Inwood Crescent, Brighton, BN1

**Guide Price ?400,000-?425,000**

Beautifully presented and deceptively spacious, this two-bedroom upper floor maisonette offers versatile living space for small families and professionals alike. Formed from the first and second floors of a Victorian terraced house, it bears many original period features and boasts incredible views over the city to the South Downs from its hillside position. It also benefits from sole access to a sweet walled garden facing west, so it receives plenty of afternoon sunshine and has space for dining alfresco, becoming a wonderful extension of the home during summer.

It sits in the hugely popular area between Dyke Road and Preston Village, just minutes from Preston Park Station for commuters, or the A23/A27 for those who travel by car. The city centre is within easy walking distance, as are several popular parks and schools, and the South Downs National Park is just a short drive up the hill. Elevated slightly from the street, the homes of Inwood Crescent face east with the morning sun shining on their decorative facades. They are hugely attractive properties, bearing the architectural features of the Victorian era.

From the communal hallway on the ground floor, the door to this flat opens to and internal stairwell rising to a galleried landing on the first floor, adding to the feeling of space. It is clearly a well-maintained home with stripped wood doors, fawn carpets and a contemporary palette on the walls. At the end of the landing, the living room is particularly spacious with ample room for formal dining and relaxation on relaxed furnishings to cosy up on in winter by the open period fireplace. It is naturally light with three tall sash windows framing views over the local landscape which only improve the further up the house you go.

Passing the immaculate bathroom with a shower over a full bath suite, the kitchen sits to the rear of the building with direct access to the garden. It is a well-appointed space with plenty of storage and space for a freestanding fridge, cooker, dishwasher and washing machine, which may be available by separate negotiation. You could also allow a small kitchen table and chairs for informal dining occasions. Outside, the garden is perfectly low maintenance with a decked walkway leading to a dining area below the boughs of a gracious eucalyptus tree. The original brick walls have been retained, and the westerly aspect ensures it is a lovely place to sit outside in the last of the summer sunshine. Returning inside, stairs rise to the second floor where there are two charming double bedrooms. The principal room is larger with a wall of built-in wardrobes and exceptional views across the rooflines and treetops of the city to the east towards the rolling hills of the South Downs. These views are ever-changing with the seasons and are a joy to wake up to each day.

Vendor s Comments: This has been a wonderful home for me as I have really enjoyed making the space my own. The rooms are so light and spacious and the views were always a joy to look out to while working. The location is amazing for commuters and there is plenty to enjoy within easy walking distance as The Dyke pub is at the top if the road and Seven Dials is just 10-minutes away.
