Detached house for sale in Allingham Place, Brighton BN2

Before you step over the threshold, please do take a moment to inspect the attention to detail, from the oak joinery at the front porch, beautifully tile hung elevations, to the lead flashing of the windows.

You probably won’t buy a house based on these attributes only. However, the flow and design of the interiors with equal attention probably will. The main family area is to the rear of the house, enjoying views over the gardens through the bi-fold doors. It provides a very stylish kitchen with high end appliances integrated, a lounge area, and thanks to a dual aspect you can position you dining table perfectly to appreciate the natural light that cascades in. You also have a formal drawing room for entertaining, which has a dual aspect extending the full length of the house, plus a separate study which could be used as a playroom or occasional bedroom.

At The Drawing Board we have often queried the cookie cutter design of standard homes. Why make one small bedroom and why share a bathroom?

The design of Palmeira answers the question. With the creation of equally generous sized bedrooms, all with their own en-suites makes so much sense for young and growing families. The “grown-ups” still have a superior area and for an added layer of luxury a sumptuous, spa like bathroom and a dressing room. The gardens embrace the bilateral contours of the area which provides an interesting dimension of which to embrace landscaped gardens and outside entertainment. This includes an Indian Sandstone patio area plus a hot and cold mixer tap, to wash off your boots and dog after you have enjoyed the countryside. You have two separate off street parking spaces, with one leading to the garage which has an automated steel sectional garage door with quarry tiled floor along with electrical sockets and an electric car charging point .
