Tucked away in the exclusive Preston Village just a stroll from the sports facilities, playground and café of Preston Park this area has a top spot in the Sunday Times Best Places to Live Guide, and it is ideal for professionals and families with local shops, cafes and a bistro pub at the bottom of the lane but out of hearing, and a choice of good primary schools, both state and private a 3-4 minute drive and secondary schools within walking distance.

Light and inviting this elegant home has an easy, social flow from the generous, double depth reception with a period fireplace to the contemporary kitchen and conservatory/utility room which opens to the garden.

Well-connected with bus routes into or out of the city, it is on a quiet, one way lane with permit parking between the London Road and Dyke Road, which both deliver you into the heart of the city and its beaches, or to Devil’s Dyke or to the A23/A27 in minutes.

Why you’ll like it:
Preston Park is known for its relaxed vibe and artistic community and the Village is just a 5 minute stroll from the lush acres- and sports facilities - of Preston Park, which also hosts events during our legendary festivals including Pride. Although within the tranquil enclave of the historic Preston Village everything you need is on the doorstep, including a Local Sainsbury’s.

In immaculate condition and ready to move into, this charming Victorian terraced house is set back from a quiet one way lane with permit parking in a zone where there is no waiting list - and its worth noting that some neighbours have Velux in their roofline, stnc…Inside, beautiful period proportions remain unspoilt and blending style with practicality, the hallway has useful under stair storage.

On the right, two rooms have become one to create an inviting living/dining room with plantation shutters lining the broad, east bay at the front and a glazed door at the back to bring the outside in. All about enjoying friends and family with 7.64 x 3.38m (25’1 x 1’'1) for sofas and a large dining table, guests can relax and enjoy the graceful proportions, garden views and the fabulous fireplace which has custom made cabinets and glass shelving on each side.

Along the hallway, at the heart of the home the contemporary kitchen is level with all the ground floor rooms and the garden – a feature hard to find in a city built on hills. Bright and cheerful, the layout flows well with a practical finish and everything to hand from the central gas hob, and the oven is at eye level to prevent awkward lifting. Perfect for family time or for celebrations, it leads to a vaulted conservatory which opens to the pretty garden, and which also has space for a breakfast table and plumbing for utility machines.

Sunny and secure, the garden is an oasis of calm, open to the east and west, and larger than many so close to the city, the station and the sea. Paved and pebbled it is child and pet friendly behind walls and fashionable fencing, and its easy care maintenance is coupled with plants chosen for all year interest.

At the top of the stairs, a light and airy bathroom is a stylish retreat, large enough for both a bath and a separate walk in shower with glass shelving above the hand basin. Up a few steps, the broad landing has a high ceiling and access to the attic – which some neighbours have extended into, stnc.

The first of the double bedrooms is quiet and comfortable with garden views, and its handsome fireplace has a wardrobe built in on one side. At the front of the house, spanning a restful 4.44 x 3.78m (14’7 x 12’5), the principal bedroom is a serene sanctuary with calm decoration, ample wardrobes to fill, soothing proportions and a handsome, wood fireplace.

Agent says:
“Homes in this small, sought after village with a spacious garden do not appear on the market often! If you want swift access to Gatwick, London or the coast, Preston Park Station is a pleasant walk and Brighton Station is 8 minutes by cab. If you drive to commute, you’ll be on the A23 or A27 in minutes and local bus routes will take you into the city and its beaches.”

Owner’s secret:
“This is a lovely, sociable house with charming period character and an easy flow into the garden. Quiet at night, we love the way the house opens up in summer with plenty of space to entertain outside but then becomes warm and cosy in winter and it is perfect if you are a couple or a growing family with parks, good schools and shops all within easy reach. Preston Park is a great place to live with cafés and shops including a small Sainsbury’s and our neighbours are lovely.”

Where It Is:
Shops: 1 min walk to village shops and Sainsbury’s, Duke of Yorks & Preston Circus
Train Station: Preston Park Station 7 min walk, Brighton about 8 by cab
Seafront or Park: Park 3 mins walk, Sea about 10-15 min drive

7 mins walk to Preston Park Station with friendly local shops, cafés and bistro pubs in the Village, this area has a lovely community feel and the primary schools, state and private, are good and nearby. Tucked away from the crowds who flock to our famous coastal city, this period house is between Dyke Road’s Park with tennis courts, open air theatre, playground and café, and Preston Park’s velodrome, sports facilities, fun runs and football clubs. Local bus routes go along both Dyke Road and London Road to the South Downs National Park or the beach, and you can get to the whole of the city including the world class shopping, fashionable bars, lively arts venues and international restaurants of Brighton’s 7 Dials and Queen’s Road, and Hove’s Church Road easily. If you commute by car, both the A23 and A27 are easy to reach.
