Why you’ll like it:
Set back from the quiet road with leafy surroundings, this attractive semi-detached home immediately gives a sense of space and calm. A footpath around the corner leads to Coldean Woods, and a convenience store is just a few minutes’ stroll away. Buses stop right outside for easy connections to Brighton city centre, Falmer, and Lewes, while the A23 and A27 are within quick reach for commuters.

Inside, the layout is both sociable and practical. A spacious porch and broad hallway provide plenty of room for coats, bags and bikes, leading into the bright living room where a large picture window draws in the sunshine and frames garden views. With over 14ft of floorspace, it’s a warm and welcoming space that feels immediately like home.

Across the back of the house, the newly fitted kitchen and dining area span over 21ft, creating an impressive open-plan space perfect for family life or entertaining friends. The contemporary kitchen features ample storage, sleek worktops, a gas hob and oven beneath a hood, and space for a breakfast or dining table. Adjoining this is a generous utility room—over 17ft long—ideal for laundry and storage, with a handy ground floor W.C. and side access to the garden.

Upstairs, the light and airy shower room has a modern finish, complete with a sleek vanity unit and rainfall shower. All three bedrooms are doubles, each with plenty of room for storage and study space, and two include built-in wardrobes. The home’s décor is fresh, neutral and ready to move into, with new carpets and a contemporary finish throughout.

Outside, the fenced rear garden is a sunny retreat and easy to maintain, designed with relaxation and practicality in mind. A solid wood picnic table sits on the lawn—perfect for summer dining—and the detached garage currently serves as a secure bike store.

Owner’s secret:
“The house has such a lovely feel — bright, private and really easy to look after. The living room and kitchen are great for socialising, and the garden gets the sun all afternoon. We modernised the kitchen and bathroom to make it stylish but low-maintenance, and the location has been brilliant — quiet but with everything close by. You can reach both universities, the Downs, and even the sea really easily from here.”
