Description

***Guide Price £420,000 - £430,000***

A beautiful maisonette in a superb central location on Stanley Road, moments from Preston Circus. Arranged over the raised ground and first floors of a Victorian terraced house, this characterful property has its own private street entrance and offers the layout and feel of a small house.

Steps lead up to the front door, which opens into a traditional hallway with decorative corbels on either side of the arch framing the staircase. To the right is a bright reception room with a bay window made up of three original sash windows, complete with stripped wooden panelling beneath. The chimney breast has been exposed to brickwork and the original floorboards have been exposed, adding warmth and texture. This room has a designer radiator and there are more throughout the property.

Next door, the kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the rear gardens. This well-proportioned room has ample space for a table and chairs and is fitted with sleek black cabinetry, a mosaic tile splashback, and painted floorboards. The sink is positioned beneath the window, and appliances include a De Dietrich four-burner gas hob with a Samsung electric fan oven below. There is space for a washing machine and slimline dishwasher.

The bathroom is generously sized and includes a double-ended bath with central taps and a waterfall shower above. A square basin is set on a wooden vanity unit with storage beneath.

A striking turquoise-painted staircase turns up to the first floor, passing a window at the half-landing which fills the stairwell and upper hall with natural light. On the top floor are two double bedrooms. The main bedroom spans the full width of the house - over four metres -and has a bay window to the front. The second bedroom, also a comfortable double, has a built-in wardrobe beside the chimney breast.

Stanley Road is perfectly placed for enjoying Brighton life, just around the corner from The Duke of York's Picturehouse and a short walk to the Open Market, known for its independent traders, artists' studios, and street food stalls. Nearby pubs and restaurants include the Signalman, Open House, The Joker, The Hare and Hounds, The World's End, and The Roundhill. Brighton Mainline station is within easy walking distance, offering direct services to London in under an hour. London Road station is even closer, with connections to Lewes and the east. There are also frequent bus routes into the city centre, and both Downs Infant and Junior schools are about ten minutes on foot. Preston Park is nearby with its open green space, tennis courts, velodrome, and two popular cafés.
