Eldred Avenue, Brighton

Eldred Avenue is a quiet residential road in the heart of the Westdene community. With good local schools and nearby parks, it is a popular area with families wanting more space. This mid-century house has been in the same family since it was bought new in 1952; it is now in need of modernisation and also presents exciting opportunities to extend, as the neighbours have already done. The garden is a great size and backs onto land owned and protected by the Sussex Wildlife Trust, which means there is a lovely outlook at the back and mature trees at the bottom of the garden.

On the ground floor there is a spacious entrance hall from where you can directly access both the living room and the kitchen. The well-proportioned living room has windows overlooking the front garden which is set back a little from the road. There is a door through to the dining room, which overlooks the garden, and is also adjacent to the kitchen. From the kitchen there is access to a small conservatory area and then steps down to the garden. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom, all accessed off a spacious landing. The loft has been insulated and part boarded, has electrics and a pull-down ladder. The house is double glazed throughout, with triple glazing on the north-facing windows at the side of the house. Parking outside the property is unrestricted and there is a shared driveway, leading to a garage at the side of the house.

Families in this area have a great range of schools close by, with Westdene Primary, Patcham Infants and Patcham Juniors all within walking distance, while you will also be in catchment for Patcham High School. Withdean Park is a great place for families to relax and is home to the national collection of lilacs with over 320 varieties which flower in the spring putting on an extraordinary display. Withdean stadium, which is moments from the house, has superb sporting facilities and is home to three athletics clubs. There are also tennis courts, squash courts, and a gym. Just down the road from the house on Eldred Avenue there is a parade of local shops which includes a post office, convenience store, pharmacy, coffee shop, hairdresser, butcher, and a Chinese takeaway. Commuters can quickly access the A27 and A23 and Preston Park station is only a few minutes away by car, and there are multiple bus stops within easy reach which allows traveling around the city and further afield.
