This well-presented five-bedroom semi offers spacious, flexible family living across three floors, finished in a contemporary style while retaining period character. The extended ground floor centres on a 23ft kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted skylight, plus three separate reception rooms that suit formal dining, playroom and home working. Large windows and Veluxes deliver excellent natural light and standout views across the city to the South Downs.
Practical features include solar panels to reduce electricity bills, a modern family bathroom and a luxury principal en-suite, plus a private lawned rear garden and a suntrap front patio. The plot is a decent size for the area and there is clear potential to create off-street parking (subject to consents), a real plus near Hove Park and local schools. Preston Park station is within walking distance, making commuting straightforward.
Buyers should note a couple of material points: the house appears to have cavity walls without added insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so there may be scope to improve thermal performance. There are two bathrooms serving five double bedrooms, which could be a consideration for larger families or multi-occupancy use. Overall, this freehold home combines generous proportions, modern upgrades and attractive Downs views in a highly sought-after BN1 neighbourhood.
