Norway Street, Portslade, Brighton, BN41 1GN

Norway street

Charming mid terraced period property with a 60ft westerly aspect garden. Conveniently situated on a quiet street close to the Hove boundary, it’s within a 5 minute walk of Portslade Station with regular London services, as well as the bustling Boundary Road with its wide range of shops, eateries and conveniences.

Offered with no onward chain, the property has been well looked after but would benefit from modernisation. It is presented in a liveable condition, making it an ideal blank canvas for those wishing to renovate and create a home truly tailored to their taste. There is good scope to extend to the rear or into the loft STNC, with the landing offering space to continue the staircase without compromising existing rooms.

Entering through a welcoming hallway, there is a bay fronted lounge filled with natural light. Moving towards the back of the home, you’ll find a good sized dining room featuring a character fireplace and patio doors opening onto the garden.

Leading from the dining room is a well proportioned kitchen with two windows and an understairs cupboard. The units are older in style but well maintained, with space for an oven and washing machine.

The bathroom is positioned behind the kitchen and is currently arranged as two separate spaces – an inner lobby with a door to a separate WC. The bathroom itself includes a bath, pedestal wash basin and freestanding shower cubicle. There is potential to reconfigure the layout into one generous room, or, as is common with this style of property, to relocate the bathroom upstairs into the back bedroom to create a spacious, luxury family bathroom.

On the first floor are three well sized bedrooms, all featuring period fireplaces. The main bedroom spans the width of the property and offers ample space for bedroom furniture. Bedrooms two and three are also double rooms.

Outside

The westerly aspect garden measures approximately 60ft, laid to lawn with paved stepping stones and mature flower boarder with a selection of small trees. At the foot of the garden is a greenhouse and shed along with a rear access gate, leading to an alleyway running behind the two neighbouring properties and out to Franklin Road. This alleyway sits within the property’s title, with rights of access for the two neighbouring homes.

To the front is a lawned garden enclosed by a low wall, creating a pleasant separation from the pavement and providing space for a feature garden. A lovely original detail is the period tiled pathway leading to the front door.

Location

Tucked away in the heart of Old Portslade, this characterful home sits on a peaceful residential street lined with attractive period properties in a variety of styles. At the end of the road is Vale Park, a large open space with wooded areas, circular pathways, multiple entrances and a substantial play park suitable for all ages – the perfect daily escape and an excellent spot for active families.

To the east is Boundary Road on the Hove border, and less than a mile away are The Western Lawns and Hove Lagoon with its tranquil gardens, lagoon, beach access, popular café, watersports centre, play park, splash pool and skate park.

Boundary Road itself is the main shopping parade, offering a large selection of shops, eateries, convenience stores and social spots including bustling pubs, restaurants and takeaways to suit all tastes. There is a Tesco on the high street, or a larger Sainsbury’s a 5 minute drive away.

Portslade Station sits in the middle of Boundary Road and is just a 7 minute walk from the house, offering regular services to London as well as links to Hove in 5 minutes and Brighton in 8 minutes. Excellent bus routes also connect the area, making enjoying everything Brighton & Hove has to offer effortless. Road connections are strong too, with easy access to the A27/A23.
