why you’ll like itWith generous proportions, period features and the luxury of energy efficient windows, this Edwardian house on the edge of Queen’s Park has generous space both insideand out and the popular local schools include St Luke’s Primary – opposite- and Brighton College. Nearby, Queen’s Park has a playground, tennis courts, pond and a café,the beach is a a stroll and both central Brighton and the station are easy to reach.

Freshly painted, this gabled home is set back from the street by an impressively planted garden, so is immediately appealing, and inside doesn’t disappoint with an invitinghallway looking through the house to the garden. To the right, the elegant living room is full of sunshine streaming in through the broad bay as there’s no buildingopposite, just the playground of one of the best primary schools in Brighton. A stylish wood burner is in a period fireplace with a glistening black quartz hearth and there areshelves and cupboards to each side. Gleaming wood is underfoot, a delicate cornice is above you and designer paper adds a subtle touch of luxury.

Next door, the private study with beautiful Morris and Co wallpaper is large enough to be flexible of use – as a second reception or playroom, for example, and has anoriginal pair of doors opening into the broad side return and a wood burner, so light and airy in summer, in winter it becomes a cosy, welcoming space, and you couldknock through, if you wanted.

Past discreet storage and guest cloakroom, the assured design continues in the fabulous kitchen diner. The far wall folds completely open to bring the garden in and adelicious blend of black, white and glass units have steel plinths and cutting edge maia surfaces. The Smeg range, beneath a sculptural extractor, could stay, subject tocircumstance, the dishwasher is integrated and there is plumbing in place for a washing machine. There is also space for a tall fridge freezer and an extra, under counterfridge, and two levels of lighting let you set your mood.

Outside, the garden is paved with the same slate as the kitchen as it becomes a room of the house when the sun shines, and has been imaginatively planted for both colourand ease of maintenance.

Returning inside, up beneath a sky light, making the upper floor of this home unusually bright, the first of the double bedrooms has a fitted wardrobe and garden views.Next door, the contemporary bathroom has natural light and a double ended bath with a rainfall shower above and ingenious storage below it.

Upstairs, the second quiet bedroom is ready to move into with a period fireplace, fitted wardrobe and garden views. At the front, the spacious bedroom spans the width ofthe building and is full of character with dinosaur paper and cupboards on each side of a period fireplace and the broad bay and sash window have open views across theschool grounds, so it is quieter than many in the evenings and at weekends.

Also peaceful at the top of the house, the master bedroom has a chic en suite shower room, good headroom, a wardrobe of reclaimed wood and, as well as two velux in theroof, tall French doors open to a Juliette balcony ideal for resting elbows with a romantic night cap or morning tea. Perfect!
