3 bedroom House for sale

Guide price £550,000-£575,000

Washington Street is located in the sought-after Hanover area - known for its wonderful sense of community and independent shops, cafes and pubs that are dotted around. The Level, at the bottom of the hill is home to a playground, family-friendly café and skate park and the vibrant Open Market and the North Laine just beyond. Brighton station is under a mile’s walk for all those commuters. For those with young children, there are two excellent primary schools nearby and the house is within the Varndean and Dorothy Stringer catchment areas.

The property itself has been tastefully refurbished from top to bottom by the current owners during the last five years. This includes the loft extension with ensuite shower room. The versatile layout provides the option for more reception space than most Hanover properties and the large through lounge diner on the ground floor is the first room off the entrance hallway. Beautifully presented, and very bright with east/west aspect. The owners have a log burner fitted, engineered wooden flooring and plantation shutters. With room for a lounge area and large dining space, the room offers a good social family area at the centre of the home. As with the rest of the property, good quality double glazing has been fitted contributing to the impressive C energy rating on the EPC.

Downstairs you have the stunning kitchen dining room, fitted out with sleek handleless, contemporary, off white units, wooden work top and beautiful patterned flooring tiles. There is an integrated dishwasher, butler sink and space for a large gas range cooker. Off the kitchen is some useful additional storage and utility space. The family bathroom is spacious and is a lovely blend of Victorian bathroom fittings and contemporary style. White suite with shower over bath, high cistern toilet and large heated towel rail.

On the first floor are two bedrooms. The largest is to the front of the property overlooking the beautiful flint walled church. There is space for ample storage and again, benefits from fitted plantation shutters. The flooring is white wood effect laminate flooring and with the walls decorated white there is crisp, fresh feel to this room. The room to the rear, currently a child’s bedroom, overlooks the garden. Light grey decoration compliments the light laminate flooring here. The converted loft room on the top floor is the cherry on the cake. A Soundhouse conversion, meaning the work has been finished to a high standard. Oversized windows to the rear, allow huge amounts of light through and the ensuite provides a toilet and shower. This room, as with the rest of the house, is presented beautifully and comes with good-sized built-in storage. Used by the current owners as an office and spare room, this would also make a fantastic principle bedroom for anyone with a larger family or needing more bedrooms.

The garden is a fantastic space and being protected from the wind makes it a real sun trap. The wisteria covered pergola offers some shade on the hottest days with a lovely bench to relax with friends and family. Raised planted borders give a feeling of a secluded tropical garden with the neighbouring palms overhead. The front of the house oozes curb appeal and this is a must view for any would be Hanover residents.

What the owner says:

"We've loved this house from the first time we saw it: it took us less than five minutes to decide we wanted to live here!

We loved it as it was but looking back at pictures from then, the house is almost unrecognisable from all the improvements we've made. It's been a journey turning it into our family home and we will be very sad to leave.

The Hanover area of Brighton is truly unique; a short walk into the city and to the beach, but also a proper community. Whatever you are looking for it's only a quick stroll away; excellent nurseries, and primary schools, independent cafes and five of the best pubs in Brighton, all within a five minute walk.

We are going to miss summer afternoons in the garden under the wisteria-covered pergola, and cosy winter nights in front of the log burner. Plus of course, the neighbours who make the street so special. If things were different we would have happily stayed here forever but it's time for us to move on. We hope you love it as much as we do."
