Prinsep Road, Hove, BN3

Personally brought to market by Russell Chilvers, offering a one-to-one property service from first viewing through to completion.

For those who appreciate period charm and original detail, this beautiful Victorian family home, built in 1896 and set on one of Artists’ Corner's most coveted roads, is an absolute must-see. Having retained much of its original character and layout, this fine house offers over 1,100 sq. ft. of internal living space, complemented by a secluded south-facing garden. In recent years, the property has benefited from significant electrical and roofing upgrades, giving the incoming purchaser an excellent home and/or excellent foundations should they wish to make the house their own.

Offering comfortable living whilst being presented in good condition throughout, this home still offers plenty of scope for a new owner to add their own style and personality over time. There is also potential to extend up into the loft and out to the side, subject, of course, to the usual planning consents.

The ground floor currently comprises two reception rooms and a sizeable kitchen-diner to the rear, along with a separate downstairs WC. Each room is bright and airy, with wooden sash windows, while both reception rooms retain their original fireplaces and floorboards. Of particular note is the magnificent floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the rear garden and beyond.

The south-facing rear garden is a substantial size and feels wonderfully secluded, making it a real retreat, while to the front of the house there is a small, raised garden providing an attractive approach to the property.

Upstairs you’ll find three double bedrooms, all generously proportioned and again retaining plenty of original character, alongside a family bathroom. The houses on Prinsep Road benefit from large loft spaces, currently providing an excellent place to store all that stuff you always think you’ll need but never do! Should an additional bedroom and bathroom be required, there is potential to extend into the loft to create an impressive principal suite. Other configurations and layouts are, of course, possible, all subject to the necessary permissions.

Prinsep Road forms part of an exclusive collection of five distinguished residential roads known as Artists’ Corner, a close-knit and highly sought-after community just moments from both Hove and Aldrington railway stations, with fast and convenient links into London. Hove Park and Hove Recreation Ground are within a few minutes' walk, while the enviable Poets Corner enclave is close by, offering an excellent choice of independent pubs, cafés and coffee shops. The vibrant shops, restaurants and amenities of Blatchington Road and Church Road are conveniently local, along with a number of excellent schools and nurseries, making this a truly coveted address.
