Ground floor
Wilbury Gardens boasts a picture-perfect approach; the impressive yellow brick and brilliant white façade creates an instant wow factor that is equally matched by the interior of this elegant coastal home. Set on a quiet road near to Hove Park, a timeless checkerboard tiled path sits in front of this handsome Victorian residence. Sympathetically decorated throughout with double bay sash windows and a classic arched doorway, this is a beautiful example of contemporary living in a period property.
On entering via the porch, an excellently preserved hallway with exquisite wood flooring, detailed cornicing and intricate original overdoors provides access to all ground floor rooms as well as offering a handy spot to store outdoor shoes and coats in a discrete under stair cupboard.

To the front are two wonderfully presented reception rooms, the second has been masterfully opened up into a double room with the dining area to the rear. An exquisite and vast selection of period features are seamlessly united in a pristine shade of white; distinctive east facing bay windows pour morning light into each room accentuating the space with numerous period fireplaces and working log-burners posing as a focal point.

Encompassing a substantial portion of the ground floor is the large open plan kitchen/family room. Arranged in a classic island design, this shaker style kitchen decorated in corresponding shades of grey for a sophisticated finish, complemented by sleek white countertops and polished steel handles. The kitchen has the benefit of a double range cooker, a range of integrated appliances including an enviable wine cooler as well as ample countertop and cupboard space. Offering capacious proportions, the room has been cleverly constructed taking full advantage of space and light to allow distinctive areas for dining, cooking and relaxing. Reaping the very most from the afternoon sun, a multi-pane roof lantern and folding glass panelled rear wall overlooks the garden, allowing for a smooth transition for outdoor living. A separate utility room, pantry and cloakroom complete the ground floor of this impressive home.

The staircase runs up from the entrance hall and gives access to all first and second floor rooms from the landing.
