Situated on a quiet road in Port Hall, just a short stroll from Brighton Station and fashionable Seven Dials, stands this beautiful, three-bedroom Victorian terraced house. Renovated and redecorated in recent years, it is immaculate throughout, yet the original character and heritage of the building have been retained.

Families with children of all ages will appreciate the excellent school catchment which includes primary, secondary and sixth form. There are several highly acclaimed private schools and pre-schools also within walking distance, alongside three beautiful parks and the beach, just 15-minutes away. For professionals and commuters, Brighton Station is an easy stroll, or Preston Park Station is equally close, offering fast trains to London in under an hour.

Sitting mid-terrace with a fresh white façade adorned with the quintessential architectural features of the era, this Victorian house is attractive on approach. Set back from the road behind a leafy front garden, steps rise to the front door, opening to a long corridor stretching through the depth of the house. Gleaming wood floors have been varnished back to their original form, running seamlessly across the threshold into the through living and dining room.

Naturally light with an east to west aspect and dual windows, this is a versatile space for both families and professionals to relax in the evening, to entertain or dine alongside the kitchen. There is ample space for generous furnishings; for a desk to work from home, or for a play space for little ones if needed. During the cooler seasons, the fireplace is open, then in summer, French doors open to the garden which offers a fine space for dining alfresco in the last of the summer sunshine.

Well-appointed with plenty of storage and integrated appliances, the kitchen is ready to go without changing a thing. Solid oak worktops echo the tone of the floor and dual ovens are placed in a tower for easy access and cleaning

Outside is perfectly low maintenance with an area of raised decking in stylish charcoal grey, paired perfectly with the original walls in natural stone and terracotta. It is a private space for a terraced home, and a great size for somewhere so close to the city centre.

Stepping up to the first floor, the landing stretches back through the house to two glamorous bathrooms, one with a shower, basin and WC, while the other has a bath with shower over it and a second WC – ideal in any shared space. The utility room is also up here, peacefully tucked away from the main living spaces.

Spanning the front of the house, the principal bedroom is a generous double room with soft carpet underfoot and bespoke cabinetry built into the alcoves to maximise the floor space allowing for a king size bed. Bedroom three sits peacefully looking out over the garden, and while dressed with a single bed, would easily accommodate a double.

Elevated higher in the house, the bedroom two spans the entire top floor with three Velux windows looking out over the local historic landscape on both sides. It is ultimately peaceful up here, allowing you to stargaze as you drift off to sleep.

Vendor's Comments: - “This has been a wonderful house for us as it works well during the summer when the garden becomes a lovely extension of the living space, but also in winter when we can cosy up by the fire. You cannot beat the location for convenience. The Station, Seven Dials and the beach are all within walking distance, which is what we will miss the most.”
