The property
Located on a tranquil street in the heart of Brighton’s North Laine is this beautifully-presented Grade II listed family home. Recently renovated to a high standard, care has been taken to preserve and showcase its original features.
As you approach the property you’re met with a white-painted facade and black railings, in keeping with the rest of the street, and an inviting sage green front door with a smart entry pad system. Through the front door, there’s a beautiful hallway, with black and white chequerboard tiles, off which are the ground floor rooms. At the front of the property, there is a double bedroom with an original Victorian tiled fireplace, hardwood floors, and a sash window. At the back, a spacious second bedroom which overlooks the garden.
Soft grey carpeted stairs lead you upstairs to the first floor where you will find the principal bedroom and family bathroom. The bedroom is at the front of the house with a large window that overlooks the street. Painted in a soft green and with an ornate white feature fireplace, it is a relaxing place to rest after a long day. The bathroom has a built-in wardrobe and can be designed to suit ones style.
The lower ground floor is where you’ll find the open-plan living/dining room and galley kitchen. Wooden flooring spans the space and a neutral decor adds to the light and airy feel. There’s ample space for a sitting area, and a dining area and a cupboard under the stairs provide a practical storage space.
At the front of the house, a door leads out to the old coal store, which can be used as a bike store. Here, stairs provide access to the street. At the back of the house is a private patio garden with cobbled stone walls and plenty of space for a table and chairs.
This property is Freehold and the council tax band is C.
