Description

Located in the picturesque Westdene area of Brighton, this property offers a fantastic opportunity for renovation and enhancement. Windmill Drive is a well-regarded residential street, close to quality schools and just a short distance from Preston Park Station, which provides direct northbound links to London. Everyday amenities are easily accessible in Patcham Village.

This detached home, built around 1954, features a double-fronted design with generous living space that holds significant potential for improvement. Upon entry, you are greeted by an inviting hallway that leads to a spacious kitchen/breakfast room on one side and a bright lounge on the other. The lounge boasts access to a south-facing balcony, perfect for enjoying the sun.

The rear of the property comprises three bedrooms along with a bathroom and separate WC, all of which could benefit from modern updates. Notably, there's an extensive loft space accessible via a pull-down ladder, providing excellent potential for creating additional living areas (subject to planning permissions).

Outside, the home benefits from a private driveway leading to a single garage and side access to the mature rear garden that backs onto Coney Hill, offering even more scope for landscaping or extensions.
