2 bedroom Terraced House for sale

Guide price £500,000 - £525,000

Elm Grove is a tree-lined road of predominantly Victorian houses from which the Elm Grove area takes its name. Incredibly convenient for access to the city centre, but with its own strong community identity, the area is enduring popular and has a quintessentially Brighton feel. On Elm Grove itself, there are local cafés and shops, including The Flour Pot Bakery which sells fantastic bread, and serves delicious coffee and pastries. Just a little further down the hill, is Hilly Laine, an independent health food corner shop. The North Laine is only twenty minutes away for a wider range of independent shops and Brighton Station is also within walking distance. Families who want to be near parks and schools are spoilt for choice. Queen’s Park has a playground and a café, and The Level has a playground and a skate park. Elm Grove and St Lukes Primary schools are a short walk away and the house is in the catchment area for Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools.

The property is set back from the road and has space for bike storage in the front patio. As you enter the property you are struck by the charm and character. Stripped wooden flooring leads you into the opened-up dining area that is bathed in light from a large rear window. Decorated in a pastel green and white, there is a lovely feature fireplace and useful storage under the stairs. The lounge is located at the front of the property and is separate from the dining area and kitchen. Another original fireplace is the central focus of the room which is carpeted and decorated to a high standard. The windows at the front of the property are both double glazed. The fitted kitchen has sleek contemporary units, with integrated oven, hob and dishwasher. There are also some useful extra storage units. As you enter the garden, the current owners have made great use of the side return with an outside kitchen area and space for BBQ, which is ideal for entertaining. The main area of the garden is south facing and has recently had new decking laid. A mixture of planted borders, small trees and shrubs help make this a great spot to sit out and enjoy a sunny day.

Upstairs the bathroom is a good size with both double ended bathtub and a separate shower cubicle. It has a contemporary feel which is finished with white and green tiles and wooden flooring. Just off the landing, there is a separate toilet. The principal bedroom is located at the front of the property with plenty of wardrobe space. The second bedroom overlooks the garden and is also a good size double room. This room benefits from fitted storage which although houses the boiler offers additional space and like the rest of the upstairs is carpeted and decorated to a high standard.

What the owner says:

“For the last 5 years, our house on Elm Grove has been an outstanding family home - with the city centre only a 20 minute walk away and excellent schools within the area, it has provided us with an incredible base for busy family life. The house itself provides lots of space: having 2 double bedrooms, a separate dining room, plenty of loft space and a large bike-shed have all been real bonuses. The garden is a real sun trap and really feels like an additional room in the summer months.”
