Park Crescent, Brighton, £1.2million

PREPARE to be impressed by this magnificent family home with the direct access out onto magnificent grounds that are for the exclusive use of Park Crescent residents. Park Crescent was designed and built by Amon Henry Wilds, a genius in his field of producing outstanding properties in Brighton and Hove. Reminiscent of its pleasure gardens past, Park Crescent grounds, and number five in particular, incorporate lion statues over the huge gates and on the fireplace.

The terrace has been Grade II* listed by English Heritage for architectural and historical importance.

The impressive entrance hall has original wood flooring and a gloriously, wide staircase. To the left is the library with detailed cornicing, and superb period features. Two large sash windows allow light to flood the space and highlight the gold curtain pelmets.

This is one of the few residences on the crescent that has the luxury of a double reception room featuring a beautiful working fireplace. Leading out from here is an original balcony/veranda with canopy roof overhead.

Just down from here you have access to the garden and a charming patio with tranquil pond.

A cloakroom and storage cupboard can also be found on this level, together with a study overlooking the garden and also with further access to the garden.

Beyond the first flight of stairs is the family bathroom straight ahead.

Up another flight of stairs and to the left is the second double bedroom.

A further double bedroom and a magnificent master bedroom, with interlinking en suite occupy this floor. The fourth bedroom is just upstairs on the second floor, set in the turret, a fascinating structure.

On the lower ground floor, down the spiral staircase, you have a spacious dining room with access to outside via beautiful French doors. From here a door leads you into a galley kitchen with every necessary appliance you could ask for.

The Britannia oven and American fridge/freezer will be included. There is also a utility room, with more than enough space for a washing machine and separate dryer, which could be used as a third bathroom. A family room or possible fifth bedroom is adjacent to the kitchen.
