Sitting in one of the city's most prestigious enclaves, surrounded by peace and greenery; this substantial, five-bedroom family home has an air of grandeur. It was built during the Mid-20th Century when architects were designing homes with the family unit in mind, so space, light and functionality were of utmost importance. This house has all three in abundance, along with a beautifully sunny, south facing rear garden for the family to enjoy. This aspect ensures it is filled with natural light throughout the day, plus with two generous reception rooms, it provides spacious and versatile living accommodation for families of all sizes and age combinations. Inside, the ceilings are high and vaulted in areas to include a stunning double height window with mezzanine office space. The décor throughout is immaculate and modern but with a traditional feel, so it is immediately warm and welcoming.
While this house sits in a tranquil setting with the South Downs National Park on your doorstep, it is incredibly well-connected by road, train and bus to the centre of Brighton & Hove, with the beach and city centre shops accessible by bus, car or on foot. For commuters, Hove, Brighton and Preston Park Stations are an easy walk, and the A23/A27 are just a few minutes away by car, and there is secure parking on a gated drive or within the garage. You are also within catchment for some of the city's best primary and secondary schools, making this a highly attractive and exciting prospect for families, professionals and commuters alike.

Why you'll like it:
For families looking to live the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle, you couldn't be better placed than here. Dyke Road Place sits peacefully tucked away from Dyke Road on the eastern side, so you cannot hear the road. Mature trees surrounding are filled with birdsong while providing privacy, ensuring this property feels every inch the country home.
Set back from the road behind a border wall and gated parking, this house has stature, and is a prime example of early-mid 20th Century architecture. Neo-Tudor beamed gables sit above red brick elevations and a solid oak front door opens first to a porch area then into the entrance hall. From the moment you enter, this house feels welcoming and harmonious, and it has been beautifully modernised and maintained by the current owners who have lived here happily for twenty-years.
Sitting room:
Spanning the depth of the house this fantastic room is generously proportioned making it ideal for both family time and entertaining. Its southerly wall stretched double height and is almost entirely glazed with a leaded light door and windows framing impressive views of the garden. A spiral staircase leads up to the mezzanine floor which provides a vast amount of office space with access also to the first floor, and also enjoys peaceful garden views.
A contemporary palette in rich, earthy tones has been used in here which works well in a room of this size, yet it also feels homely with soft carpet underfoot. A modern gas fire adds warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings, while during the summer months, the garden becomes an extension of the space.
Kitchen and Dining room:
This room certainly feels like the heart of this home, with a large kitchen table at its centre for family meetings, informal suppers and leisurely lunches. A wide window frames pretty garden views, so you can keep an eye on little ones from inside too, and it is bright and airy with natural light streaming in throughout the day. The Clive Christian style cabinetry has timeless appeal; built from solid oak and paired with granite worktops. Running along three walls, these units provide a vast amount of storage and have been fitted with a fridge and freezer, a dishwasher, dual ovens and a gas hob. The double ceramic butler sink has been inlaid and the utilities have been cleverly housed in the integral double garage. This is accessible from the formal dining room adjoining. Wood effect Amtico flooring flows through to unify the spaces, providing a stylish yet hardwearing for a high-traffic area. Another generous room, this is the ideal space for parties and large family dinners which can again, spill out to the garden via French doors to the patio.
The Garden:
A treat for the senses, and a dream for children, the garden has a large lawn for ball games and equipment, plus a paved terrace for dining alfresco. Mature evergreens, bamboos and palm trees line the perimeter providing some areas of dappled shade while giving the garden complete privacy from neighbours. Due to its southerly aspect, it receives the sun right through the day and into the evening for summer suppers and dining alfresco. The surrounding flowerbeds are well-established and there is still some scope for further landscaping if desired. With secure gated access to either side, you can bring muddy boots, bikes, paws or gardening equipment around to the rear rather than traipsing them through the house – and children are also able to play in the garden in complete safety.
First floor Bedrooms and Bathrooms:
Returning to the entrance hall, carpeted stairs take you to the spacious first-floor landing, from which four double bedrooms and the family bathroom reside. The elegant proportions continue the further up the house you go, to include a second vaulted ceiling rising up to the second floor – further adding to the sense of space and light within the house. From every bedroom, the views are green and peaceful, and all bedrooms have a restful décor to include Amtico flooring in two rooms with carpet in the others. Bedrooms two and three have en suite shower rooms while bedrooms four and five share use of the family bathroom. With a Victorian style freestanding bath and traditional shower attachment, it is ideal for bathing little ones or relaxing in style.
Master bedroom suite – second floor:
Spanning the entire second floor, the master bedroom suite is a beautiful space where you can tuck yourself away from the hubbub of family life in complete tranquillity. In a room of this size, there are defined areas for relaxation, sleeping and dressing – without compromising on floor space at all. There is a sweet alcove dressing table and two walls of built-in wardrobes with ample clothes hanging space for two, and the en suite bathroom feels luxurious. Lined with large-scale, marbled porcelain tiles, it is both glamorous and timeless and has contemporary fittings to include a streamlined, handle-free vanity unit below the basin and a rainfall shower.
From the windows in the bedroom, you can see right over the city to the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, reminding you just how perfectly placed the city is, between the countryside and the coast.
Agents thoughts:
This is a stunning home which impresses from the moment you step through the door. It has been beautifully maintained and has incredible proportions throughout – ready for both family time and sophisticated entertaining.
Owners' secret:
"After 20-years of living in this house, it is going to be a wrench to leave. We have raised our family here and have found the space to be ideal for large family gatherings. It is wonderful at Christmas time with space for a tall tree by the mezzanine – but equally during summer when the house opens up to the garden. We were immediately taken by the unique layout of the house and the sense of peace you get here as it feels secluded and quiet. The city and stations are also close by, however, as are the schools, colleges and other amenities, so it really is the ideal place to live in the city. We no longer need a house of this size since the children have grown up and left home, but we will miss it here hugely."
