House For Sale £1,750,000
Development Opportunity
Sitting in one of Hove’s most prestigious favoured locations with panoramic leafy vistas that stretch down to the sea, this exemplary family home with scope to develop and extend, unfolds over three wonderfully light filled storeys. An expanse of glazing produces a superb interplay with the terracing and west-facing gardens, while self-contained garden rooms coupled with two separate entrances and an abundance of parking offer a host of possibilities. The A27 and mainline station are within easy reach and the green open spaces of the South Downs, Hove Park and the Three Cornered Copse at close at hand.
Behind the evergreen foliage of statuesque palms and conifers of a walled garden that proffers a prized degree of privacy, double doors open to reveal a stunning entrance hall that instantly evokes an enviable sense of space with an open tread staircase and vaulted ceiling. The rich timber tones of its wonderful herringbone floor flow through glazed sliding doors into a dining room that connects with the kitchen and living room to create a tremendous central hub. Strikingly lit by an expanse of wrap-around floor to ceiling glazing proffering breath-taking vistas, the living room is filled with natural light and opens onto an extensive west-facing terrace, while the kitchen is well appointed with a first class range cooker. Across the hallway, a separate utility room gives access to the integral garaging and a modern shower room completes the ground floor.
The picturesque views continue upstairs where four bedrooms supply flexible family accommodation. A principal bedroom has a wealth of fitted storage and a hugely private balcony, and an excellent family bathroom has a tastefully chosen suite. The versatile self contained 2 roomed garden rooms with its own driveway and private entrance via Woodland Drive is ideal for multi-generational living, guests or a surgery/chiropractic style practise subject of course to the necessary planning consents.
Nestled within an abundance of greenery, the considered design of this Hove home is admirably arranged to give every opportunity to step out into the sunshine. Encompassing the living room, an extensive paved terrace is a heavenly spot for lazy afternoons, al fresco dining or after dinner drinks. Beneath you, towering conifers and bamboo frame an established lawn, and a hot tub is tucked discreetly away in a charming summer house. Integral and detached double length garaging supply ample off-road parking coupled with space for an additional 8 cars.
What the owner says...
I have lived in my lovely happy house for 50 years, since October 1972, when I moved in with my late husband and four small children. It is a safe and pleasant area with wonderful walks. I now have 8 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. My neighbours have been my friends. We have had fabulous parties and two wedding receptions in the house with wonderful memories. The south and west facing terrace has sun from early morning until sunset and most of the summers have been spent outside.
