2 bed property for sale

Shanklin Road, Brighton BN2

Hamlyn Smith are delighted to present this two-bedroom maisonette, arranged over the ground and first floors of a period building in Shanklin Road. With its own private front door, the layout feels more like a small house, and the property also has a west-facing roof terrace, which provides valuable outdoor space. There is a large loft with a Velux window, offering excellent storage or potential.

The front entrance opens into a welcoming hallway with engineered oak floors that continue into the living room at the front of the house. This attractive space features a square bay fitted with white café-style shutters, neutral décor and elegant coving that extends around the bay.

Adjacent to the living room, the kitchen/breakfast room is both practical and stylish, fitted with cream shaker-style cabinets and a solid oak counter. Integrated appliances include a Bosch electric fan oven with grill and a Zanussi four-burner gas hob with extractor hood and stainless steel splashback. There is space for a washing machine and a full-height fridge freezer. The Vaillant combination boiler is located in the kitchen, and the property has double-glazed windows.

The bathroom is at the rear of the ground floor and is fitted with a white suite including a traditional Savoy handbasin with upstand and a towel radiator. There is a thermostatic shower over the bath with both waterfall and handheld shower heads.

Climbing the stairs, a half-landing leads directly to the west-facing roof terrace. The roof and decking have been recently renewed and the terrace is finished with a contemporary glass balustrade. On the top floor of the property, there are two good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the width of the front of the property and features a square bay window. The second bedroom is also a double and has west-facing views.

Shanklin Road is a peaceful residential street within the Elm Grove community, tucked away off Hartington Road. Transport connections are excellent, with frequent bus services on nearby Lewes Road and quick access to the A27 by car. Central Brighton is within easy reach – less than a 30-minute walk – and the area benefits from a wide range of local shops and amenities, including a large Sainsbury’s.
