Clarendon Road, Hove, BN3

Set within the ever-desirable eastern side of Poets Corner, just moments from Hove Station, this beautifully arranged three-storey period home offers a rare blend of character, versatility and modern open-plan living all centred around a sun-drenched south-facing garden.

Behind its classic façade, the house unfolds in a way that feels both practical and quietly impressive. The lower ground floor is the true heart of the home, featuring a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen space where a feature fireplace and an abundance of natural light combine to create an effortlessly social environment. From here, doors open directly onto the south-facing garden, a private and low-maintenance retreat designed for long summer evenings and easy entertaining.

Upstairs, the layout adapts easily to modern living. Three genuine double bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, offering flexibility for families, guests or home working. The principal rooms feel bright and well-proportioned, while the standout family bathroom, complete with a freestanding clawfoot bath, adds a touch of period elegance.

Further enhancing the home’s appeal is the loft space, currently providing excellent practical storage. As seen with neighbouring properties in the street, there is clear precedent for loft conversions and extensions, offering exciting future potential to create additional accommodation, subject to the usual planning consents and building regulations.

One of the home’s more subtle advantages is its dual street access, giving it a versatility rarely found in this price range; ideal for those considering multi-generational living, working from home, or simply wanting a more flexible layout.

Location-wise, it’s exactly where you want to be. Poets Corner remains one of Hove’s most sought-after neighbourhoods with a genuine community feel, excellent local schools, independent cafés on your doorstep, and fast commuter links via Hove mainline station just a short walk away.
