\rThe village is known for its friendly community and al fresco lifestyle and this terraced, Victorian charmer is quietly located between Eastern Road and the Coast Road, which both deliver you into or out of the city within minutes. In immaculate condition and ready to move into, is set back from a quiet road with plentiful permit parking in a zone where there is no waiting list.
Inside, beautiful period proportions remain unspoilt and blending style with practicality, the hallway has an under stair cupboard and a chic w.c. for guests discreetly tucked away.

On the right, two rooms have become one to create an inviting living/dining room with tall windows lining the broad, south bay at the front and French doors at the back to bring the outside in. All about embracing friends and family with 8.21m x 3.74m (26’11 x 12’3) for sofas and a large dining table, guests can relax and enjoy the graceful proportions, patio views and the fabulous open fireplace which has custom made cabinets and shelving on each side.

Along the hallway, the contemporary kitchen opens to the patio, which becomes another room of the house during summer and it’s worth noting that all of the ground floor rooms are level with each other and the patio – a feature hard to find in a city built on hills. Bright and cheerful with the layout flows well with everything to hand from the central gas hob and electric cooker beneath a hood. Perfect for parties but also for family time there is a hatch through to the dining room and there’s plumbing in place for a dishwasher and a washing machine.

At the top of the stairs, a light and airy bathroom is large enough for both a bath and a separate walk in shower. There’s a shaving point by the Adelphi handbasin, and an airing cupboard just next door.

Up a few steps, the broad landing has a high ceiling and access to the attic via a fitted ladder. The attic has a Velux in the back roofline and is boarded.

The first of the double bedrooms shimmers in Laura Ashley paper. Quiet and comfortable there is plenty of space for furniture. At the front of the house, spanning a generous 5.03m x 4.59m (16’6 x 15’0), the principal bedroom is a serene sanctuary with calm but luxurious decoration, the soothing proportions only period properties can deliver and a handsome, marble fireplace.

Agent Says:
“This is a convenient, sought after area where beautiful historic properties just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and historic Lanes sell fast! Good to go with an immaculate finish this comfortable house is also just a stroll from the Colleges and the hospital with regular buses to the station.”

Owner’s secret:
“We have loved this house, the location couldn’t be better so close to the sea, the countryside and the city centre. Inside all the rooms are light and restful, and the patio really does become an extension of the house in summer as both the living/dining room and kitchen flow into it – and friends love to visit as we can easily collect them from the station and whilst here they can walk or bus everywhere. It is a great place to live with sociable parks nearby and a kind, supportive, local community, so you’ll meet people easily, and if you have children, local schools are good and easy to reach and there are friendly shops and cafés around the corner.”
