Elm Grove is a tree-lined road of predominantly Victorian houses from which the Elm Grove area takes its name. Incredibly convenient for access to the city centre, but with its own strong community identity, the area is enduringly popular and has a quintessentially Brighton feel. On Elm Grove itself, there are local cafés and shops, including The Flour Pot Bakery which sells fantastic bread, and serves delicious coffee and pastries. Just a little further down the hill, is Hilly Laine, an independent health food corner shop. The North Laine is only twenty minutes away for a wider range of independent shops and Brighton Station is also within walking distance. Families who want to be near parks and schools are spoilt for choice. Queen’s Park has a playground and a café, and The Level has a playground and a skate park. Elm Grove and St Lukes Primary schools are a short walk away and the house is in the catchment area for Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools.

As you enter this attractive Victorian two-bedroom house, you find yourself in a smart hallway, with stripped original floorboards. To your left is the living room and ahead you can see the room opens up into the dining area, with a staircase rising to the first floor, dressed with a herringbone flat-weave stair runner. Entering the living room, the traditional three-sash bay window has an outlook to the front and a wood-burning stove has been installed in the fireplace. The dining room is a wide space, incorporating the staircase and has double doors onto the pretty garden. In this room there is a more traditional wooden fireplace surround with cast-iron insert. Off the dining room, at the rear of the property is an elegant kitchen with sleek white units and wooden worktops. The integrated appliances keep the look clean and simple, and include an integrated dishwasher, an integrated washer-dryer, a Neff double oven and grill and an integrated fridge-freezer. Outside the garden is south facing. Raised beds in the garden are well stocked with a variety of plants, including a bay tree, lavender, and many flowering shrubs.

Upstairs the main bedroom runs across the full width of the house with a bay window and there is a second bedroom with a window over the garden, that is currently being used as an artist’s studio. Both are comfortable double rooms. The stunning bathroom has been recently fitted, with a contemporary free standing bath and a separate shower cubicle with dual shower heads including a waterfall shower. Brass fittings and under floor heating give an added sense of luxury.


What the owner says:

“We have been very happy here for nearly seven years and have lovingly renovated our home throughout. Along with contemporary colourways, we’ve added modern technological touches, like bathroom underfloor heating and USB ports, to blend the convenience of modern living with the lovely Victorian period features. The absolute showpiece of the home is the bathroom: lounging in that huge bath at the end of a day is utter luxury. In the summer months, the lush garden becomes a secluded oasis: with the swifts wheeling overhead, there's no lovelier place to be. In the winter, the living room with its wood burning stove transforms into the cosy heart of the home. The location is the ideal mix of town and country. You benefit from the community buzz and fantastic pubs of Hanover, with an easy walk to the Laines or the station, yet you’re only 8 minutes walk to rolling green countryside via the racecourse and beyond.”
