Set on a desirable tree-lined residential street, the property provides just under 1,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation and has been thoughtfully presented throughout.

Period features have been carefully retained, complemented by contemporary finishes and modern conveniences.
The first floor provides three generously proportioned double bedrooms, and a family bathroom suite.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a private en-suite shower room and bespoke dressing area, creating a peaceful and stylish retreat.
The property is situated on Lorna Road, a historically interesting and highly regarded residential street where Edwardian and interwar architecture sit alongside one another.
The section of the road developed during the late 1920s provides a peaceful residential atmosphere, while the wider amenities of central Hove are all close at hand.

These provide a wealth of recreational facilities, from tennis courts and open-air theatre to a miniature railway and the historic chalybeate spring at St Ann's Well Gardens.
Offered in excellent decorative condition, this substantial and characterful family home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious four-bedroom residence in one of central Hove's most desirable residential locations, combining the charm of a period property with the convenience of an enviable position close to the station, seafront and local amenities.
