Bloomsbury Street, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

Fabulous three bed contemporary house with a private patio with beaches, a vibrant café culture and the County Hospital on the doorstep. On a quiet one way street inside 84 sq m (904.17 sq. ft.) of bright, stylish rooms offered chain free, it’s good to go. A sun-lit living room has ample space for entertaining including space for a sofa bed for friends to stay over, whilst the separate kitchen dining room has a classic finish. On the ground floor, 2 comfortable bedrooms share a shower room – but not a wall- whilst on the top floor, the private principal bedroom is a beauty complete with a spacious en-suite bathroom.

2 blocks down you can walk or cycle for miles along the seafront to yoga, volleyball, a lido and a seafront sauna (and more!). The waterfront restaurants of the Marina are easy to reach whilst a scenic 15-20 minute stroll along St James’s Street takes you to the picturesque Georgian Lanes and cultural heart of the city, and Brighton’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are easy to reach – about 7 by cab, 15 by bus.

Why you’ll like it:
Enjoy the fabulous Brighton lifestyle in this sought after conservation area in a chic spot where local amenities include cafés, bistro pubs, a butcher’s and a bookstore as well as a pharmacy and a weekly farmer’s market, and if you are a health professional, teach at the College or commute, shops including a small Co-Op open early and close late.

Designed to be in keeping with the dainty Victorian cottages opposite, this discreet town house also delivers an easy, contemporary flow.
Ideal for sharers, two peaceful bedrooms are on the ground floor. The first versatile room of 2.73 x 2.4m (8’11 x 7’10) is light and airy - and there’s a chic shower room between it and the second double bedroom of 3.6 x 2.94m (11’9 x 9’7) has calm decoration and plenty of character with romantic French doors to the patio.

On the 1st floor, the stylish kitchen dining room is a classic black and white with space for a table beneath the box bay. Bright and cheerful with plenty of storage and fitted appliances, the attractive wood flooring continues through into the spacious living area, lined with windows to the south to bathe the room with light, which is also used as an occasional guest bedroom.

Private and peaceful on the top floor, the principal bedroom is a restful retreat, spanning a generous 5.58 x 3.46m (18’3 x 11’4), with fitted wardrobes to fill and a luxury en-suite which has a bath with a shower over.

Agent says:
“Ideal as a home or for holidays, this is a quiet but central location with easy access to our city’s main employers including the hospitals, legal quarter and Amex - and the famous al fresco, coastal lifestyle of the Village is on the doorstep.”

Owner’s secret:
“On a pretty, quiet road, there are plenty of cafés, bistro pubs and restaurants to choose from just around the corner and the hospital is just a 5 min walk. Inside all of the rooms are light and spacious – and there’s plentiful local permit parking with no list, and you can buy visitor permits for guests. The neighbours are friendly and you can walk to the Lanes either along the seafront or St. James’s Street which hosts a pride party. It’s worth going to the Marina as well which has cinemas, waterfront restaurants, a casino and a health club, and you can stroll to the Royal Pavilion in 15 mins and cab back in 5.’
