An exciting opportunity to extend a charming 1930s Dutch-gabled family home in an exclusive, leafy part of Brighton. Wayland Avenue is ideally situated near Dyke Road, providing easy access to the motorway, and is just a mile’s walk from Preston Park train station.
Upon entering through a welcoming porch, a wraparound hallway leads to the separate dining room, living room, and kitchen, with the option of a ground-floor bedroom. A cloakroom completes the ground floor. The characterful living room retains its original parquet flooring, and French doors open onto the garden. The spacious kitchen, currently fitted with ample storage and white cabinetry, offers a versatile layout with opportunities for further modernisation.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Plans have already been drawn up for an extension at this level – see details here (BH2023/03377).
Outside, a large and beautifully maintained garden extends to the rear, offering a private space with a substantial lawn, mature borders, and a path framed by ornamental grasses and shrubbery. Behind the olive trees in sleeper-lined planters, you’ll find a modern one-bedroom annex, ideal as a home office or guest quarters, complete with a gravel frontage for low-maintenance living.
This bright and airy property is set on a fantastic plot, offering a brilliant opportunity to create a forever home.
Wayland Avenue is conveniently located near several excellent schools, including Westdene Primary, Brighton & Hove Bilingual Primary School, Lancing Prep, and Windlesham Primary School. For secondary education, nearby options include Varndean, Dorothy Stringer, Brighton College, and Brighton & Hove High School. Roedean, Lancing College, and BHASVIC are also within easy reach for post-GCSE education. The property is situated in Parking Zone 12 and falls under Council Tax Band F.
