UNIQUE FOUR BEDROOM TERRACED MEWS HOUSE IN ALBANY MEWS WITH APPROX. 2,688SQ FT OF SPACE. INTEGRAL GARAGE, SPACE FOR TWO CARS, CLOSE TO CHURCH ROAD AMENITIES AND THE SEAFRONT.

Albany Mews offers a rare opportunity to be the custodian of a beautiful period mews house accessed from Fourth Avenue in Hove. Originally designed as a stable and coach house, this quiet private road is Hove’s best kept secret.

Upon entry, you're immediately enveloped in a space defined by character and thoughtful design. The hallway, spacious and currently serving as a study with a large desk, cleverly occupies a side nook. A striking glass brick wall serves as a prominent feature, offering a glimpse into the integral garage while also guiding your gaze towards the reception room. Here, natural light cascades through a window panel above the door, casting warm hues from the afternoon sun. In the West-facing reception room, light pours in from overhead Velux windows fitted with solar-powered blinds, perfect for those bright summer days. Additionally, internal light wells at the rear of the room further illuminate the space downstairs.

Descending to the lower level reveals an expansive open-plan kitchen diner spanning an impressive approx. 10.96M x 8.48M. This area was purposefully excavated for the property, showcasing multi-level dynamics. The kitchen area, with its sleek wooden surfaces, offers a charming view of the shared West-facing patio. The dining space is equally impressive, with ample room for a substantial table and a further space with a pool table! The layout also allows for versatility, as a wooden banquette-style border cleverly delineates a potential lounge area, maximizing the room's utility. Completing this level is a convenient cloakroom plus a separate laundry room, adding to the functionality of this beautifully designed space.

Upstairs
On the first floor, is the first three bedrooms. The primary suite boasts a dressing room and an ensuite equipped with both a bath and shower. Also on this level is the family bathroom, adorned with a sleek combination of black and white tiles and fitted with a shower and bath. Ascending to the second floor, affectionately dubbed "the hayloft" by its owners, you'll find a versatile space perfect for a study or guest bedroom. A large window graces this area plus additional Velux windows, once used for the storage of hay, adding character and charm. There are two floored and lit storage lofts on this level too.

When it comes to shops, bars and restaurants the hubbub of Church Road, George Street and Blatchington Road all offer plenty of choice surrounded by iconic period architecture.
Hove Lawns, Palmeira Square and Adelaide Crescent offer plenty of green open spaces to relax in, while the beach and seafront is never far away. For cricket fans the County ground is found on Eaton Road.

Hove mainline station provides convenient commuter links to London and Gatwick, and regular bus services travel all across the city and up to Devil’s Dyke.

Popular local schools include Brighton College, Lancing Prep, BHASVIC, St Christophers, Hove Junior School, Brunswick Primary School and St Andrew’s C of E Primary School.

What our vendors say:
“The absolute peace here is wonderful, you sit here and hear the birds / see the squirrels scampering about but are so close to everything. Our grandson learned to cycle in the mews, it is a safe quiet place to sit, be with the dog, to enjoy the sun. The peace and quiet of the location whilst being in the middle of the town is wonderful. The downstairs space is always good for meals together, partying and playing pool / table tennis or whatever else you want in that large area. Swimming in the sea at a moment’s notice, swimming at the new Sea Lanes 50 metre outdoor pool or cycling into town are amazing. Many visitors call the house the Tardis as it seems so much bigger on the inside than compared to the outside.”
