Cissbury Road, Hove

Located on Cissbury Road, just moments from Seven Dials, this beautifully proportioned five-bedroom semi-detached house blends period character with thoughtful modern updates, creating a spacious and elegant home in one of Brighton & Hove’s most convenient and well-loved neighbourhoods.

From the outside, the house has real presence, set behind a well-kept front garden and approached via a mosaic tiled pathway and covered entrance. Inside, high ceilings, stripped wooden floors, ceiling roses and period fireplaces create a warm and welcoming feel, with the proportions and detailing typical of Brighton’s best period homes.

The ground floor is centred around a through sitting and dining room, a bright and sociable space with a large bay window at the front and doors opening onto the garden at the rear. It’s a room that naturally adapts to both everyday living and entertaining, with the two areas flowing easily into one another.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room forms another important living space. Fitted with modern units, wooden worktops, a Rangemaster cooker and a breakfast bar, there is plenty of storage and workspace, along with room for a breakfast table. Double doors open directly onto the garden, making this part of the house particularly enjoyable during the warmer months, when inside and outside living naturally come together.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are arranged across two floors, creating a layout that works well for family life while also offering flexibility for guests or working from home. The principal bedroom sits on the first floor with a large bay window and period detailing, while two further double bedrooms are positioned to the rear alongside the family bathroom, finished with emerald green tiling and a claw-foot bath.

The top floor provides two further bedrooms, including a more private suite with far-reaching views towards the sea, along with a shower room and useful eaves storage, making this level particularly well suited to older children, guests or a quieter principal suite.

Outside, the west-facing rear garden has been arranged for low-maintenance outdoor living, with paved and shingled areas, a pergola, a wooden shed and side access back to the front of the house.
