House For Sale £2,000,000
Spanning approximately 3,219 total square feet over three levels, in a desirable lofty location between Hove Park and Dyke Road Avenue, this five-bedroom, contemporary detached property has been architecturally designed and reconfigured to create a noteworthy, highly specced, luxury family home.
The property features spacious living, entertaining and work spaces that have been thoughtfully positioned to capture the most panoramic views across the city to the ocean.
The extensive, high-end renovation was undertaken to rationalise the layout and harness the amazing amount of light, which now permeates every corner.
An incredible level of detail and craftsmanship has been carried through the home's interior, which has been designed to seamlessly blend both modern design elements with fine natural materials. The abundance of light flow has been amplified throughout by architectural features and specialised finishes, demonstrated perfectly in the fabrication of a full-width rear extension which provides a dramatic open plan kitchen/dining/family room, virtually doubling the original ground floor footprint. Opening out into a sunny, south-west facing terraced garden, this space is designed both for lavish entertaining or quiet family days, curated perfectly to meet any lifestyle needs.
Perfectly appointed in the catchment for several sought-after schools; with Preston Park and Hove Stations just a 15-minute walk away, and the A23 moments away by car, this property is well connected to the city and beyond. An open, elegant and yet still very intimate home in the perfect location.
Set back from the road this stunning home has immediate curb appeal, occupying a generous plot on an elevated position. Presenting as an exceptionally attractive modern construction, the architect has retained certain features, maintaining the clean lines, great proportions and red brickwork of its Neo-Georgian origins, fused with modernist design elements. A strong aesthetic foundation has been created in which the interior architecture and period of the property has been considered.
A smart paved drive leads up to the double garage, providing additional, off-road hard standing for two cars; a neatly manicured lawn which compliments the shape and size of the house and the slate-grey lime rendered and red brick façade adds a modern concept aesthetic.
Once inside it becomes apparent that every aspect of the renovation is of the highest quality in terms of materials, workmanship and attention to detail. Designed to offer a well-functioning, modern home that can accommodate the ever-changing needs of a busy family; a multitasking space that is durable, flexible and workable; a welcoming home that is filled with volumes of natural light, lots of practical storage and quiet workspaces for achieving that work/home balance. Everything needed to celebrate a busy lifestyle is here in this stylish, versatile property, which marries beauty and utility with modernist principles.
From the moment you enter, the scale and light within the house is breath taking. The dramatic double width hallway with its high ceilings, seating area and wall of seamless storage cupboards emphasises the practicality and stylish aesthetic of what’s to come. Engineered smoked oak floorboards flow through to the living room to the left, however your line of sight takes you immediately through to the incredible kitchen extension spanning the back of the home and then to the glorious garden beyond.
This extended multiuse, open-concept space is inspired in its design, cleverly taking full advantage of the natural light streaming in from the property’s southerly aspect then additionally harnessing light via two vast skylights and the wall of sliding Velfac glass doors which pour light into the room, creating a gorgeous environment bathed in brightness. This room has a quiet almost gallery feel to it despite its vastness. Enhanced by the design process the room has been constructed in such a way so as to ensure the sunlight is never direct, just softly reflecting off the crisp lines of the components, creating light and shade throughout the day and never overheating.
This versatile entertaining space has been clearly defined into areas for cooking, formal dining and relaxing, all unified by oversized Mandarin Stone concrete effect floor tiles. The expansive kitchen area is fully equipped with two walls of matt grey, soft close storage units, integrated appliances and Corian work surfaces. An island with induction hob sits centrally while full-height fridge-freezer, dishwasher, dual ovens, microwave and espresso machine have been seamlessly fitted throughout the space and the sink with boiling water tap, cut in. A luxe touch sees twenty-four carat gold leaf embedded behind glass as a splash back along the rear wall where the under unit lighting catches its subtle glimmer.
Family focussed, ideal for entertaining, family time and relaxing, this room serves the perfect balance between home comforts and luxury living. Organised to enjoy the verdant views out to the terrace and garden beyond, with the sliding doors opening up the space for that indoor/outdoor flow. The garden receives plenty of sunshine throughout the day and is the perfect place for children to play as well as for outdoor parties and alfresco dining.
A separate utility room adjoins the kitchen and offers ample storage plus an American fridge freezer. With access from the side of the house it is an ideal place for bringing in muddy boots, buggies and paws without traipsing them through the main house.
This sophisticated, spacious, linked reception room is the perfect relaxing space to enjoy some down time. A real feel of luxury ensues with a contemporary Bellfire adding ambience, sublime far-reaching views over the city down to the sea from the wide picture window and its elevated position ensuring privacy. A generous floor plan offers inspiration for cool interior styling and there’s enough wall space for some serious artworks.
The concrete-grey floor tiles in the kitchen flow seamlessly out to the alfresco dining terrace opening up the indoor/outdoor concept. The dining area incorporates a built-in barbecue, ideal for entertaining.
The terraced garden has a gentle slope with a lawned area perfect for children’s play equipment and ball games and a slate-chip path leading up to a bespoke, design-led home office.
Timber clad in silver larch for beautiful external weathering, the interior environment of the office has been similarly considered with well-insulated thick walls rendering the building ideal for use all year round. Extensive double-glazed doors add to the insulation while additionally framing the inspiring views between the evergreens to the coast. Internally, birch wood ply has been used to line the walls and create storage spaces and on-trend shadow gaps add to the modernist clean lines, making this office a real showpiece. Complete with its own broadband and electricity supply, it offers a calm, sun-filled, fully independent workspace.
Perfect for our current climate the home office is a ‘must-have on many a home buyer’s list, however this bespoke unit has flexible options such as a gym, teenager’s retreat, workshop, ad infinitum.
A bespoke birch wood ply staircase leads up to a galleried landing where there are four beautiful, well appointed double bedrooms, all of which enjoy the striking city and ocean views which become more impressive the further up the house you go. Each of the rooms is finished to a high spec with built-in clothes storage, wood floors and a contemporary palette of timeless neutrals that serve to emphasise both the light and the views and open up the spaces to inspired interior styling.
Bedroom two shares the Jack and Jill style family bathroom, which benefits from some luxe features including white marbled, ceramic floor and wall tiles, a separate rainfall shower and a beautiful freestanding bathtub for some serious soaking.
Forming part of the rear extension, the primary bedroom suite is accessed through a dressing area with a range of storage solutions. A gorgeous private sanctuary nicely tucked away from the rest of the house.
The luxury en suite has been tiled in Grey Nero marble, with a freestanding contemporary bathtub with floor-mounted taps and wet room rainfall shower.
This incredible and exemplary design-led property is inspired, authentic, and timeless. A stylish architectural gem that has organically pulled together light and space to create a fusion of versatile interior lifestyle options with perfect exterior flow.
