Clyde Road, Brighton

KNIGHT & KNOXLEY are delighted to present this substantial Victorian home, located in one of Brighton's most desirable residential enclaves. This four-bedroom property has been lovingly maintained by the current owner, mixing contemporary finishes with traditional tones to create a versatile and beautifully balanced family home.

The house opens with an inviting entrance hall and a period turning staircase rising through the upper floors. At the front, the bay-windowed 40ft dual-aspect living/ dining room is bathed in natural light and features wooden flooring, high ceilings and a character fireplace. This generous room is perfect for entertaining or relaxing and leads to a contemporary, fully fitted kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, stainless steel finishes and skylights overhead that draw in daylight. The kitchen door opens to the rear patio garden, creating a lovely connection between indoor and outdoor living. To the rear, a separate utility room provides useful storage and workspace. A modern family bathroom completes this level.

On the first floor, a large double bedroom at the front of the house features a bay window and features an original fireplace and fitted cupboards, while a second double overlooks the garden. A stylish shower room sits on the half-landing. The second floor provides two further superbly spacious double bedrooms, offering flexibility for guests, children or a home office. Above, a large loft area offers scope for conversion, subject to necessary consents, presenting an exciting opportunity for future growth.

Outside, the south-west facing patio is a private suntrap retreat - the perfect setting for summer evenings and outdoor dining. Solar panels on the roof provide an additional benefit, significantly reducing energy bills and generating income for the current owner, with over £900 returned in the last six months alone.

The property is close to the open space of Preston Park and the Open Market and London Road/Preston Circus area, which offer numerous restaurants and a vibrant foodie scene. The famous Brighton Laines & beach are within walking distance. Artist open houses run through the spring months, along with summer fairs and street parties in Blaker's Park/Preston Park and surrounding streets. Looking for an evening out? The Duke Of York's Picture House is one of the best in the UK, along with great local pubs serving good food (try The Hare & Hounds, Joker, Open House, Signal Man, Park View, Preston Park Tavern). Excellent local shops, including Arkwright's delicatessen and Curio at The Circus, serving the best coffee and scrumptious treats. Brighton mainline station is moments away with a direct link to Victoria, accessible in less than one hour, perfect for commuters. Further good transport links directly to London from both Preston Park and London Road station, close by.
