Nestled in amongst 400 years of architectural history sits this charming Edwardian terraced house in Preston Village. It has three generous double bedrooms; a smaller single room/office, and an immaculate and stylish interior, where much of the character and original period features have been retained then blended with contemporary colours and design. It also has a sweet and sunny walled garden with space for dining alfresco, becoming a lovely extension of the home during the summer.

The city centre and beach are just 4 minutes by train and the transport links are excellent on nearby Preston Road, but there is also plenty to entertain you with Preston Park and Preston Circus nearby. You get the best of both worlds here being well-connected yet peacefully positioned in the city, so this property will be coveted by many.

Why you’ll like it:
Preston Village is a Conservation Area due to its historic mix of properties, dating back to the 17th Century. This Edwardian house sits at the bottom of a quiet one-way street and is one of three gabled terraced houses with smart red brick exteriors and deep bay windows. It is clear from outside that this house has been expertly maintained, and it does not disappoint when you step foot through the door.

Wood flooring greets you in the living room which flows through the depth of the house to meet the kitchen and dining room at the rear. Facing south at the front, natural light streams in through the bay window, while a wealth of glazing to the rear frames views of the pretty walled garden. A period fireplace has been retained within the sitting room where there is ample space for comfortable furnishings to cosy up of an evening.

The dining area sits conveniently alongside the open plan kitchen which is visually separated by a slate tiled floor. With the feel of a professional kitchen, stainless-steel features heavily within the splashbacks, cooker and door fronts but is softened by oak surfaces and white cabinetry offering plenty of kitchen storage. While the cooker is integrated, space has been left for a dishwasher and a tall fridge freezer.

The garden is a private sanctuary during summer with tall stone walls festooned with climbing greenery which brings shape and colour to the space. A second seating area catches the summer sunshine throughout the day in the dappled shade of a tree, and the entire space is tiled for low maintenance. Two large storage spaces are particularly useful as utility rooms or simply for storing bikes etc which can be brought round from the back via a gate leading to North Road, rather than trailing them through the immaculate house.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a dedicated home office – the perfect spot for remote working in peace and quiet. Looking out over the garden, this tranquil room is versatile and could also work well as a nursery or child’s bedroom, conveniently located close to the principal bedroom across the landing. The principal room spans the front of the house, beautifully presented with soothing colours on the walls and a period fireplace adding decorative character. They share use of the family bathroom at the end of the hall which has a shower over the enclosed bath and a contemporary basin inlaid to a wooden topped vanity unit.

Up on the second floor, the third bedroom is another spacious double with a sleeping area below the eaves and a full height Velux window facing south, looking out over the treetops of the local leafy landscape. Tranquillity reigns up here, away from the hubbub of family life, ideal for weekend lie-ins and star gazing as you drift off to sleep.

Agent’s thoughts:
Beautifully presented and deceptively spacious, this house is ready for families or professionals to move straight into. Transport links, schools and its park side location will certainly appeal, so we don’t expect it to sit on the market for long.

Owners’ thoughts:
“For commuters, the location is perfect, and there is a fantastic community here with a real mix of families and professionals of all ages. For anyone making the move from London, this house couldn’t be better. It is the ideal place to raise children, and you remain really well connected to the city too. We can walk to the North Laine in 20 minutes, or hop in the train to Brighton which takes only 4 minutes – plus there are some lovely gastropubs nearby so we never need to travel too far.”
