Why you’ll like it:

Perfectly positioned within walking distance of Hove Station and Church Road, yet peacefully tucked away within a smart Victorian terrace, this house offers families and professionals the quintessential Hove lifestyle. Sitting mid-terrace, this attractive house has a classic period façade. Canted bay sash windows are classic of the era and bring in a substantial amount of light from the south. Sitting elevated slightly from the road, the house is private from within and has steps up to a zesty lemon front door.

Stepping inside, this house immediately feels light and spacious with high ceilings continuing into the generous living room to the left. Once two rooms, this was opened creating a fantastic area for relaxation and family time, but also space for working from home if need be. For families with children of all ages, this is a versatile room with space for play time or study, and spanning the depth of the house, it is dual aspect. With creamy walls and oatmeal carpets, this room is a blank canvas just waiting for someone to put their own stamp on the place.

Passing a door to the garden, stairs lead down to the lower ground floor which echoes the shape of the living room with two generous spaces knocked through with the kitchen to one side and a dining area on the other with a glazed door leading out to the garden. The kitchen offers plenty of storage space in cream gloss units leaving space for a tall fridge freezer and a dishwasher, while the oven and gas hob are integrated. The washing machine and tumble dryer have space alongside a separate WC and wash basin in a utility room of their own in the hall.

You can seat at least ten in the dining area – ideal for festive meals or social occasions, where you can spill outside during the warmer seasons.
Predominantly paved with two large, well-established flower beds, the garden is easy to maintain and has a sunny seating area at the end of the garden for dining alfresco in the last of the summer sunshine. This garden is longer than others on the terrace and has a willow tree at the far end which screens the houses to the rear so it does not feel too overlooked.

On the first floor there are two lovely double bedrooms and the family bathroom. This has a classic white bath suite and large-scale wall tiles. There is a shower over the bath and yellow walls add a pop of sunshine colour to the space.
Next door, bedroom two is a sunny double with a southerly aspect, a wide bay window and wooden floor boards. Bedroom three sits peacefully to the rear looking out over the garden and both rooms are ample double rooms ideal for adults or children.

The master bedroom has been created in the roof space where a dormer allows for high ceilings and a tranquil ensuite bathroom. This is a king size room with built in clothes storage to maximise the floor space further and plenty of eaves storage too. The bathroom offers a modern take on a period style with a new freestanding claw foot bath with shower attachment and dark wood flooring runs throughout.

Agent’s thoughts:
This family home ticks so many boxes with plenty of space, the ability to add value and an excellent location. This area has never waned in its popularity, so it is sure to attract many.
