Situated on a quiet one-way, access-only street in a sought-after area known for its friendly community, good schools, and local shops, homes in this location rarely come to market—making them highly desirable and quick to sell. This property lies between Queen’s Park and the bohemian café culture and beaches of Kemptown, which also hosts the County Hospital. Ideal for professionals, families, and investors alike, a scenic 15-minute stroll along the seafront takes you to the picturesque Georgian heart of the city or waterfront restaurants of the Marina. Easy access to the station for the airports and London is just a short walk away, by bus, or by cab. The south downs is also just a short walk away.

Homes on this particularly quiet street do not come onto the market very often, fostering a real sense of community among the residents. The annual summer street party and Christmas advent window is a beloved tradition here. With broad bays facing south for plenty of sunlight and a freshly painted façade, this house boasts excellent curb appeal. Step inside the solid wood door into a spacious hallway, from here you will find the reception room/bedroom four to the front and a family bathroom to the rear with both a bath and separate shower.

Upstairs on the first floor, you’ll find two additional double bedrooms and stairs leading up to the second floor, where a large bedroom awaits with dual-aspect Velux windows flooding the space with light.

Downstairs to the lower ground floor, you will discover a great-sized open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen room with doors to the front and rear. The modern fitted kitchen is a chef’s delight, offering plenty of storage space, solid countertops, and stylish tiled walls.

To the rear of this incredible home lies a private and secluded patio garden accessed via the ground floor—perfect for enjoying a glass of wine in the evening or alfresco dining at lunch.
