Eldred Avenue, Brighton, BN1 5EB

The house sits well back from the road, behind a generous front garden. A winding path leads up to the front door, and there's a driveway and garage for parking.

It's a detached family house that has been fully renovated and thoughtfully extended to create a spacious and versatile home. New graphite-coloured windows throughout complement the exterior and, internally, the property combines original character features with high-quality contemporary finishes and a stylish, modern colour-scheme. Original period features have been kept alongside modern fittings, such as LAN cabling to all rooms.

The wide, welcoming entrance hall gives a clear line of sight through to the rear of the house, where the heart of the home is the delightful triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, designed with both modern family life and entertaining in mind. It has a central island, Corian worktops, a tiled floor with underfloor heating, and doors out to the garden. Next to it is a good-sized utility room.

The kitchen opens into a charming dining area with a unique stained-glass cabinet and a feature bare brick wall. Glazed double doors open onto the family TV room making the space sociable but with each room retaining its clearly defined use. On the other side of the house is the sitting room, which runs from front to back. It has a wooden floor, built-in speaker wiring, fitted shelves, and French doors onto the terrace. There's also a study and two downstairs toilets on the ground floor. To the side of the house is a substantial timber workshop, providing excellent space for home working, creative pursuits or use as a studio.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The split-level principal suite is also accessed here, with a door opening onto a generous dressing area with built-in wardrobes, a stylish bathroom and stairs rising to the principal bedroom within the converted loft space; a private retreat away with views to the treetops.

Outside

The generous paved terrace bordered by flint filled gabion walls is ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto the beautifully landscaped rear garden with its pretty, waterlily topped pond with a wooden bridge leading across it.

Exceptionally private and surrounded by mature trees, the garden has two lawned areas and includes a variety of apple trees, established soft fruit bushes, productive asparagus and rhubarb beds, a greenhouse, potting shed and a charming summerhouse all with electrical supply.
