Why you’ll like it:
Introduction:
With the sea sparkling at the end of this broad, leafy avenue it’s easy to forget that you are just minutes from a world famous coastal resort, and the house has immense appeal with broad bays, traditionally tiled and a rounded, oriel window. Set privately back from the street behind a paved hard standing which leads to the garage and stretches the full width of the plot, sensitive improvements include salt hardy UPVC double glazing and the addition of a long side porch, big enough for coats, bags and buggies.
The Entrance Hall and Reception:
Inside, the unusually broad hallway invites company with solid oak underfoot and a soaring ceiling, and it is full of colour thanks to beautiful stain glass windows in the south wall above the staircase, and there is a cloakroom tucked away.
With the wow factor as soon as you walk in, sunshine streams through the expansive reception which is a stunner, stretching a magnificent 11.66m (38’3) from the broad bay at the front to the pretty, glazed door to the conservatory at the back! L shaped with original stained glass windows to admire it has plenty of character, and a carved wood mantle delivers a spot for a fireplace.
The Conservatory, Utility and Kitchen:
Bathed in sunshine beneath a vaulted ceiling, the glass conservatory is party perfect, opening to the sun deck by the house for a seamless in/out flow. Inside, it wraps itself around a sociable central island which seats between four to six in comfort, with a family friendly solid wood top which matches all of the working surfaces. Expertly planned, a 5 ring gas hob is integrated into it, and on the kitchen side beneath it are two Zanussi ovens for seamless service. With the washing up area and integrated dishwasher carefully out of sight of the main conservatory and a utility room hidden away you can relax, and a big larder delivers yet more storage options.
The Garden:
Child and pet secure behind brick walls, this sunny garden is a secret retreat which is much larger than many this close to the city and the sea. A broad sun deck by the conservatory is level with the house and it steps down to a leafy oasis scented by rosemary and roses where surrounded by gardens, all you can hear is birdsong. Mature planting which is easy to tend provides all year interest and also ensures that the lawn, which is level for play, is not directly overlooked.
Three Family Bedrooms and Luxury Bathroom:
With restful open views over a sea of gardens, the first of the delightful double bedrooms is not directly overlooked, and with a fitted wardrobe and chic shower room en-suite it is ready to move into. Next door, the second double room, which also has leafy views, is similar in size and has its own built in storage, so there shouldn’t be any ‘lively discussions’ as to allocation…At the front, the third bedroom is simple but stylish, and although the smallest of the rooms it still has an impressive footprint of 15’1 x 9’10 (4.6m x 3.01) and has oblique sea views!
Central to this floor, the luxury bathroom has a designer finish, lined in Travetine marble, and it is large enough for both a double ended, contemporary tub and a separate walk in shower.
The Principal Suite:
A peaceful refuge with a splendid 20’4 x 13’9 (6.21m x 4.20m) in which to unwind, this restful principal bedroom looks obliquely down to the sea. Simple but stylish, the proportions instantly soothe, there is all the sophisticated storage you could dream of, and the discreet en-suite shower room has power shower and a Saniflow w.c.
Agent’s Thoughts:
This house is perfect for a family or if you just like to entertain. It’s easy to meet people on Hove Lawns, where you can join the keep fit or dog training sessions, (or enjoy the foodie festivals!) and if you love the water, the Lagoon has water sports including water skiing. If you have children, there’s a choice of good schools nearby, and Wish Park’s playground and café are full of local families.
Owner’s secret:
“The easy flow of the ground floor to the garden is perfect for family time or entertaining and all of the rooms are big and bright – even the hallways are large, so we never feel on top of each other. We walk the dog along the seafront every day, and as the area is safe and friendly, (the neighbours are a great bunch of people) we allow the older kids to go to the beach on their own. We are not always tied to the car as there are plenty of local bus routes, (and so we are not always tied to the children either!). Convenient for nights out locally, in Brighton’s picturesque heart or in the West End as Hove station has direct trains to Gatwick and London, we shall miss our happy home and garden, but it is time for us to move on and let some-one else enjoy doing all the things we had meant to, but were too busy to do!”
