Description

This charming semi-detached home, built in the 1930s, presents an appealing opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with future potential. Nestled within a desirable area of Brighton, it combines attractive period features with contemporary living. Although it has been recently renovated to a high standard, there remains significant opportunity for further enhancement, such as extending the living space or converting the loft, subject to planning permission. Upon entering, you'll find a welcoming hallway that leads into a spacious living room featuring a classic working fireplace and bespoke alcove furniture. Beyond this is a spacious open-plan kitchen-diner—a versatile area perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. Additionally, the ground floor includes a convenient WC and utility room that provides direct access to the ample garden space. Upstairs reveals three well-proportioned bedrooms, including one that currently serves as an office space, and all offer lovely woodland views. The family bathroom has been tastefully upgraded with both shower-bath facilities and substantial storage options. The outdoor space boasts a generous rear garden (approximately 60ft), ideal for relaxation or gardening pursuits, along with ample parking on the large driveway and additional storage potential in the detached garage. The property is surrounded by tranquil woodland walks, near Stanmer Park and the South Downs Way while still being conveniently connected to Brighton city centre via regular bus routes. This property stands out not only for its serene location but also for its impressive potential for further investment.
