Princes Crescent, Hove, BN3

This detached family home, originally built in the 1920s, was modernised and remodelled by the current owners to a very good standard, creating light-filled interiors perfect for all the family and offering ample spaces for both entertaining and relaxing. Features include, but are not limited to, beautiful wooden floors, characterful inglenook fireplace, large skylight over the dining area, Everhot range cooker, Neptune kitchen with granite worktops, utility room and guest loo.

Whilst the house is already a really good size, having been extended on the ground floor, there remains the opportunity for further extension of the first floor and even into the roof if desired, as has been done in some of the neighbouring properties.

The rear garden has been attractively landscaped and is bordered by mature planting, making for a wonderfully private oasis, ideal for enjoying the warm summer days with family and friends. During the cooler months the Infrared 3-person sauna is the perfect spot to warm up after your seaswim!

At the far end of the garden is a very generous block-paved terrace, and beyond that an exceptionally wide, double garage, ideal for storing vehicles or providing generous space for all the usual garage paraphernalia. It also offers potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.

At the front of the house there is off-street parking on the private driveway as well as another integral garage, which again, provides scope to be converted, in order to provide additional internal accommodation if required.

With the seafront and beach literally at the bottom of the road, the house is located in one of Brighton & Hove’s most sought-after addresses. Local attractions, including Rockwater, Yellowave café and beach sports complex, Babble, the Padel and Tennis courts, Hove Lagoon, and the skate, bike and roller park at Hove Beach Park, are all essentially right on the doorstep.

A pretty timber framed porch and feature stained glass front door give a great first impression. Running from the front to the back, the impressive open plan kitchen and lounge has been thoughtfully zoned, featuring a welcoming seating area at the front with open marble fireplace. The contemporary Neptune kitchen with quartz surfaces give a fabulously spacious feel with plentiful storage that includes a separate pantry. The room centres around a large island for casual family dining and an Everhot four-door range cooker. All integrated appliances are Miele and include dishwasher and wine fridge. The room is flooded with natural light from the large front bay window and bi-fold doors to the rear, via which the space extends onto the terrace, ideal for al fresco dining in the warmer months. The generous sitting and dining room also runs the full depth of the house and provides ample space for living and formal dining, lit above via a modern skylight. Features include bespoke cabinetry for media storage, solid oak flooring and an inglenook fireplace with a log burning stove. The spacious laundry room and separate cloakroom also house a door to the integral garage, completing the ground floor accommodation.

The upstairs accommodation is conveniently arranged around the galleried first-floor landing with wrought iron balustrading. The delightful principal bedroom boast a walk-in wardrobe room and en-suite bathroom, whilst the three further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Outside

Enclosed by brick and stone walls and wrought iron gates to the front, this property makes an inviting first impression with its traditional painted and tile hung façade. Structural planting adds interest and a block paved driveway with integral garage provides off-road parking, with additional permit parking available on Princes Crescent. Accessible via a side gate, the rear gardens are beautifully landscaped and feature a generous paved terrace, summer house, Infrared sauna and generous central lawn area, bordered by a variety of shrubs, blooms and mature trees to add privacy. A pathway leads through the centre to the wide, block paved terrace with a huge double garage – a versatile space for storage or hobbies. Subject to the necessary permissions, it may provide additional living accommodation for extended family.
