A well-proportioned Victorian mid-terrace offering 1,400 sqft of living space in a popular Portslade location. The house blends original period features — bay windows, high ceilings and Victorian tiles — with practical modern comforts such as double glazing, mains gas central heating and underfloor heating in the conservatory.
Ground-floor layout suits family life: a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room (currently used as a home office but could be a fourth bedroom), and a bright kitchen/breakfast room that flows into a conservatory overlooking the south-facing garden. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom with separate W/C and a part-boarded loft for additional storage.
Location is a key strength: 0.2 miles from Portslade mainline station, excellent local shops at the end of the road, and several good schools within a ten-minute walk. The south-facing rear garden and rear alley access add practical outdoor appeal for families.
Be upfront about renovation needs: the original solid-brick external walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency upgrades would improve running costs. The plot is small and the area records higher local crime rates, which some buyers will want to factor into security plans. Overall, this freehold home suits buyers seeking character, space and strong transport links who are prepared to invest in insulation and minor modernisation.
