6 bedroom detached house for sale

Set discreetly behind electric gates and framed by beautifully landscaped gardens, this exceptional home offers over 5,300 square feet of thoughtfully curated accommodation, arranged across three generous floors.

Architecturally distinctive, the home’s Mediterranean influence and broad, elegant frontage create an immediate sense of stature and arrival. Inside, space and light have been expertly balanced to deliver both impressive entertaining areas and refined family living, with each level flowing effortlessly into the next.

At the heart of the home lies a striking contemporary kitchen, designed as a social hub. Sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island provide both style and functionality, opening seamlessly into the separate dining area and principal family reception room. Bathed in natural light, these spaces extend onto the balcony and rear aspect, where far-reaching sea views form a spectacular backdrop. A dedicated office on this floor offers a peaceful and practical work-from-home retreat.

The lower ground floor introduces a superb lifestyle level, centred around a large reception room with bespoke bar area and direct access to the terrace and gardens beyond. Perfect for entertaining, this floor also incorporates a bedroom and bathroom, ideal for guests or extended family. There is also a separate W/C and utility room on this floor.

The upper floor of the main house is arranged around the principal bedroom suites, each offering generous proportions, privacy and sea views. The main and second bedrooms both benefit from walk-in wardrobes and stylish en- suites, while further bedrooms are served by high-quality bath and shower rooms.

A particularly rare and valuable asset is the self-contained two-storey annex, providing a level of independence and flexibility seldom found in homes of this calibre. The upper level offers a bright open-plan living space, while the lower floor accommodates a bedroom and modern bathroom. Whether for family visiting, older relatives or ancillary use, it is a fantastically integrated, yet entirely private addition. Adjacent to the annex sits an additional reception room, currently used as a home office, but equally suited as a creative studio or teenagers’ hangout space.

Outside, the gardens have been carefully designed to complement both the scale of the house and its elevated position. A generous level lawn is bordered by mature planting for privacy, while raised terraces create idyllic spaces for outdoor dining and relaxed entertaining, all enjoying views towards the coastline and sea beyond.

There is also a large garage and private driveway, set securely behind the electric gates, providing excellent and secure off-street parking.

Situated on Tongdean Avenue, widely regarded as one of the most prestigious addresses in Hove, the home occupies a beautiful, quiet, tree-lined setting renowned for its substantial private residences, sense of space and exclusivity.
