Features and description

Blending period charm with an immaculate finish this fabulous, two bedroom cottage with a private patio is good to go as a home or for holidays. On a quiet, no through lane, it’s in a prime spot with the al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown Village around the corner, the County Hospital at the end of the adjacent street and it’s only a 3 min stroll to the beach. Inside the spacious living dining room impresses with a stately fireplace, oak flooring in the ground floor and French doors to an easy care patio which is perfect for parties. Designed with entertaining in mind, the classic kitchen is well planned and also opens to the patio, and there’s a discreet utility cupboard tucked away. Upstairs the luxury bathroom is large and light with a shower and a bath, and both bedrooms upstairs are stylish double rooms, the principal with custom made wardrobes and a period fireplace in the second.

A cottage by name but not by nature it is far bigger on the inside than its neat exterior suggests delivering 75.67m2 (814.50 sq. Ft.) of beautiful rooms and on a secret lane, it is far quieter than you may think despite its fashionable setting. Ideal for professionals who work in the city or at home, commuters, investors or even a small family, fresh, local produce is on the doorstep, local schools are good and a 25 min walk along the promenade leads to the famous Lanes whilst Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are about 10-15 mins by bus.

Why You’ll Like It:

Kemptown Village has an easy going, unpretentious vibe as well as amenities including a small Co-Op and a pharmacy, and it is bordered by the sea with beach bars, volleyball courts and a Lido to explore. Between the Pier and Marina you are hidden away from the main tourist trail and this secret no through terrace is in a prime spot, not only because of its proximity to the hospital but also as it is close to the public garden of St George’s Church which is a favourite for lunch in the sun and also hosts events during our arts festivals.

Inside this property has large windows, spacious rooms and high ceilings throughout which begin in the big, bright living dining room where 6.48 x 4.66m (21’3 x 15’3) of versatile floorspace is ready to work, rest or play. Painted in timeless hues with high grade oak flooring underfoot, sunshine streams through the south window at the front whilst at the far end French doors open to a lit, walled oasis of calm, ideal for al fresco dining.

Outside, the paved patio becomes an extension of the ground floor during summer – and it’s the ideal spot for friends to meet before walking into the village or along St James’s Street (which hosts Pride) to the city. A secluded refuge large enough for a table and chairs it is also level with the house – a feature surprisingly hard to find in a city built on the South Downs!

Returning inside and well planned for parties, the streamlined kitchen has a fabulous finish. A timeless classic which won’t date it is good to go with a central integrated gas hob and a Neff fan oven at eye level, and there is a cupboard at the far end which conceals plumbing for a washing machine.

Upstairs, you’ll feel like a VIP in a luxury bathroom which is big enough for both a bath and a separate walk in shower -and there’s a designer finish to the tiling.

Along the broad landing with access to the attic space, quiet at the back the first of the airy double bedrooms is inviting and with 3.21 x 2.96m (10’6 x 9’8) it is currently used as a comfortable home office. Next door and spanning a generous 4.64 x 3.14m (15’2 x 10’3) across the full width of the building at the front, you will live the dream in a majestic principal bedroom with beautiful proportions, calm decoration and a custom made fitted wardrobe on one side of the handsome period fireplace.<br /><br />Brighton & Hove is a go-to destination known for its beaches, arts festivals and international shopping – but also for its unique history, cosmopolitan cultural centre and warm, inclusive community. Surrounded by the South Downs National Park we attract professionals and families seeking fresh air, good schools and a vibrant lifestyle. Kemptown Village has a bohemian mix of cafés, shops, restaurants and even a farmer’s market, and it is bordered by the sea with beach bars, volleyball courts, crazy golf and a Lido to enjoy. Hosting the County Hospital and world famous Brighton College, local schools are good, our glamorous racecourse is nearby and it is within walking distance of the picturesque city centre and waterfront restaurants of the Marina, although there are local buses and parking permit zone H has no waiting list at the time of writing.
