House For Sale £575,000
Perfectly positioned in West Hove's famous Poets Corner district, this deceptively spacious house is both peaceful and well connected to the city. Renowned as a family friendly and fashionable location, the residents here have easy access to some of the cleanest beaches on the coast, as well as some of the best schools and there are many amenities and foodie pubs to enjoy within walking distance. Hove and Portslade commuter stations are also equidistant, so you get the best of all worlds here.
This house has three generous double bedrooms spread over three floors sharing two bathrooms, so it has room for families or professional sharers alike, and the interior décor is fresh and neutral, so you can put your own stamp on the place. There remains some scope for further modernisation to add value and the versatile rooms are well-proportioned and airy with a sunny east to westerly aspect. With so many positive features, this property will attract many.

Why you'll like it:
For many years, Poets corner has remained one of the most popular locations for families to live in Hove. The Victorian terraces lend themselves well to family living and there is so much to enjoy within easy walking distance; from parks, to beaches, museums and shops.
This house sits in the midst of it all, yet it is also peacefully tucked away from the main roads. It is attractive on the approach with classic architectural features including canted bay windows and plasterwork mouldings, and it is set slightly back from the street by a front garden.
Stepping inside, the main reception is to the left and was once two rooms which have since been opened to create on bright and sociable space. To the front, the bay window has been fitted with stylish plantation shutters, while to the rear, a glazed door opens to the garden. There are clearly defined areas for relaxation and formal dining in here, and the décor is smart and neutral to suit all styles of furnishing. Traditional shelves and cabinets have been built-in to the alcoves and along the rear wall for books and ornaments, and the floor is carpeted – although there are wooden floors below.
Passing deep under stair storage, the kitchen is at the far end of the property and is a wonderfully sunny room with a sliding door leading out to the garden, so the whole floor flows nicely during the summer. There are modern white units offering plenty of storage while the appliances are freestanding to include a fridge freezer and a cooker, and the utilities have a cupboard of their own in the bathroom upstairs.
Outside, the garden is wonderfully low maintenance with high-quality faux grass so no need for a mower. It has tall white walls which add to the sense of privacy, and it receives plenty of sunshine during the summer. It is completely enclosed ensuring it is safe for children to play, and there is scope for further landscaping should you wish to create flower beds or a vegetable patch.
Upstairs, the main bathroom is directly ahead from the landing and is a great size with a modern bathtub and a shower over it. The tiling was a more recent addition, and the enclose cupboard has space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer in a tower, while also housing the Worcester combination boiler.
Bedroom three sits centrally to the house, facing west looking out over the garden. This is a lovely double room with traditional built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space, and the period fireplace adds character.
Spanning the front of the house, the second bedroom is particularly generous and filled with natural light from the east. It has two sets of built-in wardrobes offering a vast amount of storage, and the bay window is dressed in plantation shutters to echo the living room below it.
A further flight takes you to the master bedroom suite on the top floor which is another sizable double room enjoying a chic en suite shower room. From this elevated position in the house, you gain glorious views over the rooftops of the local landscape to the west, so the sunsets are breath-taking, and it is even more peaceful up here, so you can tuck yourself away from the hubbub of family life.
Agent's thoughts:
This house is an exciting prospect for families looking to live in a vibrant area, in a house which has scope to add your own stamp without needing a complete renovation. It has been well-maintained by the owner, so you can move straight in with ease, and start enjoying the quintessential Hove lifestyle by the sea.
