Light and spacious, this luxury 3 bed house with a sunny, landscaped garden which backs on to school playing fields blends sophisticated, contemporary design with elegant, period grace. Within a tranquil terrace of Victorian houses within walking distance of good schools, the al fresco lifestyle of Fiveways, the playground of Preston Park and a station with direct trains to Gatwick and London (a 5 min drive), you can see why this location has a top spot in the Sunday Times Best Places to Live Guide! Quietly tucked away, inside has been sensitively extended and improved to create a beautiful home with 119.5m2 (1286 sq. Ft.) of spacious rooms to enjoy. The ground floor has been opened to create an inviting space where the living/dining room has an open fireplace and a wood burning stove, and there’s an easy flow to a fabulous kitchen/diner with bi-folding doors to a private oasis of calm. Upstairs, a luxury bathroom is a stylish refuge and all three double bedrooms are beautifully decorated and unusually, none are directly overlooked.
Within walking distance of popular primary and secondary schools as well as the village style shops (and small supermarkets) of both Preston Village and Fiveways, homes in this golden triangle where the sea, the city centre and the South Downs are easy to reach do not come onto the market often- and appeal to professionals, families, and international investors.

Why you’ll like it:
Tucked away on a friendly street with access to Dorothy Stringer Secondary School a few doors down and popular Balfour Primary a stroll, this box bay fronted house with tiled gables, double glazed windows and a formal front garden has instant appeal. In a quiet but convenient location with plentiful permit parking and grocers, cafes and bistro pubs around the corner, this is a popular area of the city with bus routes into or out of Brighton and Preston Park Station with direct access to Gatwick and London is 10-15 minutes on foot – or 5 by cab.
Expert design starts in the hallway where a calm colour choice instantly soothes and floorboards, stripped back to their original blonde lead into the inviting living dining room for a fuss free flow. On a hill and with no building directly in front and school grounds at the back, uninterrupted sunshine streams into the whole space through the south broad box bay and far window which frames the garden. You can also see along the depth of the kitchen where the far wall of glass folds away to the dynamic landscaping of the garden, which becomes another ‘room’ of the house during summer.
Stretching a generous 8.16 x 3.7m (26’9 x 12’2) approx. There’s plenty of space in the living dining room to enjoy and Cole & Son wallpaper pulls the two spaces together. There’s an open period fireplace in the welcoming seating area and a wood burning stove where guests can dine in warm seclusion.
Stepping down to the stylish kitchen where fashionable matt units deliver plenty of organised storage and family friendly, wood surfaces, it’s good to go with an integrated dishwasher and washing machine, designated space for a tall fridge freezer and the Smeg multi-fuel range could stay, subject to circumstance. Hidden away, the Vaillant eco-boiler is still under a 10 year guarantee.
Backing on to acres of school grounds, this garden is a peaceful sanctuary in the evenings and at weekends. Sunny and secure it is a sociable retreat, larger than many this close to the city and the sea and screened form the open fields behind by school owned fences. Skilfully landscaped, a spacious breakfast terrace is by the house which rises to a larger tier ideal for al fresco entertaining. Surrounded by gardens and birdsong it is easy to forget just how close to the city centre you are, and a gate leads to a communal gated path to the street, so bikes don’t have to come into the house.
Returning inside, at the top of the stairs the luxury bathroom has space to spare as the w.c. Is in its own room next door – ideal in a busy household. Recently remodelled it is right on trend with a dual head shower above the bath, a vanity unit under the handbasin and designer tiling. Tucked behind the door, a cupboard has space for both a washing machine and a dryer.
All about relaxing in a quiet, verdant setting, the first of the double bedrooms is blissfully quiet at night as well as private, with a wonderful view looking over the garden to the school fields behind where a wildlife garden is being created complete with a pond.
At the front of the house, the principal bedroom spans a serene 4.66 x 4.34m (15’3 x 14’3) in which to unwind. Light and airy with a broad bay to bring in the morning sunshine and restful, open views, custom built wardrobes reach the ceiling – which is high- and offer all the storage you could dream of, although there is room for more in this charming refuge.
Up at the top, meticulous commitment to good design and comfort continues in the guest room which stretches from front to back with a Velux at each end. Bright and cheerful with 4.16 x 3.95m (13’8 x 13’0) to play with, it could double as a home office with large boarded loft storage running the length of the house, and the far reaching views are a delight.
Agent’s thoughts:
“Families stay in this popular location until their children have grown up and moved on, which makes homes in these quiet terraces unusually close to the schools difficult to find, and this special house is good to go with fabulous interior design, sociable layout and stunning garden.”
Owner’s secret:
“Family life is easy with parks, good schools and friendly shops and cafés all within easy reach, and with both the primary school and secondary school close by there’s a great community in the surrounding streets (we have street parties and a WhatsApp group). We fell in love with the light that streams through the house and its welcoming, big rooms, and we wanted to create an elegant but easy flow to the garden, which we love! Although it faces north, the house is on a hill and with open land behind and no overlooking buildings at the front, we get sun all day; both the garden and house are a wonderful space to unwind and socialise, surrounded by nature as the garden backs onto the school wildlife area. We had fun planning our home which we wanted to be stylish but comfortable. The location is perfect as it is quiet yet convenient for all Brighton has to offer, and we hope that you will enjoy living here as much as we have.”
