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 this semi-detached house is in one of the most sought after conservation areas in our legendary coastal city where the attractive properties on this exclusive road 1 minute from Wish Park’s playground and café and 3 from an outstanding primary do not come onto the market often as once discovered, people tend to stay.

Set back from the road by a scented rose garden and smart off street parking, this house has instant appeal. Energy efficient windows are already in the broad, tiled bays, there’s a side gate for bikes and there’s a practical tiled porch for coats and bags.

The Reception, Dining/Family Room and Sunroom:

Of classic 1930’s proportions, this elegant reception has a broad bay, and the ceiling has graceful, swan neck coving. A restful retreat guests can relax in quiet seclusion in front of a beautiful fireplace which was once connected to gas and discreet modern tweaks include a dimmer switch for ambient lighting.

Practical for every day but also perfect for parties, next door the dining room is both quiet and completely private with the conservatory and garden beckoning through French doors. A spacious blank canvas to make your own, some people have joined these two receptions together and a flexible space it could be a playroom or a bedroom if a member of the family needs a little tender care.

Ahead, sunlight streams through the vaulted conservatory with room to share, walls of glass to bring the outside in and French doors to the garden.

The Kitchen Diner:

All about embracing friends and family, the kitchen diner is a welcoming space of 12’6 x 9’9 (3.84m x 3.02) ideal for entertaining or family time. Although we all want the kitchen of our dreams, time is on your side as bright and cheerful, the working areas are carefully tucked away from peninsular island which doubles as a breakfast bar, and this space is well planned with a hands-on layout, ample, stylish storage and practical surfaces. The gas hob and electric oven are beneath a hood, and both the dishwasher and fridge freezer are freestanding for easy replacement (this is a hardworking, family home!) and the vendors are willing to discuss those in situ staying.

Hidden away out of sight of the breakfast bar, the utility is lined with windows and has a door to the lovely gardens.

The West Facing Garden:

Sunny, secure and surrounded by a sea of gardens, the west facing garden is open to the south and all level, as well as level with the house – features surprisingly difficult to find in a city built on the South Downs. A secret retreat expertly landscaped and larger than many this close to the city and the sea, a dining deck by the house is made private from neighbours by mature plants and shrubs chosen for scent and all year interest and it looks over the lawn, large enough for play.

Returning inside, just along the hall, a discreet cloakroom tucked under the stairs is perfect for guests and little ones, and the landing above has access to a huge attic, which some neighbours have extended into stnc….

The Family Bedrooms and Luxury Bathroom:
With leafy, open views over gardens, two of the delightful double bedrooms are similar in size so there shouldn’t be any ‘lively discussions’ as to allocation…and neither are directly overlooked. At the front, the light and airy bathroom is large enough for a bath with a shower attachment and a separate walk in shower which has a Mira shower fitted, so water pressure shouldn’t be an issue. Traditional in style, luxury touches include brass fittings and warming rail for towels, so it’s good to go. Next door, the principal bedroom is a peaceful refuge with a splendid 17’3 x 14’ (5.29m x 4.28m) approx.in which to unwind, and this restful bedroom looks over the wide, treelined avenue. Simple but stylish, the proportions instantly soothe and there is all the sophisticated storage you could dream of.

Agent Says:

“Quiet but convenient for schools, parks and the city, this house is perfect for a family or if you just like to entertain – and in this exclusive area, this house is priced to sell: The attic is a bonus if you wanted to add value with a magnificent principal suite! 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 the Lagoon has water sports. If you have children, West Hove Infant School is outstanding and Wish Park’s playground and café are full of local families.”

Owner’s secret:

“All the rooms are big and bright and the easy flow of the ground floor to the garden is perfect for family time or entertaining, and having two receptions works well if teenagers want their friends over. I have very happy memories of my father being content here, and spending time together on the beach at the end of the avenue, and enjoying the spacious garden with my own children over the years. The area is safe and friendly, and the sea is so close you can appreciate it every day. Church Road, just a few minutes away, has a big Tesco and a great selection of restaurants and bars - there are more along the seafront- and there are plenty of local bus routes if you want to explore the city or the West End as Hove station has direct trains to Gatwick and London.”
