Why You’ll Like It:
Quiet but convenient with plentiful permit parking, now is the time to buy in one of the most sought after conservation areas in our coastal city between the fashionable ‘village’ of Richardson Road and the seafront which is currently being improved to deliver a linear park with playgrounds, skate park and cafes which will stretch from the King Alfred to the water sports of Hove Lagoon. Family and dog friendly Wish Park is a 10-15 min walk (3 by car-same zone) and local bus routes take you in or out of the city – or to the secondary schools and station.

The Entrance:
With great charm from the kerb, this beautiful semi-detached home with discreet double glazing is set well back from the tree-lined street behind a paved front garden where a tiled pathway leads to a charming entrance with stained glass. Inside, the hallway is a classic beauty, painted in the historic hues of Farrow and Ball to compliment the period fireplace and impressive example of an Edwardian staircase. Oak flooring is underfoot for a fuss free flow and a boot room with a discreet utility area and w.c. for guests is tucked away.
The Reception, Dining Room and Conservatory:
Combining elegance and comfort, the gracious proportions of the living room deliver an inviting space in which to spread your wings. Sunlight streams through the broad bay and overhead, swan neck coving and a picture rail remain unspoilt. A welcoming room in all seasons, friends can relax by a roaring fire.

Perfect for everyday but also for parties, the dining room is a quiet retreat where guests can enjoy rare seclusion. With a fireplace which the current owners have never used but believe to be open, this versatile space extends into a vaulted, curved conservatory to bring the outside in.

The Kitchen Breakfast Room:
A sun-lit sanctuary at the heart of the home, the kitchen breakfast room in city farmhouse style opens to the breakfast terrace and sociable garden, and has ample space for a big family table beneath the raised and beamed ceiling. With a choice of lighting levels and granite working surfaces, the high spec kitchen area is safely tucked away from the social flow behind a custom made peninsular island and the vendors are willing to discuss the high spec, freestanding appliances which include the magnificent, steel Smeg range.

The 1 Bed Annexe and Garden:
Ideal for family, friends or even working from home, the ground floor annexe, designed for an older child, has an entrance from the house as well as from the off street parking space. Inside, the living room is completely private, the en-suite has an electric, Triton shower and the bedroom is a generous double with garden views.

Sociable, secure and surrounded by a sea of green, the east facing garden is open to the south. A secret oasis thoughtfully landscaped for an al fresco lifestyle, there is always a spot to sit in the sunshine or retreat from the heat of the day. Larger than many this close to the city and the sea, the sun skims around the house and over the roof in high summer to set in the southwest corner, which is planted with exotic plants and palms for a holiday feel. There’s an area for a bright breakfast or shaded tea by the kitchen, and a paved side area for a bbq is built in by a large sun deck which sweeps across the garden to the south with plenty of space for dining, and has inset LED lighting and power so you can enjoy it at any time of year.

The 1st Floor Guest Room, 3 Family Bedrooms and Luxury Bathroom:
At the top of a beautiful staircase a large landing, all on one level, stretches from front to back of this substantial building, so there’s an easy flow. At the front, the first of the double bedrooms is simple but stylish and opens to the west facing balcony with views to the sea. Next door, a romantic second bedroom is ideal for guests with space and grace, where they can bathe in glory enjoying the seaside setting in a freestanding, roll top tub - and there’s also a unique hand basin to spot.

Quiet at the back of the property, two more spacious double bedrooms are light and inviting with space for study and fitted wardrobes to fill, and looking over the garden with calm decoration, you won’t need to change a thing. Central to this floor, the airy bathroom is a spa-like retreat with natural light, a fashionable dual shower system above the bath, a bespoke cabinet beneath the designer hand basin, and underfloor heat as well as a high end ‘Wilde and Bloom’ warming rail for towels.

The Top Floor: The Principal Suite, Bedroom 6:
Stretching a majestic 44m2 (473 sq. ft.) from east to west over the entire top storey, the principal suite is a sun-lit sanctuary lined with windows to bathe the private bedroom and its rest area with light, whilst skylights frame the night sky. A glamorous en-suite shower room continues the subtle but meticulous attention to detail with high end, Grohe and Heritage fittings, and the fabulous dressing room has 2.27 x 6.75m (7’5 x 22’2) of custom made lit storage.

Agent Says:
“In a tranquil enclave of Edwardian terraces close to the sea, shops and station, this beautiful home has exceptional period features, a welcoming flow to the garden and plenty of space for friends, family and/or working from home - and a rare focus on the creation of a restful principal suite.”
Owner’s secret:

“With sea views, we are reminded to enjoy the wonderful seaside location every day, and returning to these elegant period features and open fires remind us how lucky we are. The easy flow of the ground floor to the garden is perfect for a growing family or entertaining and all of the rooms have beautiful proportions, so we never feel on top of each other. There is plenty of space for friends or family to stay over and the ground floor bedroom suite is a versatile, future proof bonus. The area is safe and friendly, there’s a café, a butchers and a grocers at one end of the avenue and waterfront venues like Rockwater, are at the other. We are not always tied to the car as there are plenty of buses along Church Road (and so you would not always be tied to the children either!). Convenient for nights out locally, in Brighton’s picturesque heart or in the West End as Hove station has direct trains to Gatwick and London, we shall miss our happy home and garden, but it is time for us to move on and let some-one else enjoy it.”
