Elms Lea Avenue, Brighton

OVERVIEW Set in the beautiful tree lined road of Elms Lea Avenue this house is situated perfectly; it is amazingly quiet but also within easy reach of everything Brighton has to offer. The house needs some updating and subject to planning could also be extended to the side, the rear and into the loft to make it one the most impressive houses in the area.

Internally there are some superb features that can be kept but a bit of TLC will be required. There is a fabulous parquet flooring throughout downstairs, traditional wood panelling and some magnificent examples of stained glass throughout the house.

Entering on the ground floor into a spacious entrance hallway there is an instant homely feel about the house, and you can see how you could make it a home almost immediatley. This leads onto two large reception rooms, one to the front with a bay window and one to the rear with double doors onto the impressive garden. There is also an older kitchen, pantry and downstairs cloakroom as well as the old coal sheds, all space that shows what you could do with a bit of imagination. Finishing off the ground floor is an integral garage.

Moving upstairs via the impressive stairs and one of the largest stained-glass pieces seen in a house of this era is the extremely large first floor. There are four generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is also access into the loft from here which is shouting out to be extended (stnp).

As amazing as the internal space is the real feature here is the picturesque rear garden. This must be one of the brightest and best gardens in the area and is also private. It features a large lawned area and even if the house was extended you would still have loads of space for all the family.

LOCATION Elms Lea Avenue is situated in the sought-after Preston Park area within easy reach of Preston Park railway station (0.1 miles) with its excellent links to London and Gatwick. This detached house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a tranquil position.
