In brief

Architect designed and originally named ‘Grosvenor House’, the property is built in red brick with timber detailing, a style characteristic of the Hove Park area from the 1920’s. Designed so that the majority of rooms face onto the garden, and with some having dual aspect, it’s a home filled with light and warmth. All rooms are comfortably sized with a spacious central hallway.

On the quiet corner of Lloyd and Shirley roads, this light filled five-bedroom property has a wealth of period features including original oak wood panelling and panelled doors, almost all with distinctive art deco cubed door knobs.

Recent comprehensive renovations have endowed this residence with a high-spec kitchen, a utility room, and beautifully appointed bathrooms. The layout has been reconfigured to create a Principal Suite, and the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped.

The house has been wrapped internally with Celotex insulation complemented by insulation beneath the floors and in the loft, all harmonizing with an efficient air-source heat pump system. This system, with two pumps, runs solely on electricity, significantly reducing heating costs. Electrical and plumbing systems have been modernised to integrate seamlessly with this setup. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, while the radiators on the upper floor operate independently. Smart apps or wall thermostats control the temperature in each room. The bathrooms are equipped with electric underfloor heating and heated towel racks.

Maximizing energy efficiency, the windows throughout the house are triple-glazed, ensuring warmth during the winter and a cool ambiance in the summer.

Inside

Ground floor

All ground floor rooms radiate from the central hallway. An ample double aspect living room has French doors opening out onto the garden and is followed by a large separate dining room with a ground floor cloakroom opposite. The roomy kitchen and dining area is connected to the garden through patio doors and seamlessly leads to a well-appointed utility room.

First floor

On the half landing, a large window allows natural light to fill both the hallway and the landing on the upper floor. The Principal Suite has been newly configured and includes a spacious double bedroom with dual aspect, a dressing room, and an ensuite bathroom. Three additional double bedrooms overlook the landscaped garden, and on the opposite side of the hall, there's a single bedroom that could serve as a home office.

The first floor also boasts a beautifully presented family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle. Additionally, there is access to an extensive roof space from the upper floor landing via a hatch.

Outside

The property is surrounded by a stunning garden that wraps around three sides, with gated side access on the fourth. This garden is a secluded oasis that enjoys plenty of sunshine and is adorned with trees, shrubs, and flowers encircling a central lawn. There's also an expansive patio area adjacent to the house. At the front of the property, a driveway and an integral garage combine to provide convenient off-road parking for several vehicles.

In the local area

Leafy Hove Park is a quiet suburban area yet offers all the benefits of living so close to central Brighton & Hove with all its bustle of shops, cafes and restaurants. Commuters will love having Hove railway station less than ten minutes walk away with direct trains to London Victoria. Young families will appreciate the close proximity of Brighton Girls GDST Juniors School just around the corner and both a senior school and Sixth Form College both within very short walking distance. Hove Park with its tennis, children’s play area and popular café is just a short stroll away as is Hove Recreation Ground.
