Why you’ll love it:
Port Hall is undoubtably one of the most desirable areas to live in the city. Quiet streets of Victorian terraces sit peacefully tucked away yet are perfectly located to access the city and all its delights on foot. Excellent schools also attract families here as they are Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ and transport links are excellent with commuter stations nearby, and bus routes or easy road access take you in and out of the city.

Sitting end of terrace with a fresh white façade adorned with the quintessential architectural features of the period, this Victorian house is attractive on approach. Its position on the road gives it an open aspect at the front looking out over the embankment across Preston Park to the South Downs in the far distance.

From the front door, the communal hallway is shared by just one other with your door opening to an internal staircase rising to the flat. The galleried landing adds to the feeling of space within while creating a stylish focal point with block colour and tall walls to adorn with art.

Frist from the landing, the kitchen sits to the rear of the building, fitted with smart white units and practical dark worktops. Within these, the induction hob and fan oven are integrated, leaving plenty of storage at both base and eye levels, alongside space for a tall fridge freezer, a washing machine and microwave.

Moving through the flat, the bathroom is well-appointed with a gleaming white bath suite and tiles and storage below the basin. Both bedrooms have easy access along the hall with the principal room facing east enjoying the views which are a joy to wake up to, but also for stargazing at night due to the vast open skyscape. The sitting room sits to the side of the building, with another deep bay window allowing space for a dining table and chairs while there is ample room elsewhere for comfortable furnishings. Bedroom two sits off the living room, making a versatile space as an office or a bedroom.

Agent’s thoughts:
This flat is incredibly well-presented so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease. You cannot beat the location with the station and Seven Dials nearby, yet it is incredibly peaceful here too – best of both worlds.

Owner’s thoughts:
“This is a light and airy flat which has been a fantastic home for us – a real haven. We have adored living so close to Seven Dials and it’s easy enough to walk into the city or to the beach. We are looking for a house now as our family grows, but we will miss our time here.”
