Charming Victorian semi-detached Home in a central location. Discover this beautifully maintained bay-fronted Victorian semi-detached house, perfectly positioned in a central and convenient address, just a short walk of the shops and town centre. Enhanced by modern updates, this property features a west-facing landscaped garden, ideal for relaxation and entertaining. Modern enhancements with character, the current owners have thoughtfully improved the home, adding a stylish glazed garden room accessible from the dining room, and a versatile garden home office with power and lighting, perfect for crafting, home working, or a gym. Additionally, the house benefits from an 11-panel solar installation, complete with battery storage and grid-exporting capabilities, offering eco-friendly energy solutions. With ample parking and characterful interiors, the house is approached via a wide gravel driveway off Sussex Road, offering ample parking in front of a larger than average garage. Step inside to a welcoming hallway that leads to a cozy sitting room with a charming cast-iron fireplace and a bay window that floods the space with natural light. A second doorway connects to the dining room, which features another fireplace, natural oak flooring, and double doors opening into the bright, fully glazed garden room with direct garden access. At the rear of the hallway, past the staircase, is a well-lit recess with a window and access to the galley-style kitchen. Finished in cream and duck egg blue cabinets, the kitchen boasts tiled splashbacks and granite-effect countertops. Adjacent to the kitchen, a rear hall offers additional storage and utility space, complete with plumbing for a washing machine and a door to the garden. A modern downstairs shower room with WC completes the ground floor layout. The first floor hosts two double bedrooms, a third box bedroom currently set up as a study, and a spacious family bathroom. The bathroom is beautifully appointed with a stand-alone bath, a separate shower, and WC. Outside, the west-facing rear garden is thoughtfully landscaped with a variety of trees and shrubs, including an apple tree, liquid amber, Judas tree, and Himalayan birch. If a new owner wanted to clear these for an expansive lawn, this could easily be done. Gravel and bark pathways create distinct zones for relaxation and leisure. At the garden's end, the timber built office cabin has double doors with properly installed electricity and lighting. Situated just a short stroll from the main shopping parade on South Road, the property offers easy access to a wide range of retailers, cafes, and specialist shops. Families will appreciate the proximity to local primary schools, a secondary school, and a sixth-form college, all within walking distance.

For drivers, the A23 connecting London and Brighton is only 5 miles to the west, while Brighton is a mere 35-minute drive south. A perfect blend of tradition and modern living, this home offers a harmonious balance of Victorian charm and contemporary conveniences, making it ideal for families, professionals, or those seeking a serene yet central lifestyle.
