Shirley Drive, Hove, BN3 6UB

A particularly substantial 5 bedroom detached family home of considerable character, standing in exceptionally large and expansive gardens which afford considerable potential for expansion (STNPC) while occupying an impressive elevated position in this highly regarded residential setting.

This attractive and impressive detached house is located in the sought after Hove Park district, close to local shopping facilities and the delightful Hove Park with its open spaces and recreational amenities.

Set back from the road in an imposing elevated position, this lovely family home stands in beautiful mature gardens, which undoubtedly offer scope for enlargement if desired, subject of course to the normal planning consents.

The property is offered for sale in excellent decorative order and provides lovely light and generously proportioned living space spanning three floors making this a supremely comfortable and versatile family home with internal living space of over 3,400 sq ft and 3,700 sq ft including the double garage.

There are 4 large double bedrooms together with a fifth single bedroom spanning the first and second floor and 3 separate reception rooms together with a large well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the gardens.

Successfully combining a wealth of original character with the comforts of modern living, the house features a large and welcoming wood panelled reception hallway with exposed oak herringbone floors, a large main sitting room with ornate detailed ceilings and feature fireplace and a wide oak staircase leading to a similarly spacious first floor landing.

Some impressive elevated views towards the sea are enjoyed from the upper floors and the huge well established gardens are a delight and include a lovely 'secret' garden, as well as a wide private driveway leading to a detached double garage.

The acquisition of such a fine traditional family home represents a rare opportunity and an early viewing is very highly recommend.
