Set back from the surprisingly quiet, no through street this beautiful house with classic bow bays and historic architectural detail around the front door radiates Georgian charm and inside there’s a sensitive blend of character with an easy, contemporary flow.

Ideal for entertaining, the living room is a welcoming, versatile space with a large window at one end and a door to the patio at the other. With 6.96 x 4.0m (22’0 x 13’1) there is space to discreetly zone areas in which to work, rest or play and a feature fireplace where exposed bungaroosh acknowledges the age of the building delivers a space for scented candles.

Stretching 8.58 x 1.99m (21’8 x 6’6), the kitchen dining room is bright and cheerful where friends and family can enjoy dining whilst enjoying the garden and the kitchen is well planned with everything to hand from the fabulous range cooker – which could stay, subject to circumstance. Sliding doors reach the ceiling and outside, the tiled patio becomes an extension of the house during summer and easy to maintain, it also has power.

Returning inside, at the top of the stairs a spacious bathroom has a Georgian influence in the freestanding, talon foot bathtub with a shower over and carefully sourced traditional fittings, there’s nothing old fashioned about the high end finish and as is usual in these historic terraces, at the far end a door opens to the roof terrace.

With decking underfoot and iron railings in keeping with the building, the roof terrace has a generous 3.36 x 3.76 (11’0 x 12’4) to share.

Along the hallway, the first of the double rooms is light and airy with a period style fireplace and an alcove for wardrobes. Spanning the front of the building the principal bedroom is a restful retreat with a graceful 3.76 x 4m (12’4 x 13’1) in which to relax at the end of a busy day.

A 15 min walk or 5-6 mins by cab from the station with buses covering the whole of Brighton and Hove from Western Road, this fabulous location has an al fresco lifestyle you don’t need to travel for with shops, bars and restaurants of our legendary coastal resort around the corner. The picturesque cultural heart of the city surrounding the Royal Pavilion is easy to reach, and it is also convenient for parks that provide open spaces, sports facilities and host events during our festivals. Local schools are good and major employers of the city like Amex and the County Hospital are all within a 12-15 minute radius. For those who love the outdoors, the beach, water sports at Hove Lagoon and Marina are easy to reach - and don't forget our swift access to the National Park! For those who commute by car there is quick access to the 7 Dials and its 7 routes into or out of the city, including to the A23 and A27.
