Princes Crescent, Hove

A stunning 5 bedroom detached family home in a prime location just moments from the sea front, with sea views and off road parking.

Originally built in the 1930s, 5 Princes Crescent is a fine and substantial detached family house with white rendered elevations under a clay tiled roof.

The house was extended and comprehensively improved in 2007, and offers over 3,700 sq ft of well-proportioned, stylish accommodation, arranged over three floors and ideally suited to modern family life.

There is a spacious entrance hall, which has floorboards painted in a striking chequer pattern, and a door opening to the comfortable sitting room, with a wood burning stove and fitted shelving. Beyond lies a superb open plan living area comprising a large family room with exposed beams and a wood burning stove, a dining room with bi-fold doors to the terrace, and a bespoke kitchen by Hartley Quinn Wilson, featuring an excellent range of painted wooden under-counter cabinetry, granite surfaces, space for a gas range cooker and a central island with an integrated dishwasher.

To the rear is a formal dinning room with garden access, a well-equipped utility room also with garden access and a cloakroom.

On the first floor, all the bedrooms have sea views. The dual aspect master bedroom is situated at the front of the house, and has the benefit of a large south facing balcony and an en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms on the first floor, served by a bathroom and a separate shower room. On the second floor, the stunning loft guest bedroom has an en suite bathroom and access to the eaves storage. From this room, a reduced height doorway opens up to a fully boarded loft room, also accessed via ladder from bedroom four.

The property is set behind a tall rendered wall, with a pair of solid oak gates opening to the off street parking and the detached garage, and a pedestrian gate opening to the steps to the front door. The detached garage has oak doors and power connected. A gate opens to the fully enclosed rear garden, which is predominantly south-east facing and mainly laid to lawn with established shrubs and herbaceous borders. A brick paved terrace offers space for table and chairs.

There is a detached office with power and heating at the end of the garden.

Ideally located for well-regarded local schools, Wish Park is to the West in addition to Hove promenade and seafront which are just at the bottom of the road.
