Shirley Street, Hove

Guide Price £550,000 - £600,000
A fantastic opportunity to purchase a three-bedroom Victorian terraced house on Shirley Street, ideally located just a short walk from Hove Station. Arranged over three floors, the property has a south-facing patio garden and a welcoming, well-presented exterior.

The house makes a strong first impression. Recently decorated, the bay-fronted Victorian façade is neat and tidy, with steps leading up to a smart front door on the raised ground floor.

Inside, the layout provides flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs. The entire lower ground floor is dedicated to a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, featuring an attractive terracotta tiled floor. The kitchen sits at the rear, with ample cabinetry, a freestanding range cooker with extractor hood, and space for a full-height fridge freezer and washing machine. A door from here leads directly to the garden. At the front, the living area centres around a fireplace, creating a natural focal point.

On the raised ground floor there is one bedroom and a generously sized bathroom. The bedroom, positioned at the front with a bay window and stripped floorboards, could also serve as a second living room or home office. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite including both bath and separate shower, hand basin and WC, complemented by striking blue mosaic wall tiles.

The top floor accommodates two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the house at the front, with a three-sash bay and an additional window, ensuring excellent natural light. The second bedroom is a comfortable double with a view over the rear gardens.
