The idyllic country style setting of this family home offers the best of both worlds in its sought after Tongdean location. Its peacefulness and privacy combines the tranquillity of a classic English garden with easy access to the bustling café culture of Hove and Seven Dials.

Constructed by renowned architect, Harold Turner during the interwar years, this impressive family home has been attentively renovated to an especially high standard. Particular care has been taken to accentuate the property’s numerous period features. West facing, high-specification muntin casement windows flood this elegant home with light, succoured by high ceilings and excellent room proportions; a great sense of space has been achieved.

Warm, neutral décor throughout marries together for a perfect blend of striking period characteristics and contemporary living. Currently arranged over two floors, the property briefly consists of a sizable reception, a modern kitchen/breakfasting room, a large dining room, five bedrooms with the main suite benefiting from an en-suite shower room, a sleek family bathroom and a ground floor cloakroom.

In more detail - Set back from the wide tree-lined road, pristine hedging and a wonderfully manicured lawn frames the entrance of this family home, creating a welcoming first impression. A refined original solid oak door opens onto a central hallway where the honey tones of an original hardwood floor instantly create a sense of the charm and character that this spacious house has to offer.

Ground floor - Looking out onto the highly private picturesque front garden, a generous reception room revels in afternoon sun. The west facing bay window and the enviable log burner engenders a calm and peaceful feel to the space no matter the season. Across the hallway natural light tumbles into a large formal dining room that’s perfectly proportioned for entertaining and family meals.

An open plan kitchen/breakfast room is the real heart of this home. Utterly sophisticated in its design, a wraparound shaker style kitchen gives a contemporary twist on a timeless classic. Cream coloured cabinets and warm toned wood floors juxtapose state-of-the-art bi-folding doors and a wealth of integrated appliances for a country-style chic atmosphere; perfect for entertaining friends and family. A modern cloakroom completes the ground floor, and a beautifully stripped back original oak staircase provides easy access to the bedrooms upstairs.

Upstairs – The warm tones of the main hallway’s wooden staircase flow up past a wide leaded window that offers far-reaching views. The hugely versatile layout of the first floor features five well-proportioned bedrooms that provide ideal family accommodation.

Looking out over the attractive cul de sac and the lovingly tended front garden, the large main bedroom suite provides a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Its walk-in cupboards supply plenty of storage without compromising on the floorspace. A contemporary style en-suite shower room with a desirable double vanity unit and substantially-sized walk-in shower complete this elegant sanctuary.

Large dual aspect windows continue the flow of natural light into the two largest bedrooms, whilst the remaining two rooms are still very good-sized doubles.

Decorated in a matching contemporary design, the modern family bathroom includes a luxurious rolltop bathtub and a sleek walk-in shower unit.

A roomy cupboard on the landing offers handy extra storage, whilst an expansive loft space provides a wealth of space to extend this family home (subject to the correct consents).<br /><br />step outside - Set back from the tree-lined road, discreetly tucked away at the end of a peaceful and desired cul de sac, this cherished family home is as pretty as a picture.

A well-kept lawn is bordered with tall established hedgerows and mature shrubs, while the pretty colours of potted plants pepper the edges of an immaculately kept flagstone patio.

Providing an instant wow factor that’s hard to ignore, beautiful established trees boarder the far end of the garden to create an excellent sense of seclusion. Stroll across the lawn to a timber summerhouse with a decked terrace that creates an idyllic spot to escape from the hubbub of daily life, relax with the weekend papers or enjoy barbeques with family and friends.

Offering a slice of country living and a classic English garden feel, this graceful outdoor space has ample room to incorporate a vegetable patch without encroaching on the lawn, and is a wonderful place for children to play.

A large paved driveway and integral garage offer plenty of private off-road parking for several vehicles.

In the local area - Sitting near to Hove Park with its tennis courts, children’s playground, café and miniature railway, there are an abundance of outdoor facilities close at hand, and Dyke Road offers easy access to the breath-taking views of Devils Dyke and the South Downs.

When it comes to independent shops, bars and restaurants there’s no shortage at nearby Seven Dials and a large Waitrose superstore is within walking distance, just behind the park.

Preston Park mainline train station is only a short walk from your door making it ideal for commuters, and regular bus services make it simple to travel the heart of Brighton and Hove, and down to the beach.

Local schools include Stanford School, Lancing Prep, Cardinal Newman Catholic School, bhasvic and the independent Windlesham Day School.
