4 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Braeside Avenue, Brighton, BN1

This four-bedroom semi-detached family home has been tastefully updated and extended, offering versatile accommodation across three floors. It’s set within a quiet residential area and backing directly onto woodland.

Upon entry, residents are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall with room for shoes and coats, along with a convenient W/C tucked beneath the stairs. To the right, the secluded lounge offers an ideal space to relax and unwind as a family, centred around an ornamental fireplace surround, with a half box-bay window that floods the room with natural light.

A separate utility room provides ample storage and space for bulky white goods, along with a built-in Samsung freezer and a dual sink with Italian quartz worktops matching the kitchen. It also houses a modern combi boiler and pressurised water tank - ensuring strong water pressure across all three floors - as well as a water softener unit treating all mains water into the home.

Towards the rear, the open-plan kitchen and family room is a standout feature of the home, boasting large 3.6m bifold doors with self-cleaning glass and integral custom privacy blinds, opening onto a generous natural granite patio and the landscaped rear garden. A large, motorised skylight with automatic climate control and rain sensors adds further light and ventilation, complemented by dual-zone underfloor heating throughout the space. The kitchen itself is exceptionally well-equipped, featuring ample handleless wall and base units, LED under-unit and counter lighting, a breakfast bar, and luxury-grade BQS Avenza Italian quartz worktops. A full range of integrated Bosch appliances completes the high-spec finish.

The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, each enjoying attractive outlooks - one to the front with broad, uninterrupted views across the Ladies Mile Nature Reserve, and one to the rear overlooking quiet, private woodland. A third, comfortable single bedroom doubles perfectly as a home office. All bedrooms and staircases are fitted with natural wool carpets, lending warmth and continuity throughout the upper floors. They are served by a plush, fully-tiled family bathroom featuring a p-shaped bath with overhead shower, dual heated towel rails, a vanity mirror with integrated lighting, and a sink unit with under-basin storage and all the expected essentials.

The second floor is home to the principal bedroom, boasting luxury bespoke storage, ample eaves space, and high-spec bedside lighting controls that create a boutique hotel-suite feel. Stunning double-aspect views are enjoyed through twin Velux windows at the front and a large picture window at the rear, with the room serviced by a sleek, fully-tiled off-suite shower room.

Externally, the thoughtful design continues with a landscaped garden that creates an inviting space for both relaxation and entertaining. A striking modern extension, clad in Western Red Cedar with an LED-lit overhang, adds a stylish touch to the rear of the home. Immediately beyond, a large area of granite paving offers ample space for outdoor dining, with room for a table, chairs, and barbecue. A top-of-class 42mm artificial lawn sits on a free-draining granite base, ensuring excellent drainage and hygiene - ideal for children or pets. A fun putting green adds enjoyment for all ages. Hot and cold outdoor taps provide convenience for cleaning or filling paddling pools. The garden is amply lit across four separate LED zones, while a timber shed is linked to the house via armoured electric cable and houses its own fuse board - offering future-proofed services for additional outbuildings or a garden office (STNC). A private gated access - framed by seasonal bluebells - leads directly to woodland walks, with access to the Ladies Mile Nature Reserve and South Downs National Park, a valuable feature for dog walkers, parents, and hikers alike.

Throughout the entire home, the level of finish is exceptional - far beyond what’s typically seen in the area. Every upgrade has been carefully chosen with long-term living in mind, not resale value. The current owners set out to create the best possible family home. From the high-spec fixtures and bespoke details to the thoughtful layout and premium materials, the result is a rare opportunity to secure a property that truly stands apart - designed and finished with care, comfort, and quality at its core.

To the front, there is off road parking for two vehicles as well as a shared drive providing side access.

The perfect family home and one not to be missed!
