Why you’ll like it:
Poets Corner continues to attract families and professionals looking to move to a fashionable area close to the coast, parks, good schools and transport links. There is a genuine sense of community here and its characterful Victorian terraces lend themselves well to family living.
This house sits in the ideally placed close to Stoneham Park and within a stone’s throw of Aldrington Station, yet it is nicely tucked away from the main shopping thoroughfare of Portland Road. The house is classic for the Victorian era with bay windows and a gable ensuring it is spacious and naturally light inside with room in the roof for a loft conversion (subject to planning).

Stepping inside, the living room is first to the right offering a versatile space as a sitting room or as a fourth bedroom if required. It is a generous size for families to be together in the evening, yet there is also space in the second reception room alongside the kitchen should you need to repurpose the space.

With ample space for relaxation and a dining table, the dining room is open to the kitchen creating the ideal sociable space. The potential is there to extend into the side return creating a large open plan space leading out to the garden which would become a lovely extension of the home during summer. As it stands, the kitchen is modern and a great size with plenty of storage in streamlined cabinetry alongside an integrated oven, hob and dishwasher, while the washing machine and fridge freezer are freestanding.

Outside, the walled garden is perfectly low maintenance, ready for the busy modern lifestyle. While it is technically north facing, it is open from east to west which allows the sunshine to filter in. There is huge scope to landscape, build seating or add lighting to create the perfect city garden for dining alfresco during summer.

Upstairs, the galleried landing is uniquely spacious allowing room for a desk to work from home. This space would also allow for a staircase into the loft should it be converted – all food for thought. All three bedrooms have the same decoration with white walls and grey carpets, with two being generous double rooms and the third a large single. They share use of the bathroom across the hall which is again classic in white with a shower over the bath.

This attractive home is situated in a popular area with plenty of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to Hove, Aldrington and Portslade Stations, plus the A27/A23 which have direct and fast links to the city centre, universities, airports and London.
