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
This magnificent Hove family estate, offered for the first time since 1962, occupies a prime elevated plot with panoramic sea views and extensive mature gardens.
Combining mid-century architecture with extraordinary potential, the property offers a rare opportunity for modernisation, extension, or redevelopment (STPP).
Approached via a sweeping driveway, the home impresses with its commanding presence, substantial garage, and ample off-street parking.
Inside, a grand entrance hall with double-height ceiling and sweeping staircase sets a dramatic tone, while natural light flows from rear-facing windows to the expansive gardens beyond.
The ground floor blends elegant formality with modern flexibility.
A front study provides a private retreat, while the main living room features floor-to-ceiling glass and timber doors opening onto a raised terrace—perfect for entertaining or relaxing.
A formal dining room connects to a spacious, light-filled kitchen/breakfast room with ample storage, adjoining utility room, and a sunroom overlooking the gardens. A guest W/C completes this level.
Upstairs, the principal suite offers luxury and privacy, with two walk-in wardrobes, en-suite bathroom, and a private roof terrace with sea views.
Three further double bedrooms and two family bathrooms provide flexible family accommodation.
The gardens are exceptional, with extensive lawns, mature trees, and distinct ‘garden rooms’ for entertaining, relaxing, or play.
A detached pool house includes an indoor pool, jacuzzi, kitchen, and shower/changing facilities, offering lifestyle and development potential.
With its unrivalled plot, panoramic views, generous interiors, and iconic mid-century design, this property presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for families or developers seeking a prestigious Hove home.
