Bevendean Crescent, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

FOR SALE BY MODERN AUCTION

This big, blank canvas is a great first buy or investment with 3 double bedrooms, a social flow and a large garden with open land behind it, so it’s unusually quiet and private! Bright and cheerful with a generous 82.77m2 (890.92 sq. ft.) to explore inside, this attractive terraced house has room to grow up or out stc., and is set privately back from a residential street where there is plentiful free parking.

With a popular primary, nature reserve and a station within a 5 min drive, Moulescoomb is perfect for families, professionals and investors just a few minutes from Brighton University and about 10 minutes from the city centre - and the hard work has been done for you as this sun-lit family home is double glazed, the floors are stripped back to their original boards and both the kitchen, bathroom and boiler are modern, so you have time to create your dream home. At the bottom of the hill, the A270 takes you straight into the Brighton and its beaches or out to the Sussex University at Falmer, and both Lewes (10 mins) and Gatwick (35) are a reasonable commute.

Making the most of its elevated position with sweeping views from the top and uninterrupted light, this modern house with double glazing has friendly local amenities nearby – a convenience store is just a 4 minute walk. In an easy going, unpretentious area with a healthy mix of private and authority run homes this house is close to popular schools, a Nature Reserve and Wild Park. This area has always been favoured by locals seeking a first house, and investors are now also noticing that it is well-connected with spacious homes and gardens, plentiful parking, buses serving every part of the city as well as Sussex University, and the famous historic Lanes only 10 minutes by cab.

Set discreetly up and back from the street behind a mature hedge, the approach to this charming, terraced house with traditional tiled bays is appealing, although it’s worth noting that some neighbours have converted the frontage into off street parking, stnc. Inside, the bones of an inviting home are there and begin in the bright hallway which has an under stair cupboard for coats and bags.

At the front of the house, the living room is all about enjoying friends and family with 4.01m x 3.36m to enjoy complete with a custom made, arched media point. Next door, the spacious kitchen is comfortable being 3.34m x 2.86m (10’11 x 9’4), and part of the wall has been opened to the dining room so it’s practical for every day but also great for parties. The elegant dining room stretches a sunny, 4.97m x 3.01m (16’3 x 9’10) where guests can relax in rare seclusion and French doors in the southeast wall open to the garden, ideal for al fresco entertaining.

Outside, the garden is a southeast facing sun trap in need of a little tender care. A tranquil refuge surrounded by other gardens with no buildings behind, it’s easy to forget that you’re just a few minutes from the heart of the city – and its beaches- and it offers a host of exciting possibilities.

Returning inside, the bathroom is at the centre of the ground floor and upstairs, a central landing has access to the attic – giving food for thought perhaps. At the front, the first of the double bedrooms looks across lower buildings and a similar size, (avoiding ‘lively discussions’ about allocation) the second double room at the back is private with fitted wardrobes and garden views.

Also with glorious open views which sweep obliquely to the Nature Reserve, so it is not overlooked either, the principal bedroom is a dream in the making, blissfully peaceful with plenty of built in storage and 3.43m x 3.09m (11’3 x 10’1).
