Guide Price £1,000,000
Set in the fashionable Clifton Hill conservation area, close to the commercial districts and cultural heart of the city. The whole of Brighton and Hove is easy to reach on foot, by bus, or by car, with Brighton station and its direct links to Gatwick and London only a 15-minute walk, making it ideal for commuters. This sought after location is within minutes of fashionable shopping, restaurants, clubs, cinemas, theatres and the beach. It is also conveniently located for parks and gardens, which provide green spaces, but also host events in the city’s numerous festivals. Recreational facilities are in abundance, including numerous first-class gyms, swimming, tennis, paddle and sailing at Brighton Marina. There are also a range of respected state and private schools locally.
Wrought iron railings showcase the front of the property leading to the panelled front door, accessing the entrance hall complete with the original ceiling mouldings and oak flooring. The bay-fronted sitting room is light and enchanting with tall sash windows and a marble fireplace with inset log burner. Folding double doors open on to the kitchen with handmade bespoke units and views over the landscaped rear garden. To the rear of the property is a cloakroom/W.C. and a useful utility area. Arranged over four floors, the lower ground floor is currently utilised as a one bed annexe, complete with its own private external access. The lower staircase is still in place, so the property remains highly configurable as one complete townhouse. Across the upper floors are three double bedrooms, a well-appointed family bathroom, including a generous principal bedroom complemented by a stunning wrought iron balcony with glimpses of the sea. Outside, the landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide a series of private outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed throughout the day. Flint walls and carefully defined seating areas create a tranquil and secluded setting.
