Good to go, the vendors are willing to discuss furniture, fittings and even linen, so you can hit the floor running with minimal moving expenses – or no interruption of the income stream if you want an investment.

On a pedestrian terrace where local permit parking has no list, inside no expense has been spared to create an inviting home where 71.92m2 (774.14 sq. ft.) of bright, stylish rooms offer a sociable, coastal lifestyle. A sunny, double depth living dining room/ kitchen has ample space for entertaining and a wall of glass opening to a patio perfect for friends to spill out to, whilst the high-spec kitchen area has a classic finish. There’s a ground floor w.c. for guests whilst upstairs, the contemporary shower room has touches of luxury. The meticulous commitment to comfort continues in the two, immaculate double bedrooms and private on the top floor, the vaulted principal bedroom is a light, airy refuge and comes with a beautiful en -suite bathroom with a designer finish.

Ideal for professionals and families, major employers e.g. the Law Courts, Amex and the County Hospital are on the doorstep and local schools are good including St Luke’s and Brighton College. This is a great spot to be with something for everyone, and for such a central location it is surrounded by green spaces including a walled park opposite and the Pavilion Gardens at the bottom of the road where locals like to have lunch in the sun. Although you can walk to all of the major attractions, there are bus routes to take you into or out of the city and if you like the great outdoors, you can cycle or run for miles along the seafront and undercliff walk to Rottingdean, whilst a stroll along the seafront will take you to the yacht club of the Marina or to the sports facilities and countryside walks of East Brighton Park.

Why you’ll like it:
Enjoy the unique Brighton lifestyle in this prime location with fresh local produce, shops, cafés and restaurants on your doorstep. This beautiful end of terrace house was built in historic style in 1988 to replace the original Georgian terrace which was demolished in 1974, and has been beautifully updated over the past few years with cast iron radiators, shutters by Shutters Up, new electrics, new kitchen and new bathrooms (1 with underfloor heating) - all done to an exacting standard.

With a pretty frontage it has ample charm although the discreet tiles of the front garden are a hint of the design-led interior to come which includes lighting and furniture - and remember that you could buy the property as it stands, subject to negotiation.

The Living Dining Room Kitchen:
Inside, oak is underfoot, the ceilings are surprisingly high and the double depth living room is inviting with a large south facing window at the front and fashionable Crittall French doors in the far wall to bring the outside in. There’s plenty of versatile space to enjoy with friends and family, and even a chic C.P. Hart designed w.c. tucked away for guests.

Ideal for those who like to entertain, the stylish kitchen bridges the patio and the house, perfect for seamless entertaining both inside and out. Full of sunshine by day with a choice of lighting levels for the evening, it’s a classic beauty which won’t date with shaker units delivering ample storage and user friendly, solid wood surfaces. Only put in a few years ago it’s good to go with sleek high spec appliances which include an integrated dishwasher, a Samsung touch induction hob and Bosch combi/micro oven, there’s designated space for a fridge freezer (the vendors are willing to discuss the fabulous Smeg in place) and there’s also discreet plumbing for a washer dryer beneath the stairs.

The Patio:
Outside the patio is an oasis of calm at the heart of the city, ideal for a relaxed al fresco lifestyle you don’t need to travel for! Open to the east and west, it’s a sociable extension of the house and the perfect spot for friends to meet before a day at the beach or exploring our vibrant coastal city at night. With a tiled floor to match those in the front garden and level with the kitchen for an easy in/out flow, it is designed for ease of maintenance so you’ll have more time to enjoy it.
Two 1st Floor Bedrooms and Luxury Bathroom:
Upstairs, the first of the double bedrooms is at the back with simple but stylish decoration and views over the patio. Central to this storey, so the bedrooms don’t share a wall, the fabulous shower room is lined with designer tiling with high end, black fittings including the dual head shower system and warming rails for towels. At the front, the second double bedroom is an elegant refuge at the end of the day which stretches across the full width of the building from east to west, and with calm decoration, you won’t want to change a thing.

The Principal Bedroom, En-Suite:
A vaulted beauty with exposed beams and windows to the south and east, the principal bedroom is a light and airy retreat where you can rest beneath a skylight which frames the night sky. There’s a generous 3.80 x 3.70m (12’5 x 12’1) to relax into with fitted wardrobes to fill as well as under eave storage, and the flawless en-suite has a subtle Georgian influence in the talon footed bathtub and rounded basin resting on a marble surface, but there is nothing old fashioned about these high spec Italian fittings or Capietra tiling!

Agent Says:
“A wonderful home, this property also has the potential to continue as the perfect bnb investment property, with future bookings already in place and could be sold with all the furniture, fittings and even linen from The White House, so you could hit the floor running with no interruption of the income stream.”

Owner’s secret:
“Off a friendly one way street, we have loved this house which is ideal for entertaining as it has an easy one level flow to the patio, and we designed it to a very high standard as we were hoping to stay in it for longer! There are plenty of cafés, bistro pubs and restaurants to choose from just around the corner and the Royal Pavilion, the Dome and Corn Exchange are 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. Local schools are good and include Brighton College. It’s worth going to the Marina as well which has cinemas, waterfront restaurants, a casino and a health club.”
