We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated in one of Hove’s most sought-after residential locations, this substantial detached chalet bungalow offers exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 1,646 sq ft.
Occupying an elevated position within this established road, the property enjoys attractive southerly views across Hove towards the sea, together with a wonderful mature rear garden and separate garage.
With generously proportioned rooms arranged across two floors, this is a rare opportunity to create a superb family home in a highly regarded part of the city.
The ground floor is centred around an impressive 25'11" x 16'5" south-facing living room, a wonderfully proportioned space enjoying an abundance of natural light and attractive views across Hove.
A separate dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining, while the generous 22' kitchen offers excellent scope for modernisation and the potential to create a fantastic contemporary kitchen/breakfast room.
Also on the ground floor is a good-sized double bedroom, bathroom, separate WC and useful utility room, providing considerable flexibility for family living.
Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom measuring approximately 16'6" x 14'8", along with useful eaves storage.
Outside is undoubtedly one of the property’s major attractions.
The mature, elevated rear garden extends to approximately 70 feet and provides an excellent amount of space for families, entertaining and gardening.
There is also a separate garage with electric door, providing secure parking or valuable additional storage.
While clearly well cared for a many number of years, the property now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to personalise the accommodation to their own requirements.
Its generous footprint and flexible layout may also offer potential for further alteration or extension, subject to any necessary consents.
Benett Drive is a quiet and established residential road ideally positioned close to Hove Park, with its open green spaces, tennis courts, children’s playground and café.
Both Hove and Preston Park mainline stations offer direct links to London, while Waitrose, local shops and the wider amenities of Seven Dials, Church Road and central Hove are all easily accessible.
