Why you’ll like it:
Crown Street is a genuine hidden gem within the Clifton Hill Conservation Area — a quiet, no through road just moments from Western Road, yet enjoying a distinctly peaceful atmosphere. Lined with handsome white fronted homes and flower filled displays, it feels wonderfully removed from the bustle of the city. Number 10 immediately stands out, its cheerful yellow front door lending a welcoming splash of colour to the streetscape.

Inside, the house feels far more generous than its cottage façade suggests. The ground floor opens into a bright open plan living and dining space with original floorboards underfoot and excellent natural light via the curved bay window to the front. A deep chimney breast provides a strong focal point, while the generous proportions easily accommodate both comfortable seating and a full dining table.

Flowing through to the rear, the kitchen breakfast room offers a sociable hub of the home. Painted cabinetry is paired with dark granite worktops and a tiled splashback, creating a practical and characterful workspace. A range cooker sits proudly in place, and there is ample room for informal dining. French doors open directly onto the courtyard garden, allowing an easy transition between inside and out during warmer months for summer entertaining.

The west facing courtyard has been thoughtfully arranged with raised planting beds and original boundary walls, creating a surprisingly private and leafy setting. With space for outdoor dining and container planting, it is perfectly suited to evening meals, gardening or quiet relaxation.

Upstairs on the first floor are two well proportioned double bedrooms alongside the family bathroom. Both bedrooms retain the warmth of stripped wooden floors and enjoy good light, while the rear room benefits from a particularly tranquil outlook across neighbouring gardens.

The principal bedroom sits on the top floor beneath the eaves, offering a calm and secluded retreat. Dormer and Velux windows invite in excellent light and provide charming rooftop views, while the room’s layout allows for creative re design should a future owner wish to adapt or upgrade the space.

One of the home’s greatest advantages is its outstanding coastal position. Despite feeling tucked away and private, the beach is just a few minutes on foot, offering the rare combination of city centre convenience with the lifestyle benefits of the sea — fresh air, open horizons and an ever changing coastal backdrop.
