A fabulous project where you can create a dream home or get on the development ladder, this big 5 bed, 2 bath Victorian terraced house with astonishing open views, a conservatory opening to a large, private garden and plentiful permit parking is in one of the most popular locations in the city: Roundhill. Elevated for uninterrupted light and rare privacy, it looks modest from the street but there are 4 spacious storeys delivering a generous – and versatile - 144.23m2 (1552.46 sq. ft.) excluding the large attic, with entrances from the street at ground floor and lower floor levels.

Convenient for professionals, families and investors this quiet terrace is within walking distance of London Road, named as the 4th coolest neighbourhood by Time Out, as well as good infant and junior schools, and the playgrounds and cafés of The Level and Preston Park (which also host events) are within a 5 min drive – and both have the same parking zone. There is swift access into Brighton and its beaches or to the universities and the National Park by bus or car, and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London is just 5 mins by cab, or 15-20 on foot.

Inside, this do-er upper has a nautical theme and the rooms at the back are double glazed. The ground and first floors together deliver four double bedrooms and contemporary shower room. The lower floor, with its own entrance from the street, has an open plan kitchen/living and dining room where the steel units and Smeg touch induction range will stay. There’s also the discreet, 2nd modern bathroom tucked away at the back. On the garden level, a passageway is lined with cupboards, one of which conceals plumbing for utility machines and the fifth double bedroom, with built in shutters, looks through the conservatory to the garden. Full of sunlight, the conservatory has yet more storage and French doors to a long, large garden, which needs attention but inspires ideas.

This prime location is within the golden triangle just 10 minutes from our famous pebble beaches and located between Lewes Road which takes you into the city centre, links to Hove or out to the A23/A27 in minutes, and Ditchling Road which takes you to the historic heart of the city and famous Lanes or to open countryside and picturesque Downland villages. Our Preston Park team has specialised knowledge of this area in sales, development and renting, and we’re here for you if you’d like to discuss options for the property and the process of purchasing at auction.

Why you’ll like it:
Far quieter than its fashionable location may suggest, this terrace of historic properties has a real sense of community as once discovered, people tend to stay. Set back from a quiet street, this grand Victorian townhouse is ripe for development – but with a modern kitchen and bathrooms, time is on your side as you decide to create a dream home (or two!), stnc.

Inside has a cheerful east west orientation, high ceilings, well- proportioned rooms and four/potentially five storeys which offer versatile options. As is usual in these terraces, two rooms on the ground floor are big, bright and used as bedrooms- although these rooms could become an open plan reception if you decided to extend into the attic, as some neighbours have done, stnc.

Up passing the first landing window -it’s worth noting that next door has a roof terrace on their flat roof – the first floor delivers 37.06m2 (398.91 sq. ft.) to explore. The third double room at the back has open views across the valley to the hills of Hanover whilst at the front, an inner lobby leads to the fourth bedroom which has plenty of character of its own with a shower room next door. And don’t forget the vast attic above your head!

On the lower floor, an open plan living dining room/kitchen spans a generous 8.20 x 4.8m (26’10 x 15’8) with a door to the street steps. Built in an age reliant on natural light it has plenty of it with a ceiling high bay at the front and a large window to frame the open views at the back. There’s ample space for sofas and a big family table as well as built in storage, and the kitchen area is basic but practical with steel units - and the Smeg touch induction range is included in the price. Also on this level, the bathroom needs attention but is bright, cheerful and large enough for a bath with a shower attachment.

The garden level is in need of assistance in areas, but offers 29.28m2 (315.16 sq. ft.) of versatile accommodation. The passageway is lined with organised storage, where one of the large cupboards conceals plumbing and power for two utility machines - and we’re told that the appliances in situ could stay, subject to circumstance. Quiet and comfortable, the fifth double bedroom with garden views has space for study with shutters to the window for privacy, and the conservatory with a Perspex roof offers an adaptable space with storage and French doors to the garden.

An east facing retreat open to the south, the garden looks a little daunting but it’s a worthy endeavour, surrounded by a sea of gardens to each side and below. Larger than many this close to the city centre and the sea, it will repay any love you give it as the bones of a spacious oasis are there, tiered to embrace its hillside setting and stunning views.
