Applesham Way, Portslade, Brighton

This is a fantastic opportunity to buy a semi-detached bungalow right in the heart of Old Portslade, where you are close to the local shops and the No. 1 bus service into Brighton. The property is currently arranged as a one-bedroom house with a large ‘L’ shaped living room. When the current owner bought the property, there were two bedrooms, and it would be straightforward to reinstate the second bedroom if necessary. The living room would still be a good size even if this were done, and this room has a large window overlooking the front garden with an outlook to the west. The current bedroom is a large double with views over the garden. In the shower room, there is a white suite and a small window to the side of the house. Finally, the kitchen also has views of the garden from the window above the sink. There is an electric hob and a separate electric oven. There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine. A door from the kitchen leads out to a raised sun deck which faces east and is a lovely spot for a morning cuppa. Steps lead down to the garden which has a small summerhouse, a pond, and various separate areas for planting. To the side of the house, there is a shared driveway and a large shed. This house has double glazing throughout and had cavity wall insulation installed in 2010 which is still covered by the original 25-year guarantee. The central heating is run off a Vaillant boiler.

The house is at the top end of Applesham Way where you can cut through to the High Street. This means that in a couple of minutes, you can walk to Portslade Old Village where there is a post office and convenience store, a coffee shop, a fish and chip shop, a hairdresser, a dentist, and two local pubs, The Stag’s Head and the St George. The No. 1 bus runs from here all the way to Churchill Square in Brighton. At the other end of Applesham Way, the No. 2 bus runs along Old Shoreham Road towards Links Road from where Portslade train station is a five-minute walk. The A27 provides quick access for commuters and the large Sainsburys in West Hove is only a mile away. There are also green spaces close by including the village green and Easthill Park.
