On the first floor of an attractive end of terrace house this spacious apartment offers a large living room, light and airy bedrooms and a fully integrated kitchen. Painted in keeping with local tradition, outside is cheerful and the downstairs apartment shows what a friendly place it is as they have a bench at the front where they chat to neighbours, so you should get to meet people easily if you are new to the city.
Each apartment has its own, private entrance and the front door opens to a shoe friendly painted staircase leading up to a butterfly landing where the apartment extends across the full depth of this substantial building and as end of terrace, light streams through from three sides.
Heading towards the garden, the living room is ideal for entertaining with plenty of space to play with. Lined with windows it is bright and airy during summer, whilst in winter it transforms into a warm refuge when you can fully appreciate the wood burning stove. There’s an easy flow through to a kitchen diner skilfully designed to bring in the Sussex sunshine and which opens to the big sun deck and its scents of roses, jasmine and lilac. There’s a choice of space inside and outside to dine in comfort depending on the season.
Outside, the spacious sun deck has room for a table and chairs where guests can enjoy a vista which sweeps across a sea of gardens to the city, with the pod of the seafront i360 rising in the distance as a gentle reminder that the coast is not far away. When it gets too hot, sturdy steps take you down to a more sheltered garden, again with room for a table and chairs, suitable for BBQ’s with a slate filled centre and made private by mature trees which include a bay, an apple, a crab apple and the delicate foliage of an Acacia.
Returning inside, the first of the double bedrooms is a good size with an alcove for wardrobes and looking over the gardens of a terrace set at 90 degrees alongside, it is unusually private for this historic quarter. At the front of the home, the principal bedroom is a restful retreat with serene Victorian proportions, calm decoration, a broad bay and elegant coving. Next door, the contemporary bathroom has natural light, a shaped bath with a shower above it and warming rails for towels.
Agent says:
“Elm Grove is a friendly area full of young professionals and families with an unpretentious vibe and shops, cafes and bistro pubs just 5 minutes away – on foot. Tucked away from the crowds the Level, which hosts events in the arts festivals, open market and legendary North Laine are about a 15 minute walk and local buses take you to the universities or the beach within 20 minutes.”
Owner’s secret:
“We have the sun all day in the summer, and during winter we don’t need the heating as the wood burner keeps us cosy. The location suits a busy, city loving lifestyle, but you will return to peace and considerate neighbours. Friends love to meet here as there is plenty of room to entertain inside or out, there is easy parking and we can walk into the city, but it would be good for a family, too with a popular primary and park within walking distance.”
