This beautifully renovated Edwardian detached home combines period charm with modern convenience (electric car charging point and intelligent digital heating) including a separate two-bedroom coach house with private access from a secluded rear road. The property has been sympathetically updated, offering a versatile and stylish living environment.

Main House
The house is set back from the road with a paved driveway and charming front garden. You enter through a porch adorned with leaded light windows, which opens into an impressive entrance hall featuring a window seat, a stunning fireplace, and elegant wood flooring. A guest cloakroom is discreetly tucked away, while a utility room is located nearby.

The main living spaces flow beautifully, offering a formal lounge at the front of the house. Light streams through the bay window, complementing the charm of the open fireplace. The snug, a cozy retreat with a wood-burning stove, is conveniently located next to the dining area and kitchen. The period-style kitchen, fitted with solid oak cabinetry, opens out to a dining space with bi-fold doors that lead to a BBQ terrace. This outdoor area is perfect for alfresco dining and provides a stunning spot to enjoy summer sunsets. The house also boasts a recently decorated cellar, now a versatile games room ideal for family entertainment.

As you ascend the staircase, illuminated by a solid oak banister, you are greeted by a bright first-floor landing. The principal bedroom, bathed in natural light, boasts far-reaching west-facing views from its private terrace and a luxurious ensuite with twin sinks and a walk-in shower. A family bathroom serves the other bedrooms on this floor, all spacious and beautifully presented. On the second floor, the former attic rooms, originally designed for servants, have been transformed into two large bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The landing is flooded with light from a grand picture window, adding to the sense of space.

The 100 ft garden itself is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature shrubs and benefiting from a sunny west-facing position. There are ample areas for outdoor seating, making it a delightful space for relaxing or entertaining. The games room/cellar opens out directly to the garden via an under terrace area currently used for table tennis, enhancing its role as a family-friendly area with great versatility of use.

Coach House
At the rear of the property, behind secure fencing and with security lighting, lies the converted two-bedroom coach house. With its own utilities, council tax registration, and private off-street parking accessed via what the residents lovingly call Blackberry Lane, this self-contained unit offers a kitchen-diner that leads into a cozy lounge. Upstairs, two peaceful double bedrooms and a modern bathroom room complete the space.

The Coach House also provides potential as a home office, treatment room, or additional accommodation for guests or family members. However it is currently operating as a successful Airbnb investment, https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/38739432?check_in=2025-01-07&check_out=2025-01-12&guests=1&adults=4&s=67&unique_share_id=a58943e7-9f5f-4680-ad7e-ec63eec5f860

Location
The property is located on the desirable Surrenden Road in the leafy and green Preston Park area of Brighton. It offers the perfect balance of tranquility and connectivity, with Preston Park station just 900 meters away, providing direct trains to London Victoria and London Bridge in under an hour. The nearby park is ideal for families, offering a children’s playground, tea rooms, rose garden, and tennis courts. For education, the area is home to some of the finest private schools, including Brighton College, Roedean, and Hurstpierpoint College. In addition, there are several strong state and primary schools within the catchment area not to mention the highly regarded BHASVIC sixth form college.

Note: My sellers are willing, subject to circumstances, to separate the properties and put them onto different titles if the Coach House wasn’t required.
