Description

This property presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with significant potential for enhancement. Nestled in a charming tree-lined street, the house has been cherished by the same family for many years and previously operated as a licensed HMO. While it requires updating, the layout is spacious and functional, featuring two generous reception rooms and a kitchen that opens to a lower patio and leads up to an expansive 60 ft rear garden. The first floor accommodates two well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a shower room and separate WC. A third bedroom spans the entire width of the house on the second floor, allowing ample space for reconfiguration. This location is particularly advantageous for commuters, being within easy reach of Brighton Mainline station and London Road Station as well as local amenities including bars, restaurants, and independent cinemas. Many neighboring properties have successfully extended their homes through side returns or dormer additions (subject to necessary permissions), suggesting excellent scope for future development. With an EPC rating of D-58 and an internal area of 108 square meters, this residence could be transformed with thoughtful renovations into a splendid family home or investment.
