Description

Available for the first time in over four decades, this three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment. Situated at the quieter end of Mackie Avenue, this home enjoys a prime location that balances tranquility with accessibility to Brighton’s vibrant city life. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway designed with practicality in mind, featuring storage solutions for shoes and coats. The expansive through lounge/dining room is a highlight of the property, characterized by its rounded bay window that invites an abundance of natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is equipped with substantial wall and base units, ample counter space, and designated areas for appliances. A door connects this area to a rear garden room or conservatory that adds potential as a peaceful retreat or additional living space. Upstairs, the layout includes two sizable double bedrooms alongside a single bedroom that offers flexibility for use as either a guest room or home office. These rooms are serviced by a partially tiled family bathroom that ensures everyday functionality. While the property currently requires some modernization, it remains entirely functional and provides significant scope for expansion or personal customization. Potential renovations could include transforming the loft space through a hip-to-gable conversion or adding a rear extension (subject to planning permission), allowing the new owners to realize their vision for an ideal family home. Externally, the rear garden serves as a serene escape with its paved patio leading onto a lush lawn surrounded by mature shrubs and trees—ideal for entertaining or quiet moments outdoors. The property also benefits from garage access via Eastwick Close, enhancing convenience. Located in the sought-after village of Patcham, Mackie Avenue strikes an excellent balance between suburban peace and urban connectivity. Commute easily with direct bus routes available on Braeside Avenue or take advantage of Preston Park mainline station just two miles away. Major roadways including the A23 and A27 facilitate smooth travel across Sussex and towards London. Local amenities are readily accessible—from a nearby convenience store on Mackie Avenue to larger supermarkets like Asda and M&S Foodhall on Carden Avenue. For those seeking charm, Patcham Old Village is within walking distance and features various coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and boutique stores. This property not only offers comfortable living but also promises considerable potential for transformation into your dream home while enjoying all the benefits of its prime location.
