Terraced house for sale in Upper Sudeley Street, Brighton, East Sussex BN2

In a chic, sought after area 2 blocks from the sea, this fabulous three bedroom house has a sunny patio garden to enjoy and a very rare, secure allocated parking space a few doors down. With double glazing, inside has a social flow and a retro finish – and if vintage is not your thing, these big, comfortable rooms give time to inspire ideas. An ideal home or a great rental it’s just 2 minutes’ walk from the fashionable al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown Village, 6 from Brighton College, and the County Hospital is at the top of the street. Welcoming as soon as you step in, the cheerful kitchen diner is ideal for entertaining, friends can relax in the spacious living room which has a gas fire and opens to the private patio, and there’s a ground floor w.c. For guests. Upstairs, the big, bright bathroom has a newly fashionable avocado suite and all three bedrooms are remarkably quiet– one of which could be a fabulous home office. The Village has plenty of amenities including a weekly farmer’s market, the area is well served for green spaces which hold events during our legendary festivals, a 15-20 minute stroll along the seafront will take you to the picturesque cultural heart of our famous coastal resort and Brighton’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are about 15 by bus or 7 by cab.

Kemptown Village has an easy going, unpretentious vibe and it is bordered by the sea where you can enjoy beach bars, volleyball courts, yoga and a heated Lido. Between the Pier and Marina you are hidden away from the main tourist trail and this terrace is prime, not only because of its proximity to the hospital but also as it is close to the public garden of St George’s Church which is a favourite for lunch in the sun and hosts refined events during our arts festivals. Outside, this loved C20th property is in keeping with its historic neighbours, tucked back from the road behind a front garden large enough to secure a bike – and although immaculately maintained throughout, it offers an increasingly rare opportunity for you to make it your own.
Inside, an inviting hall has a deep under stair cupboard for coats and bags and an airy w.c with a hand basin is hidden away. Ahead, the sun-lit living room is a delight in all weathers with a sleek, wall mounted gas fire. The far wall is lined with windows and floor to ceiling glazed doors which slide across to bring the outside in, and spanning the back of the building, there is ample room in which to unwind or to share with friends.
Outside, the east garden is level with the house, a feature hard to find in a city built on hills, and it is open to the south. Designed for relaxing, this charming oasis of calm has a large paved area, perfect for al fresco summers in the Sussex sunshine where raised beds to one side are planted with mature shrubs for all year interest, and the walls give privacy and also make it child and dog freindly.

Returning inside, at the front of the house the spacious kitchen diner is beautifully planned with space to welcome company either at the breakfast bar or a table by the front bay. A classic of its time, everything flows from the central, freestanding Zanussi touch induction oven beneath a hood, plumbing is in place for a washing machine, and there are designated spaces for a fridge and a freezer – and the good news is that the vendor is willing to discuss the white goods in situ, so you’ll have time to plan the kitchen of your dreams.

At the top of the stairs, the landing has an airing cupboard and an attic (and at the back some neighbours have Velux /dormers in their roofline). With garden views, the first of the double bedrooms is quiet and comfortable, and great for guests as it is next to the surprisingly large bathroom where the avocado suite includes a bidet. There’s a contemporary shower above the tub, and at least one of the refurbished homes in the same terrace has put in both a bath and a separate walk in shower. At the front, the second bedroom is a generous single, and with open views, it could also be a private home office.
Also at the front with a bay looking up a tree-lined street, the big, bright principal bedroom bathes in the afternoon and evening sun as it is not directly overlooked. Ready to move into with calm decoration and lots of space for wardrobes, time is on your side to create the bedroom of your dreams.<br /><br />With a laid back café culture, independent, specialist shops and a farmer’s market as well as a Co-Op, post office and chemist, Kemptown Village is one of the most sought after locations within our international coastal resort and is bordered by beaches which have seafront bars, a lido, saunas, yoga, volleyball courts, kayak club…. The hospital, law centres and Amex are nearby and the theatres and Lanes of central Brighton are all within a scenic stroll along the seafront or past the lively bars and restaurants of St James’ Street – which also hosts Pride. Buses into the city, along the coast and to the universities are nearby and the proximity to Brighton train station with its fast link to Gatwick and London makes commuting possible. For those who need a car, both the A23/27 and coast road are easy to reach and at the time of writing permit zone H has no waiting list.
