About
This beautifully presented Victorian family home combines a wealth of original period character with a range of thoughtful modern improvements, creating a wonderfully comfortable and versatile home arranged over three floors.
Offering five generous double bedrooms, two spacious reception rooms, a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room and two luxurious bathrooms, the property is ideally suited to modern family life.
From the outset, the property has considerable charm, with many original features retained, including the beautifully restored original front path, while the interior has been immaculately maintained and sympathetically enhanced.
The property was fully rewired in 2021, with dedicated WiFi cabling to the top floor to provide enhanced connectivity and whole-home coverage.
Further improvements include air conditioning to both the front living room and main bedroom, double glazing and external rendering and decoration completed in 2022.
On entering, the welcoming accommodation provides two excellent reception rooms, offering a choice of spaces for relaxing, entertaining and family life.
Both rooms are generously proportioned while, as mentioned, the principal reception room also benefits from air conditioning.
To the rear is the stunning kitchen/breakfast room, which forms a particularly impressive heart to the home.
Bright and contemporary in design, it features sleek white cabinetry, quality work surfaces and a central island with inset sink, creating an excellent combination of preparation and social space.
Large windows and glazed doors overlook the garden and allow an abundance of natural light to flood through the room, creating a bright, spacious and inviting environment for everyday family life and entertaining.
A downstairs WC adds further practicality. The upper floors provide five generous double bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for a growing family, guests or home working.
The main bedroom benefits from air conditioning, while the property has two luxurious contemporary bath/shower rooms, both recently fitted to a high standard, providing stylish and well-appointed facilities for the household.
Outside, the property enjoys a particularly attractive south facing rear garden, providing a wonderful private space in which to relax and entertain.
The garden has been thoughtfully improved, with a newly landscaped patio, flower beds, tiling and an upgraded drainage system, all completed in summer 2024.
The garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and complements the excellent entertaining and family space provided within the house.
The location is another significant feature, with Hove seafront and beach within easy reach, alongside the excellent range of cafés, restaurants, independent shops and amenities for which the area is renowned.
Hove Station is approximately 0.6 miles away, providing convenient rail connections, while the surrounding area also offers access to a number of schools, parks and local amenities.
Overall, this is an exceptional Victorian family home that successfully combines period charm with modern comfort and improvements.
With its impressive five double bedrooms, two reception rooms, stunning kitchen/breakfast room, two contemporary bathrooms and beautifully landscaped south facing garden, together with the benefit of being fully rewired, externally renovated and fitted with air conditioning to key rooms, this is a substantial and immaculately presented home in a highly desirable Hove location.
