Belle Vue Gardens, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

This light filled house has four or five bedrooms, with one or two reception rooms, plus a generous eat-in kitchen, together with a cellar and a large attic. The sunny courtyard garden faces due south, and there are sea views from two of the bedrooms.

This house is well located on a quiet residential street in the celebrated Kemp Town area with its convenient links to the city centre. Just around the corner are welcoming independent shops, restaurants and cafes that give a village feel to this delightful community. The promenade and beach are a short stroll away. There are further leisure and retail facilities at nearby Brighton Marina. For the commuter, Brighton Station is only 1.8 miles, with a direct regular bus service. The hospital is a short walk, as is the highly regarded Brighton College.

This versatile terraced home has been beautifully restored. The hallway, kitchen and garden terrace are tiled seamlessly in Fired Earth porcelain tiles to give a seaside vibe. The hallway is flooded by light from a roof light above the staircase whilst the white painted stairs, and generously proportioned landings, make the most of the natural light to give an airy feel.

The first and second storeys boast solid oak plank floors which reflect back sunlight from above, adding to the peaceful and light feel of the house.
The designer radiators in the hallway are emblematic of the quality of the refurbishment throughout the home which the owner has completely renovated with the intention that it should be her home for life.

As with many Victorian properties, the ceilings are high, giving a sense of generous space.
All original wooden sash windows to the front of the house have been restored, and white wood shutters added. All side and rear facing windows are modern double glazed.

On the ground floor, as well as the generous hall, there are two reception rooms, (although one is currently being used as a fifth bedroom), and a spacious dine-in kitchen. There are original fireplaces in the reception rooms together with newly installed slate hearths, and a hardwearing top quality designer grey wood floor.

The kitchen is sunny throughout the year (weather permitting!) with bifold doors out onto the south facing terrace and courtyard garden. As the position is slightly uphill of properties further south, there is again a feeling of open space and light, and it is a wonderful place to cook, eat and socialise. The garden also gets full sun through the whole year, making it possible to often sit outside even in the winter.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a bathroom. The largest bedroom is at the front of the first floor. It has 2 sets of original sash windows including a beautiful bay. It could easily be converted into a bedroom plus en suite. The current owner was intending to add a staircase here (still leaving a good sized double bedroom) up to the full height/width attic which could form an enormous additional bedroom suite with stunning sea views.

The second of the first floor bedrooms has partial sea views, around and above the houses of Kemptown. Both bedrooms at the back are flooded with sunlight, owing to their height on the hill, and south facing aspect.

The landing itself, oak-planked, as are all the upper floors, is unusually spacious and airy, and white painted stairs lead further up, to the top floor with its shower room and final bedroom.
The shower-room is newly refurbished to the highest standard. Fired Earth porcelain tiles are found once again, with a designer radiator and a brand new black metal framed window. The shower boasts gold glass shell tiles to make the room beautiful as well as functional. A newly installed shower pump ensures good quality water flow.

The bedroom on this top floor is arguably the show piece of the house with its beautiful south facing sea views. It makes a wonderful place to sleep or work from home office.

On a practical note, the house has up-to-date high quality electrics (fully certified) and gas central heating (gas also all certified), together with a commercial grade integrated wired in smoke detection system, and intumescent painted original Victorian doors and frames protecting the main exit route (rather than modern fire doors).
