Why you’ll like it:
If you have a busy lifestyle this is the perfect retreat, tucked away in a well -connected, gated community in a great area with a laid back, social vibe. Architect designed with sophisticated energy management including solar panels to deliver a good BREEAM rating, the house has a fuss free flow where a spacious hallway has a cupboard with space to luggage drop, a generous w.c. For guests and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

Ahead, the sun-lit, L shaped living dining room and kitchen wrap around a southwest corner of glass to bring the outside in, where the west wall folds away so the patio becomes part of the room – but there are also electric blinds to shield the room from intense heat during high summer. There’s ample space for sofas and a dining table for entertaining as well as a sociable breakfast bar where friends can join you as you cook. A modern classic with streamlined units delivering sophisticated storage and plenty of practical working surfaces, the gas hob and electric oven are beneath a hood and a washer dryer is also integrated for you.

Outside, the patio is a private refuge full of sunshine and character with beams overhead for a vine or a sail, and built in seating incorporating raised beds. Paved and lit with room for a table and chairs it’s the ideal place for friends to gather before or after a day on the beach or a night in the city.

Upstairs, the first of the double bedrooms is a delight. Light and airy with fitted wardrobes ready to fill it spans the building from front to back with a window to the mews at one end whilst French doors lead to a sun drenched terrace with tree top views and open to the south there is a distant gleam of the sea between rooftops. Next door, the contemporary bathroom is a soothing sanctuary with a shower above the bath and immaculate finish.

Up beneath a skylight, the spacious principal bedroom is both private and peaceful beneath a Velux. The decoration is calm, there are black out blinds if you work nights at the hospital, the storage is well organised and the en-suite shower room is high end, so you won’t need to change a thing.

Agent says:
“Good to go, this luxury retreat with a stylish finish both inside and out is a great home or investment with the sea, parks and hospital only a few minutes away on foot and the city centre just a short drive.”

Owner’s secret:
“Warm in the winter but light and airy during summer, this house is always welcoming and it is also easy to maintain. Private and quiet inside, the parking makes life easy and it suits a busy lifestyle as the mews is secure. Although the setting is relaxing, my favourite place is the patio, there is easy access to all that Brighton has to offer -there is something for everyone- as well as almost 24hr transport links to the stations and airports.”
