Nestled in the heart of Hove Park, this spacious and inviting family residence has undergone recent extensions, offering a bright and sunlit ambiance with distant sea views from both floors, boasting breathtaking sunsets year-round.

Both the front and rear gardens have been meticulously landscaped, adorned with a variety of shrubs, trees, and flowers, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Recent upgrades include new windows, an outdoor lighting scheme, and a remote-controlled, fully electric garage door. There are building plans and steels ready for a ‘phase two’ ground floor extension (details on Brighton & Hove planning portal using reference BH2003/03195/FP)
Upon entry, you'll be greeted by a grand hallway, seamlessly connecting the various living spaces. The expansive lounge flows into a separate dining room, with large glass doors providing views of the lush garden. Additionally, there's a year-round conservatory perfect for unwinding. The spacious ground floor boasts a newly fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar and integrated cooker, hob, and fridge freezer. Plans have been drawn for a rear kitchen extension (under permitted development), with steel beams already in place for this future enhancement.
The ground floor also hosts three double bedrooms, including a spacious guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. A second bedroom, currently utilized as a home office, offers captivating distant sea views and a serene ambiance and third bedroom, tucked away for peace and quiet.
Ascending the staircase from the hallway, you'll discover two more bedrooms and bathrooms. The master suite is a private retreat, offering stunning vistas over Hove and the sea. This well lit sanctuary includes a beautifully designed bathroom with exquisite Spanish tiles, a separate shower, and a luxurious roll-top bath. The other sizable bedroom on this floor features a large window overlooking the expansive garden. Adjacent is another bathroom, also adorned with fun tiling.
The expansive sunny East facing garden is beautifully maintained with mature borders. A stepping stone style path leads to an additional private patio area, a calm setting for long summer evenings. Additional storage is tucked away in the brick-built shed, well placed for all garden maintenance needs.
Within a five-minute stroll, you'll find yourself at the child and pet-friendly Hove Park, or among the delightful shops of Woodland Parade, featuring a Post Office, the Nine Vines wine bar, a coffee shop, and a restaurant. For your convenience, Waitrose is also within walking distance.
