The approach to this eye catching French teal coloured building sets the tone for the unique style that this home affords. The entrance to this home is light, bright and airy with a clever design enabling a wider than average entrance with plenty of space to hang coats and store shoes. From here, a clear glass mid century doors leads to the double reception room. Plantation shutters, wood flooring and a fabulous bespoke bookshelf make this an idyllic and tranquil retreat. Scope exists to create a further bedroom in this space if so inclined.

Stairs lead down to the most wonderfully designed 22 ft kitchen/diner . Very much on trend and oozing a quality finish, features include a solid wood parquet floor cut and fitted by a local artisan, high spec Siemens integrated appliances, hot water tap and water softener with a hidden utility area. The bespoke industrial concrete style effect kitchen with oversized quartz worktop is a delight. This space really is the hub of the home and boasts plenty of space to cook, dine and entertain.

From here, bi-folding doors lead to the re-landscaped Moroccan inspired, terrace and garden with a design nod to the Brighton Pavilion. Perfect for summer bbq gatherings, there is also a pergola. Worthy of mention is the delightful outdoor cloakroom. Glamping at its finest!

There are two double bedrooms on the first floor with a lovely family bathroom and a nautical window. The top floor has the idyllic principal with fabulous ensuite, bespoke storage and great views.

This Victorian home is situated on a quiet street in the popular Poets Corner area of Hove. Positioned in this favoured, safe and central location, the property is within immediate proximity of Hove mainline station with direct links to London as well as the George Street market shops. The vibrant restaurant and shopping district of Church Road in central Hove is just 10 minutes on foot.

Designed to exacting standards with oodles of creativity this is a must see property and an all time favourite!!

What the owner says.....

We fell in love with this house at first sight for its unique and modern character that set it apart from others in the Poets Corner area.

The ground and lower ground floors have been cleverly transformed to create spacious and light rooms - the metal beam running through each becoming its own stylish feature.

The kitchen has an undeniable ‘wow’ factor and it's been a joy to cook and entertain here. When the bi-fold doors are thrown open, the kitchen and garden feel combined into one - perfect for parties.

In the summer months, the garden patio is a perfect sun trap with light from dawn to dusk, and the electric lighting and pergola make it a cosy spot even after sunset.

The location is superb, just a short walk to our favourite places like Hove Park, shops and restaurants on Church Road, and the seafront. It’s well-connected with buses into central Brighton, and of course only minutes from Hove Station with direct trains into London and to Gatwick Airport.

We will miss it!
