Sea Views, backing on to local nature reserve. Close to Brighton

Our home is a two bedroomed maisonette with sea views that backs on to a lagoon which is a local nature reserve. We are located three miles from Worthing, a large seaside town and seven miles from Brighton, a dynamic and exciting city of music, nightlife and culture. A bus service goes past the front door and connects both. Our property is accessed by a flight of steps to the first floor.

This is mostly open plan having been extensively renovated in 2013. The large lounge area has bifold doors to the rear garden which then backs on to the lagoon and is a bird watchers paradise. A smart T.V. is in the lounge with subscriptions to Netflix, Prime and Apple. There are two sofas, one of them a sofabed, two swivel chairs and another two Stressless leather swivel/recliners.

Next to the lounge is the dining and kitchen areas which are light and modern and share the views to the nature reserve. The kitchen is fully equipped with a double electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge and appliances. There is access to an upright freezer.

A short hall way leads to a utility room, which contains a second toilet, washing machine, freezer and dryer. Next to that is the large bathroom which has two basins, a walk-in shower and a bath. The third room is the second bedroom which is currently set up as a dressing room.

The garden, which backs on to the lagoon, has been managed to attract wildlife and contains mature shrubs and trees. There is a patio that is accessed from the lounge, or around the side of the house, which is great for barbeques in the summer. Swans frequently swim past the garden.

Upstairs to the master bedroom and studio; This is a large room which has a queen sized bed and John Lewis mattress. Steve also uses this as a music studio. There is a desktop computer and a hi-fi system. A pair of glass doors open on to the balcony that looks over the lagoon to the sea.
