Guide price £500,000 - £550,000. Well-presented three-bed home in Kemp Town with bright open-plan living, private courtyard garden, and no onward chain. Close to Queen’s Park, local schools, and shops. Ready to move into.

The property

Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Kemp Town, this well-presented three-bedroom terraced house is ideally positioned close to local amenities, excellent schools, and the green open space of Queen’s Park.

The house has a simple, neutrally painted exterior, standing in subtle contrast to the more colourful homes on the street. Step inside and you’re welcomed into a hallway that leads to the principal bedroom at the front of the house. Generously sized and finished in calming tones, it features a striking exposed brick fireplace wall that adds warmth and character, along with plenty of space for storage. Also on the ground floor is the family bathroom, complete with a bath and shower overhead.

Upstairs, you’ll find two further good-sized bedrooms, both with built-in storage and pretty feature fireplaces. The landing offers enough room to create a handy workspace—perfect for working from home or homework time. There’s also a boarded loft above, providing valuable extra storage.

The lower ground floor is the real heart of the home—a spacious, open-plan kitchen and living area filled with natural light from both front and rear aspects. The kitchen features beige shaker-style units, stone quartz worktops, and Heritage Limestone flooring that runs throughout. The sitting area is centred around another exposed brick fireplace, and there's plenty of space for sofas and a dining table.

A door opens out to a private courtyard garden—ideal for al fresco dining or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee. A rear gate offers practical access for bikes or bins.
