Located in a sought-after residential enclave, moments from Brighton city centre this fabulous duplex maisonette is beautifully presented throughout. Occupying the upper floors of this handsome period house the property benefits from its own private entrance, south-facing garden and period features. Having been refurbished to a high standard throughout by the current owners the property benefits from a custom-built kitchen, landscaped south-facing garden and raised deck area. Newly fitted boiler, newly decorated throughout, new bathroom and scope to extend into the roof area (subject to necessary consents, see attached architect's plans/drawings). A fabulous home that offers all the benefits of a house for the price of an apartment.
As you approach, the property creates a welcoming first impression. A pretty silver birch tree stands just to one side of the frontage, and steps lead up to a smart front door. As you enter the house, you find yourself in the hallway, which is decorated in a deep blue, with wooden floors. If you look up, you will notice the original corbels on either side of the hallway. To your left is a dual-aspect living/dining room, with the living area at the front of the house, arranged around the fireplace, with a bay window, and the dining area at the rear, with a window overlooking the gardens. This room is beautifully presented in soft contemporary colours, with gorgeous floors. The room is bright and welcoming, with soft light coming from the north, through the bay window, and a sunny southerly aspect in the dining room. The kitchen does not disappoint. Shaker-style dark blue cabinets have brass handles and are topped with a solid wood counter. A deep, white, enamel, Belfast sink has a brass, swan-neck tap. The washing machine and dishwasher are integrated and there is an electric hob and fan oven. From the kitchen, a door opens to a decked balcony from where there are steps down to the garden. The balcony is a sun-trap; facing south and from its elevated position, it gets the sunshine from morning to evening and is an irresistible spot to step out onto for a break at any time of the day. Down the steps, the garden has been decked and surrounded with raised planters, which are home to a variety of established shrubs, including climbing plants.
Upstairs are two very good size double bedrooms. The main bedroom is at the front of the house with a bay window. The bathroom is immaculately presented like the rest of the house, with a thermostatic shower over the bath, brushed brass fittings, a WC with a concealed cistern and a modern, oval hand basin set on a storage cabinet. The towel rail and shower screen are in matte black. The central heating and hot water are supplied by an Ideal combination boiler. It would be hard not to fall in love with this home, if you are looking for two bedrooms and a garden, you have found somewhere you could move straight in and not have to change a thing.
Stanley Road is in a sought-after residential enclave, only moments from Preston Circus and the much-loved Brighton cinema, The Duke of York's Picture House, which screens a fantastic variety of films throughout the week. A short stroll down London Road will bring you to the vibrant Open Market which is home to independent shops, artist's studios and plaza traders with stalls selling handmade arts and crafts, delicious food and much more. There are great local pubs and restaurants including the Hare & Hounds, Joker, Open House, Signal Man, Preston Park Tavern and the Roundhill, all close by. The Roundhill is notable as it has an entirely vegan kitchen serving award-winning plant-based meals and all these local pubs serve food so you will be spoilt for choice. Public transport links are exceptional. Brighton Mainline station is a short walk away with direct services to London Bridge and Victoria, which arrive in London in less than an hour. Even closer is London Road station with services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes take you straight into town, including the 5, 5A and 5B.
