Description

This charming terraced house is situated on one of Kemp Town’s most picturesque tree-lined streets, offering a blend of character and practicality ideal for family living. The property features well-proportioned accommodation spread over three floors, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a spacious open-plan living and dining area, perfect for both family gatherings and entertaining guests. The cozy sitting area, centered around a wood-burning stove, flows seamlessly into the bespoke fitted kitchen, which boasts freshly painted cabinetry and ample storage. French doors provide direct access to the west-facing garden, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience during the warmer months. The garden itself is a private courtyard-style retreat enclosed by original brick walls, basking in sunlight and presenting an opportunity for new owners to create their perfect outdoor space. A family bathroom completes the ground floor, while the first floor hosts two generous double bedrooms, including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes. The top floor offers a delightful third bedroom, characterized by an exposed chimney breast and Velux window that fills the space with natural light. There is significant potential for improvement and extension, subject to planning permissions, allowing for reconfiguration to better suit modern family needs. The location is exceptional, with Kemp Town seafront and Brighton Marina just a short stroll away, providing easy access to local cafés, restaurants, and parks. This property represents a unique opportunity to acquire a characterful family home in a highly desirable community-focused area.
