the house has been converted to provide a fantastic bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, which has a bath, WC and hand basin. The house is double-glazed throughout and there is storage in eaves cupboards, and a shed in the garden.
