About
This substantial and beautifully presented double fronted semi detached home offers an impressive amount of versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, combining generous proportions with stylish presentation throughout.
Ideally positioned on Portland Road, the property is perfectly placed for enjoying everything Hove has to offer, with the seafront, excellent transport links, local shops, cafés and highly regarded schools all within easy reach.
From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate sense of space and warmth.
The ground floor is particularly versatile, with two separate reception rooms providing excellent flexibility for family living, entertaining or working from home.
To the rear, the impressive kitchen dining room forms the real hub of the house, offering a bright and sociable space designed around modern family life.
The kitchen flows naturally into the dining area, while bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between the inside and outside spaces and making it ideal for summer entertaining and al fresco dining.
A useful utility room and downstairs WC add further practicality to the ground floor.
The generous accommodation continues across the two upper floors, where there are five spacious double bedrooms, providing plenty of room for a growing family, guests or those requiring dedicated home working space.
There are also three well appointed bath/shower rooms, including two en-suite facilities, offering convenience and privacy for busy family life.
The first floor landing is notably spacious and adds to the feeling of openness, while the top floor bedroom benefits from a view of the sea.
Outside, the property enjoys a particularly spacious and private rear garden, providing a wonderful extension of the living accommodation.
There is ample room for entertaining, children to play, gardening or simply relaxing outdoors, with the garden offering a peaceful retreat despite the property's convenient central location.
The location is another major attraction. Portland Road is ideally situated for access to Hove's vibrant seafront, which is approximately a five to ten minute walk away.
The seafront and surrounding area have seen significant investment in recent years, with popular destinations including Rockwater, Babble and Yellowave, alongside the pump tracks and lagoon, providing an excellent choice of leisure and recreational facilities.
Excellent transport connections are also close by, with nearby stations providing convenient rail links for commuters and regular bus services offering easy access towards central Brighton and beyond.
A choice of highly regarded schools, including some outstanding Primary schools, parks, cafés, independent shops and everyday amenities are all within easy reach, making this a superb location for both families and those looking to enjoy the best of Hove's relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Combining substantial and flexible accommodation, stylish presentation, a generous private garden and an enviable Hove location, this is a particularly impressive family home that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.
