What the owner says:

"We viewed several properties before finding this one, but it immediately stood out. The combination of beautiful Victorian character, a high-quality renovation and thoughtful design made it feel like somewhere we could truly make our home. Since then, we’ve continued to invest in the property, making further improvements and maintaining it to a high standard, so it’s ready for its next owners to move straight into.

We’ve really enjoyed having the best of both worlds – being just minutes from Brighton city centre and the beach, while also being close to the South Downs National Park, Stanmer Park and beautiful countryside walks. The nearby bus depot has been incredibly convenient, making it quick and easy to get anywhere in Brighton, while having supermarkets and other everyday amenities close by has made day-to-day life easy.

One of our favourite things about the house is how it combines original Victorian features, including the fireplaces, with modern, high-quality finishes. The spacious layout, three generous bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms, generous garden with its garden room and abundance of built-in storage have made it a practical and enjoyable home to live in."
