2 Bed Terraced House For Sale

With Brighton College around the corner, both Queen’s Park and outstanding St Luke’s Primary a 7 min walk and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London about 7 mins drive, this charming 2/3 bed Victorian cottage with a party patio, plentiful permit parking with no list and woodland walks at the end of the quiet no through terrace is a great home or investment.

Upstairs, the bathroom has a pretty, vintage suite but electric shower above the bath, two more double rooms are quiet and comfortable -and it’s worth noting that neighbouring homes have Velux in the roofline of the attic overhead, stnc. Nearby bus routes take you to the whole of the city including Brighton and Hove Stations, and the picturesque cultural heart of the city is a 25 min stroll – or 4 by car as permit zone C runs to the bottom of Eastern Road, opposite the Royal Pavilion.

Why you’ll like it:
Quiet and convenient, this is one of the most sought after conservation areas in our city close to the College to dog friendly Queen’s Park which has a pond, tennis courts, playground and café, and the sea.

Inside, the hallway is hushed with space for under stair storage and to the left, the sitting room has space to enjoy company, a broad bay to bathe the room with light and a gas fire for friends and family to enjoy. Next door, a ground floor bedroom is a comfortable double, but could be used as a private dining room or home office, and at the far end of the hallway, a bright and cheerful kitchen is sociable with a door to the patio, an easy layout and freestanding appliances which could stay, subject to circumstance.

Upstairs, the landing has an airing cupboard and the airy bathroom is a vintage beauty with a pretty, lemon suite and modern electric shower above the bath – although it would be easy enough to update it if you wanted to ramp up the glamour! With an attic overhead to think about, two more double bedrooms, one at the front and the other at the back, brim with light and character, and each are of comparable size with fitted wardrobes ready to fill.

Agent says:
“Popular with professionals, families and investors, properties in these historic, no through terraces by Queen’s Park and the College do not appear on the market often. With local shops and summer parties in surrounding streets, the location is ideal within walking distance of beaches with great amenities, and major employers are easy to reach.”

Owner’s secret:
“The city’s picturesque Lanes and famous arts venues are only a few mins away, although it is easy to forget that as you’re tucked away from the tourists here. We love the easy charm of the house where all of the rooms are spacious and inviting, and it is a comfortable home or good investment close to, but out of hearing of, Brighton College and both the County and the General Hospitals. Designed for a relaxed, everyday lifestyle as well as for entertaining, the bedrooms are peaceful, the neighbours are lovely and there is a lot going on locally, so you won’t get bored or lonely if you’re new to the city.”
