Woodlands, Hove, East Sussex, BN3

Nestled in one of Tongdean’s most sought-after locations, this charming family home offers the best of both worlds — the tranquillity of a countryside setting with the convenience of city living just moments away. Surrounded by leafy greenery and the calm of a traditional English garden, you're also within easy reach of Hove’s vibrant cafés and the buzz of Seven Dials.

Originally designed by the renowned architect Harold Turner during the interwar years, this four-bedroom detached home seamlessly blends timeless character with modern comfort. It’s brimming with charm, featuring solid wood floors throughout the ground level (currently covered), along with beautiful period touches like original fireplaces that add warmth and personality.

Step through the front door into a spacious and welcoming hallway that immediately sets the tone. From here, the layout flows effortlessly into a stylish kitchen and dining area — perfect for family meals or entertaining guests.

The separate living room is a bright and relaxing space, with windows at both ends flooding the room with natural light and drawing attention to the home’s original features. A convenient ground-floor WC adds to the practicality of everyday living.

Upstairs, the impressive main bedroom is bright and inviting, complete with its own en suite and a luxurious walk-in wardrobe that gives it a boutique feel. Three additional bedrooms offer plenty of flexibility — ideal for children, guests, or a home office. They’re all served by a family bathroom.

A large attic space offers further potential, with scope to convert (subject to planning) into a spacious principal suite, additional bedroom, or home studio.

Outside, the secluded garden is a true retreat — perfect for summer barbecues, peaceful mornings, or a safe place for children to play. Tucked away in the garden is a large timber cabin that once housed an indoor pool. This versatile space could be reimagined as a guest annex, gym, home office, or even returned to its former use.

Rounding off this fantastic property is a generous driveway and garage, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles — ideal for growing families or those who love to entertain.

With its blend of classic charm, thoughtful updates, and exciting potential to expand, this is a rare opportunity to secure a unique home in one of the area’s most desirable settings.
