Description

This four-bedroom end-of-terrace home offers substantial potential for renovation and value enhancement, situated conveniently close to the vibrant city centre. Historically a popular rental option due to its proximity to Brighton and Sussex University campuses, this property is also ideal for professionals attracted by excellent transport links into Brighton City Centre and beyond. Nestled in the family-friendly suburb of Hollingdean, this residence benefits from a strong sense of community fostered by nearby schools. Perched on one of Brighton's iconic hills, it boasts captivating views towards the South Downs and the sea, highlighting the perfect blend of urban and natural landscapes. The property reflects classic 1950s architecture with clean lines and ample space. The entrance hall greets you with room for coats, leading into a first reception area that overlooks the garden and provides plenty of room for furnishings. A second reception room at the rear (currently utilized as bedroom four) has potential to function as a dining area adjacent to the kitchen. The ground floor layout allows for creative reconfigurations; combining spaces could easily transform it into an open-plan living area or an inviting family kitchen diner. The existing kitchen maintains functionality with basic cabinetry and space for standard appliances but presents an opportunity for modernization which could significantly increase value. Accessed through this space is a garden area featuring both a patio suitable for outdoor dining and a raised lawn that awaits landscaping enhancements. On the upper level, three additional bedrooms benefit from natural light and urban views, while a straightforwardly designed bathroom includes essential amenities. With minor updates, this property can become an attractive family home or stay on as an investment. The surrounding area caters well to everyday needs with local shops within reach. Public transport options are plentiful, including buses running directly into central Brighton every 15 minutes. Whether you're seeking a vibrant rental opportunity or aiming to create your dream family residence, this property invites you to explore its full potential.
