Description

**Guide Price £2,000,000 - £2,200,000**

Just moments from the sea and the newly opened Hove Beach Park, Carlisle Road offers a style of family life that is increasingly difficult to find. Morning swims, tennis and padel, coffee overlooking the beach and dinner at Babble or Rockwater are all within an easy walk of the front door.

The house is every bit as compelling as its setting. This handsome, double-fronted Edwardian home provides more than 3,000 sq ft of existing accommodation, with the largest plot on Carlisle Road, a generous west-facing garden and a further 1,266 sq ft of potential space within the loft.

Currently arranged as two apartments, the property has been sympathetically divided with the original staircase and entrance hall retained. Period details, including the decorative hallway tiles and stained glass, also remain intact, making its reinstatement as one house far less intrusive than might be expected.

Planning permission to return the property to a single residence is expected in mid-August. Architect’s plans and structural surveys are available on request, providing the next owners with a clear and well-considered starting point from which to create an outstanding family home.

Exterior and entrance hall
Set behind a walled frontage on the largest plot on the road, the house makes an immediate impression. Red brickwork, decorative tile hanging, deep bay windows and a first-floor balcony give the double-fronted façade real presence.

Inside, the scale becomes immediately apparent. The broad original entrance hall, staircase, decorative tiled floor, high ceilings and stained-glass panels have all been retained, setting the tone for the period detail found throughout the house.

Reception rooms
Two generous reception rooms sit at the front of the ground floor, both with large bay windows and excellent proportions. Original cornicing, timber floors, deep skirting boards and fitted cabinetry add character without limiting how the rooms could be used.

There is space for both formal and informal family life: a sitting room, playroom, study, snug or music room, with the flexibility to change as the family does.

Kitchen, dining and family space
At the rear, the living room connects with the conservatory dining area and kitchen to create a light-filled space overlooking the garden. An open fire with a substantial marble surround gives the room a natural focal point, while French doors provide a direct connection to the outside.

The dining area sits beneath a glazed roof, with windows framing the garden and a natural flow into the adjoining kitchen.

This entire section of the house offers exciting scope for reconfiguration or extension. It could become a huge, full-width kitchen, dining and family space designed around the garden — an expansive and sociable heart to the finished home.

Garden
The large west-facing garden is one of the property’s greatest strengths. Mature trees and established borders provide privacy and a green, sheltered backdrop that feels remarkably removed from the seafront just moments away.

An established plum tree, apple tree and grapevine bring additional character and seasonal produce to the garden. There is ample lawn for children, entertaining and outdoor living, alongside established planting and terraces positioned to catch the afternoon and evening sun.

The existing outbuilding lends itself perfectly to use as a teenage den, home office, gym or creative studio, creating valuable additional space away from the main house.

There is currently off-street parking for one car at the front, with ample room to extend the parking area to accommodate additional vehicles.

First floor
The generous proportions continue upstairs, where the current arrangement includes further bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom facilities.

The floor could be reintegrated into the main house in several ways, including the creation of a large principal suite with dressing room and bathroom, alongside further family bedrooms. The existing layout also allows for multigenerational living or private guest accommodation while any work is completed in stages.

The first-floor balcony offers views towards the sea and along the quiet, tree-lined road.

Loft potential
Above the existing accommodation is a substantial loft measuring approximately 1,265.94 sq ft, with considerable conversion potential subject to the necessary consents.

Depending on the eventual design, it could provide a principal bedroom suite, further bedrooms and bathrooms, a home office or a combination of uses. Its conversion would take the property beyond 4,000 sq ft, creating a luxurious family home of remarkable scale in a prime seafront location.

The location
Carlisle Road places the seafront at the end of the street and the newly opened Hove Beach Park within moments of home. The multi-million pound transformation has created one of the city’s most exciting outdoor destinations, bringing together tennis and padel courts, beach sports, a skatepark, landscaped gardens and open spaces for activity and relaxation.

Babble offers all-day eating and drinking overlooking the sea, while Rockwater, Hove Lagoon, the independent shops and restaurants of Church Road and the beach itself are all close enough to become part of everyday life.

Families are particularly well served by local schools. Primary options include West Hove Primary School and St Andrew’s CofE Primary School. Secondary schools include Hove Park School, Blatchington Mill School, Cardinal Newman Catholic School and King’s School Hove, with Brighton College and St Christopher’s School among the independent options.

Hove, Aldrington and Portslade stations are all within easy reach, providing regular services towards Brighton, Gatwick and London. The A23 and A27 are also readily accessible.

16 Carlisle Road combines remarkable scale, original character, a large private garden and extraordinary proximity to the sea. More importantly, it gives its next owners the freedom to create a home shaped entirely around how they want to live.
