What the owner says:
“We fell in love with this house the moment we saw it. It immediately felt like home and, for us, it ticked every box. The location is truly special, the house is situated on a beautiful, tree-lined road that is wide, quiet and peaceful, without being used as a rat run. It has retained a lovely, friendly, family-oriented feel, with many of the original houses still intact rather than having been converted into flats. There is a wonderful sense of community, family and neighbourliness. The house is perfectly placed for enjoying everything Brighton has to offer. The town centre and the beach are both within walking distance, while Blakers Park and Preston Park are just moments away, making it particularly wonderful for dog walking and enjoying green space. It is between two lovely local pubs, The Cleveland and Preston Park Tavern, both of which have a warm, welcoming atmosphere and serve great food.

The house is beautiful. The layout is perfect with a long view from the front door to the back of the garden, the house feels spacious. Having a flat garden in hilly Brighton is a dream and that it leads out form the kitchen is one of the things that drew me to it. We opened up the living and dining rooms, creating a lovely large, light-filled space with another door leading directly onto the garden. Interestingly, when we removed the dividing wall, we discovered a note from a previous owner explaining when the wall had been put up, it seems to have gone up and down a few times over the years! There are so many beautiful original features that make the house special. I fell in love the with the beautiful curved banister and the stained glass in the front door.

I love the front garden and the railings and that the house is set way back from the pavement. The two main bedrooms are large and spacious, I particularly love the bay in the front bedroom/studio which is flooded with beautiful natural light. In fact, the light throughout the house is one of its greatest qualities. We have loved living here and have loved this house and neighbourhood enormously. It is a very special place, and we are genuinely very sad to leave what has felt like our perfect home.“
