Brittany Road, Hove, BN3

On a leafy, tree-lined road between the Kingsway and the amenities of New Church Road, Brittany Road is perfectly positioned. The station is just over half a mile north and Wish Park is two streets over to the east – for families, or couples, the location is top notch. The semi-detached home is a traditional 1930s ‘Cook’ build typical of the area, and hugely popular for its solid construction and endless potential. The house has many of its original features, including picture rails, stained glass windows and the classic three-panel doors, and offers excellent scope for improvement, with masses of potential to extend to the rear or into the roof (subject to permissions – planning permission was previously granted for a loft conversion, but has since expired).

The house has been in the same family for over 40 years and has been a much-loved family home. Over the years it has been updated with double glazing and cavity wall insulation, but much of its period character remains. Its layout is fantastic for entertaining, with two reception rooms plus a conservatory and separate kitchen which could be opened up with the sitting room to create a big, open plan space. The ground floor also has a storage space and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, the three bedrooms can all accommodate a double bed and two have built-in storage. The family bathroom has both a bath and shower, and there’s a useful storage cupboard on the landing

Outside

To the front there’s a driveway with space for two cars and access to a secured covered storage area - perfect for sporting equipment such as bikes & paddle boards. The rear garden is fully enclosed and feels very restful, with a small terrace adjoining the house, a good-size lawn and shrubs all around the borders. To the rear there’s a detached workshop and an office – the latter is ideal for working from home.

Situation

Situated off the Kingsway, moments from Western Lawns and Hove Lagoon. Here you will find the recently opened skatepark, pump track, roller rink, tennis and padel courts alongside the existing water sports. A hub for families and sports enthusiasts with cafes and restaurants. And from there the esplanade provides a seaside walk to Hove offering a wide variety of restaurants, pubs, and shops. And on to Brighton, with its array of attractions and beaches, in total just three miles east.
Wish Park is only a 5-minute walk with a community fruit and veg garden, play area, café and sports pitches. Hove Park, covering 40 acres, is equally popular with local residents, dog walkers and runners. And the South Downs is a short cycle ride or walk.
Portslade station is located 0.6 miles to the northwest and has trains to London Victoria and Gatwick Airport. The area also provides an excellent bus service to the centre of Brighton and beyond. There are local shops 0.4 miles to the west including 2 supermarkets. Local schooling options include Brighton Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College, Hove Junior School, Hove Park Secondary School and Sixth Form and St. Nicholas Primary School.
