Cherry Cottage, 37 The Green, Brighton, BN42 4FY

Guide price: £750,000 – £800,000 Beautifully positioned directly opposite Southwick Green, Cherry Cottage is a charming and characterful home offering a wonderfully balanced combination of period appeal, contemporary living and generous outside space.

The property provides three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, one of which is ensuite, two reception rooms, a study and a fabulous private wraparound garden, together with off street parking.

Entering through the charming stained glass feature door, the home opens into the first of two reception rooms.

A large bay window looks directly across Southwick Green to the east, creating a wonderfully light and inviting space, while a gas fire provides a cosy focal point.

To the other side of the entrance is a spacious study, again benefiting from generous windows and extensive concealed storage.

The second reception room sits beyond and opens seamlessly onto the garden through full height sliding doors.

Designed to make the most of the connection between house and garden, this versatile room provides an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining, while an electric awning offers welcome shade during the warmer months.

To the rear, the contemporary kitchen and dining area has been thoughtfully designed by the current owners to maximise both the available space and the outlook.

Dark ink blue cabinetry is paired with crisp white worktops, while the dining area enjoys a fabulous garden outlook through a large picture window.

A door provide direct access to the wraparound garden, making this an especially sociable part of the home. A cleverly concealed WC beneath the stairs completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are three generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and benefits from its own smart ensuite shower room.

The remaining two bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, with the larger benefiting from generous built in wardrobes.

The impressive family bathroom is finished in calming natural tones and features both a freestanding bath and separate shower.

Velux windows flood the room with natural light and create a particularly tranquil setting, with the opportunity to unwind beneath the stars.

Stepping outside from either the lounge or kitchen, the fabulous wraparound garden is undoubtedly one of the home's defining features.

Enclosed by a substantial privet hedge, it has been thoughtfully arranged into two distinct areas, each offering its own character and purpose.

Immediately outside the lounge is an easily maintained astroturf lawn, centred around the mature cherry tree from which the house takes its name.

Providing year round interest, the tree brings delicate blossom in spring before taking on rich golden tones in autumn.

Around the corner, a private paved courtyard creates an intimate setting for alfresco dining and is conveniently connected to the kitchen. To the front, there is off street parking for one car.

Southwick Green is a charming and established residential setting centred around the picturesque village green, offering a peaceful village atmosphere while remaining exceptionally well connected.

The coast, Shoreham by Sea and Brighton are all within easy reach, making the area particularly appealing to both families and commuters.

A selection of local shops, cafés and everyday amenities are close by, while excellent transport connections and the surrounding countryside provide an enviable balance of convenience, community and tranquillity.
