Knight & Knoxley are proud to bring to market this superb double-fronted family home in Beaconsfield Villas which has been designed and fully renovated to the highest specification by our own in-house team. The house has elegantly proportioned reception rooms with period features including ornate cornice and original panelling and five beautiful and generously proportioned bedrooms with a master bedroom at the top of the house which has an ensuite bathroom.
You enter the property into the central hall from where there are reception rooms to either side. The heart of this home is the extraordinary contemporary kitchen which is situated overlooking the delightful garden. The kitchen has an Italian quartz worktop over shaker style units with integral appliances, all by Bosch, including an induction hob, electric oven, a microwave combination oven, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. The sink is in a brushed brass effect and the floor is tiled with elegant polished natural stone which is echoed in the wall tiles. There are bi-fold doors to the garden with bespoke aluminium frames in anthracite. The beautiful garden has mature trees including an apple tree, and has been levelled and landscaped, with drainage and a timed irrigation system installed. There are raised beds, a lawn and a stone patio area closest to the house.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a family room which in turn leads to the front reception room with a bay window and an outlook over the front garden. All the wooden windows in the house are new, handmade and hand-painted, sash conservation windows with double glazing. The reception rooms have engineered wood flooring with a new generation matte lacquer to give a natural wood finish. Victorian style column radiators have been installed in keeping with the period of the property. On the other side of the house are two further reception rooms which have been opened up to create one space, while retaining the sense of the two original rooms. There is another bay window at the front of this room, and at the back, there are double doors that open to the garden. The ground floor also has a cloakroom to the rear of the main entrance hall with a WC and wash basin.
Climbing the stairs to the half landing, you come to the main family bathroom. A double-ended freestanding bath with a brushed brass mixer tap and hand-held shower is the centrepiece. This is a lovely spacious room with a separate shower including both a waterfall and a handheld shower head. The floor is in polished natural stone. The first floor has four fantastic large bedrooms off a central landing. One further flight of stairs brings you to the top of the house where there is a light and airy master bedroom with wooden engineered floors and roof lights. The spacious ensuite has both a bath and a separate shower. The house has been wired with built-in wi-fi senders on each level and entertainment points in the bedrooms. A dual zone Nest controls the central heating.
Beaconsfield Villas is located in the Preston Park conservation area, a hugely popular part of Brighton, especially for families, who are drawn here by excellent primary and secondary schools. Downs Infant and Junior schools, Stanford Infants and Juniors and Balfour Primary school are all within easy walking distance of the house, as are the excellent secondary schools, Dorothy Stringer and Varndean. There is also a sixth-form college at Varndean, so all ages are catered for. Preston Park, which is on your doorstep, is a fantastic recreational space, with two cafés and a children’s playground, as well as grass areas and gardens, a velodrome and tennis courts. Blakers Park, only a short walk away is a popular park too, with a café and a playground. Saturday morning Florence Road Market is on your doorstep and the Florence Road Café on weekdays serves coffee and sells fresh bread and veg boxes. On Preston Drove there are many local amenities including shops, cafés, and the Park View pub. The local gastro-pub, the Preston Park Tavern, is just around the corner. Fiveways at the top of Preston Drove has more independent shops, and a local co-op supermarket. It is only a short stroll to Brighton's famous Duke of York’s Picture House at Preston Circus which shows a wide variety of films throughout the week. London Road station, Brighton Station and Preston Park station are all within walking distance. Buses into the city centre run along Beaconsfield Villas.
