Description
DNG Bray are extremely proud to present to the market 3 Sidmonton Avenue,
This delightful double fronted villa style family home forms part of an attractive terrace of Victorian houses dating from circa 1858-1860. Rich in period character, the terrace is finished in a combination of plain and dry dash render with moulded surrounds to the openings. The elegant panelled front door, complete with fanlight, is set within a distinctive segmental-arched opening. Set slightly back from the road behind low rendered walls and wrought-iron gates, the terrace enjoys a timeless and characterful streetscape.
Thoughtfully and sympathetically refurbished and extended in 2020, this exceptional property combines original Victorian detailing with contemporary design and carefully considered modern living. Located just minutes' walk from the seafront, the property offers elegant interiors, superb natural light and a wonderfully private south-west facing rear garden.
Behind its attractive façade lies a home full of warmth and character, where original features blend effortlessly with high-quality finishes. To the left and overlooking the front garden is a formal yet cosy living room boasting original flooring, original sash windows with original shutters and modern plantation shutters, ornate cast iron radiators and impressive 11ft ceilings, enhancing both light and scale. A striking cast iron fireplace with Hobbit solid fuel stove creates a natural focal point, while bespoke cabinetry provides excellent display and storage solutions.
To the rear, the property opens into a truly wonderful open-plan kitchen, dining and living area designed for contemporary family life and entertaining. Extended and redesigned in 2020, this light-filled space enjoys a pleasant outlook to a beautifully designed low maintenance south-west facing patio garden. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with quartz worktops with an attractive cork splashback, modern wall and floor units and integrated appliances, while the MicroCement polished concrete flooring with underfloor heating adds comfort and refinement. An oak panelled ceiling introduces warmth and texture, complemented by cleverly concealed storage behind rolling doors. Large bifolding doors open to create a seamless connection between the interior and garden, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to flow naturally together. A guest cloakroom is discreetly positioned off the kitchen.
To the right is a walk-in wardrobe/closet area with excellent shelved and hanging storage. An additional shower room, complete with a Crittall-style door and decorative plaster finish, provides further convenience. Stairs lead from here to a cleverly designed mezzanine level. Currently arranged as a third bedroom but equally suited to a home office or study, it offers excellent flexibility. Two Velux windows and solid oak flooring ensure the area feels bright and inviting.
An attractive staircase made from recycled wood leads upstairs, where the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail continues. The two spacious double bedrooms retain their Victorian character through solid oak flooring, original fireplaces with tiled hearths, plantation shutters and ornate cast iron radiators. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a freestanding oval bath, walk-in rainfall shower, brass fittings, bespoke wooden shelving with WHB unit and elegant tiling.
An original cast iron gate opens into a private front garden where a tiled pathway and granite steps lead to the welcoming hall door. Positioned behind mature hedging and an original boundary wall, a secluded and sheltered gravelled area creates the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, while enjoying pleasant views down Sidmonton Avenue towards the sea. A generous outdoor storage unit offers excellent space for bicycles and additional storage.
To the rear, the beautifully landscaped garden has been thoughtfully designed as a tranquil low-maintenance retreat. Composite decking creates an ideal entertaining space, complemented by a remote-control awning with integrated lighting for evening use. Raised beds filled with mature shrubs and trees, including a striking Chinese rice paper plant, jasmine and ferns, provide rich texture and greenery against an attractive willow trellis backdrop. Built-in seating with concealed storage further enhances both the practicality and comfort of this inviting outdoor space. The property further boasts 5 x 500w solar panels just installed and an energy efficient and green mortgage compliant B3 BER rating
