SELLER INSIGHT - "When we first saw the property we were amazed by the square footage in such a great location. Admittedly the house needed completely renovating but we could see the potential. We aren't overlooked, which is rare for a garden in this area and we love the views across the city. Before employing an architect we lived in the house unmodernised to work out the flow as a modern home. The location could not be better, 10 minutes' walk from Brighton station and 10 minutes' walk to the seafront, city centre or North Laines. The Seven Dials area, on your doorstep, has all you need for everyday life; shops, restaurants, bakeries and great pubs. The second sitting room, in addition to the open plan area, makes it easy to entertain large groups. In the summer we have guests most weekends. The separate lower ground floor entrance makes a great boot room, useful for buggies or dogs after lovely walks in the South Downs National Park which is 10 minutes away by car."

Its neutral colour scheme lends a calm and peaceful feel, while modern French doors open onto a Juliet balcony offering views across the city. A WC completes the ground floor. GARDEN LEVEL - Creating a contemporary yet sympathetic twist to this period home, the open plan garden level with its poured resin floor adds an instant wow factor that's hard to ignore. Complementing the main reception room with its bay windows, a large sitting room area offers bespoke built-in seating that provides plenty of discreet storage, while a classic wood burner sits within the wide chimney breast. Engendering a highly sociable feel, this spacious floor features a sleek central kitchen area that combines rich marble countertops and a wealth of softly closing latte toned cabinets. Wellappointed with an array of integrated Bosch
appliances and an under-mounted Franke sink; an eye-catching cylindrical extractor sits over the range gas hob of a large kitchen island that effortlessly delineates this impressive open plan space. Adding to the sense of space, double doors open onto a large utility room that offers plenty of discreet space for laundry appliances within its tall grey cabinets and is well-equipped with a butler sink and spray tap.

Perfect for those with dogs and offering plenty of space to store buggies, this garden level floor benefits from its own street entrance. FIRST FLOOR - Complementing the soft blue shades of the walls, a classic striped runner leads the way up the staircase to the first floor where three generously sized double bedrooms offer ideal family accommodation and plenty of dual space potential. A sultry grey colour scheme lends a stylish backdrop to the master bedroom with its picture perfect fireplace and tall sash bay windows. White wood wardrobes nestle within the chimney breast alcoves, while a traditional column radiator lends a sympathetic finishing touch. Equally well-presented, the period features continue in the adjacent double bedroom where a feature yellow striped wall adds a tasteful splash of colour, while a third bedroom looks out onto the attractive landscaped garden from its sash window.
