House For Sale £1,500,000
AN ATTRACTIVE DETACHED HOME EXCELLENTLY POSITIONED WITHIN A HIGHLY DESIRABLE AREA OF HOVE AND BENEFITTING FROM FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOMS, A LARGE BEAUTIFULLY-LANDSCAPED REAR GARDEN, AN INTEGRAL GARAGE AND A DRIVEWAY. ON A PROMINENT CORNER PLOT WITH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL (STNC)
This expansive family home measures in excess of 2,200sqft/204.5sqm, offering a substantial living space, boasting excellent room proportions throughout. With large windows in every room this gorgeous home is wonderfully light.
Arranged over two floors, the property briefly consists of an extensive living area, a separate kitchen, a large family room, four double bedrooms each with fitted storage, a family bathroom, an additional shower room and a downstairs w.c. A double width integral garage is a handy addition for extra parking or storage. To the rear of the property is a generous and lovingly tended rear garden. The property has the benefit of a spacious driveway, and another smaller, single garage at the rear of the garden with a dropped curb.
Ground floor
Sat on the corner of Shirley Drive and Shirley Road, this traditional family home enjoys an appealing and somewhat unique approach. The property can be accessed from a handy side gate, the garage and the main front door. Set back from the road behind a charming selection of mature shrubs, trees and greenery, this spacious home features a striking asymmetric frontage, combining terracotta tiling, a red brick frontage and classic white framed windows.
On entering the property, a generous entrance hall welcomes you into this substantial home and offers a convenient place for storing outdoor shoes and coats. A large double reception room spans the entire depth of the house being well-lit by a large window and sliding patio doors on either side. From here there is access to an amply sized fully fitted separate kitchen, which again provides direct access to the rear garden.
A comfortable family room is set across the hallway, the space is entirely versatile and could easily accommodate a home office, formal dining room or snug. A conveniently placed w/c completes the ground floor.
Upstairs
The staircase runs up from the entrance hall and gives access to all first-floor rooms from the landing. There are four double bedrooms on the first floor, all featuring an abundance of handy built-in cupboard space. An amply sized family bathroom is positioned to the rear featuring a white suite and a second shower room is set adjacent.
Outside
The garden can be accessed from the lounge, kitchen, and garage. Every care has been taken in the landscaping of this beautifully mature space. A terrace is well-placed for outdoor dining during the summer and leads on to a central pathway, which meanders past the charming pond, rows of flowerbeds, trees, and vegetable patches. From here there is access to the integral garage which provides enough space for two cars comfortably, with further room available on the driveway.
A dropped curb leading to an old single garage sits at the rear of the property which we believe offers significant development potential subject to the necessary consents.
In the local area
The house sits in close proximity to the green open spaces of Hove Rec and Hove Park where there is an abundance of outdoor facilities ranging from tennis courts, children’s playground and bowling green to a café, picnic area and working model railway. A Waitrose superstore and Tesco Metro are within walking distance and there are many independent shops, cafes and restaurants close by at Seven Dials or in central Hove. The famous seafront is an easy downhill stroll and a great place to spend those summer evenings and weekends. Preston Park, Hove and Brighton Stations offer convenient mainline links for commuters.
Local schools include Lancing College Preparatory, Windlesham and Brighton Girls alongside well rated State Schools including Cottesmore St Marys Catholic Primary, Cardinal Newman Secondary School, Stanford Infants and Juniors, Bilingual Primary School, BHASVIC Sixth Form, and Blatchington Mill, Hove Park, and Kings Secondary Schools.
