Ditchling Rise is a residential street running uphill between Preston Road and Ditchling Road, close to Preston Circus. Lined by fine Victorian terraces and punctuated with horse chestnut trees, this road appeals to a variety of buyers as there are both family houses and smaller flats, with the city centre close by to the south and the open spaces of Preston Park and Blakers Park to the north. Downs Infant and Junior schools are close by, both rated outstanding by Ofsted, and the property is in the catchment area for the extremely popular Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools. The Duke of York's Picture House, moments away, is Brighton’s oldest and much-loved cinema. London Road and Baker Street are home to many popular cafés and restaurants and the Open Market has plaza traders, independent shops and artist’s studios. This area is renowned for its wide choice of pubs. Including the Open House and the Signalman just around the corner. Commuters to London benefit from the short walk to Brighton Mainline station, while London Road station has services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes take you straight into town. Preston Park has large open spaces, a children’s playground, tennis courts, and a velodrome.

The property itself is a spacious maisonette with a private garden. The entrance on the ground floor has stairs rising to the first floor, where the remainder of the accommodation is arranged over the top two floors of the house. The living room is a wonderfully light and spacious room with a south-facing bay window and an elegant fireplace. This room runs across the front of the property on the first floor and at nearly five metres wide, has ample space for a dining table and chairs separate from the seating area around the fireplace. At the back of the property, the kitchen has a door onto a covered balcony with steps down to the private garden. There is a spectacular view of London Road viaduct with its impressive red brick arches. There are three double bedrooms, one of which, on the first floor, is currently being used as a home office. On the top floor are the two remaining bedrooms and a shower room. The main bedroom is another south-facing room with a bay window and built-in wardrobes on either side of the chimney breast, while the final double bedroom has an outlook over the rear gardens.

The property is being sold with a share of the freehold.
