4 bed terraced house for sale

Widdicombe Way, Brighton BN2

On the market for the first time in many years, this well-presented four bedroom home offers a fantastic opportunity for both investors and owner occupiers. Once a much-loved family home, it has more recently been run as a successful HMO achieving £2,600 per month.

Positioned on a quiet residential street in Higher Bevendean, the road features a friendly mix of family homes and properties occupied by students/young professionals. The house is approached via a smart grey frontage with a raised, easy-to-maintain front garden. Steps lead down to the front door where you enter a spacious hallway. At the front is a bright, well-proportioned living room with a large bay window. This room was previously opened to the adjoining bedroom to create a generous living and dining space across the full length of the house, and could be reinstated with ease if desired.

The separate modern kitchen sits at the rear, enjoying views over the garden. It offers plenty of storage and workspace, and a door opens directly outside. Steps lead down to a paved area and further down to a lawn bordered by two useful sheds. The garden is private, well cared for and benefits from access to the front of the property.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to the loft (which is boarded and offers potential for conversion subject to planning permission), the family bathroom and three bedrooms. The bathroom is a generous size, fitted with a bath and shower over. The principal bedroom overlooks the front while the second double bedroom at the rear enjoys garden views and features fitted storage. A third bedroom completes this floor, ideal for a children’s room, work-from-home space, or guest room.
