Terminus Street, Brighton, BN1

Built in the 1840’s, these sweet cottages were prominently built for rail workers, though you no longer need to work on the tracks to live in one, they do make them ideal for anyone looking to be close to links into London and beyond. Number 5 Terminus Street which we have here still retains many period features and charm from back in the day yet has benefited from modern day home comfort upgrades throughout its life.

The property has been rented for many years which means important things like the gas and electrics have always been well maintained and modernised with safety certificates to prove, providing important and sometimes costly elements when purchasing an old home. This cottage is freehold and being sold with no ongoing chain allowing purchasers to move in swiftly should they wish. 

Presented in good condition throughout, the current owners have spent some time and money on refreshing throughout with new carpets and paint throughout leaving the option for the new owners to upgrade and make their own should they wish but without the need to do anything straight away. The front of the house has original windows though at the back the windows have been upgraded to double glazed units making for cosier winters. 

Stripped floorboards greet you as you enter, original doors throughout and a bright and airy double reception complete with fire places make this a perfect blend of old meets modern day living. You’ll find double doors at the end which lead out on the sunny patio garden. The kitchen is fully functional with newly waxed worktops and all the appliances a budding chef would need whilst you also have space do dine at the rear whilst there are also doors on to the garden. 

Upstairs you’ll find newly laid carpets throughout, the bathroom is large and comes complete with bath and a separate shower. Both bedrooms are double with the main featuring a fire place. Should you require storage space or perhaps fancy creating an additional room or work space there is a pull down ladder to a fully boarded loft with lighting. 

Terminus Street is a quiet cul-de-sac residential road literally within a minutes walk to Brighton rail station yet you’ll find two alleyways at the top end which will guide you towards the charming Seven Dials.
