Honey Croft, Hove, East Sussex, BN3

Set at the far end of this desirable cul de sac, is a house with real scale, both inside and out. There are four bedrooms, a choice of living spaces, plenty of parking and, at the back, a garden that completely changes the proposition.

Inside, the light is one of the first things you notice. It moves through the ground floor and gives the main living spaces an open, relaxed feel.

The kitchen sits at the centre of it all, with a large island that works equally well for breakfast, homework, cooking or gathering around with friends. There is plenty of preparation space and storage, with a dining area for sitting down together and an informal living space alongside it. It feels open and sociable, but each area still has its own purpose.

Next door, the main sitting room offers somewhere calmer to retreat to. Doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, making the outside space feel like a natural extension of the house. There is also a downstairs WC on this level.

Upstairs are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned at the rear, overlooking the garden, and includes built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The three remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for children, guests or working from home.

At the front, the driveway has room for two cars, with a separate garage positioned to the side of the house.

The garden is what sets this home apart. It is unusually large, mostly laid to lawn and feels remarkably private. The current owners say it was the garden that sold the house to them, and it has remained at the centre of their life here.

Beyond the space already here, there is exciting potential to take the house considerably further. The size of the plot creates scope to extend the ground floor footprint, while the loft could potentially accommodate an additional bedroom and bathroom. Any alterations would, of course, be subject to planning permission and the necessary consents.

It is a house with enough room for everyday family life, but also the space to bring people together and create the sort of memories that make somewhere feel like home.

Please note that some of the rooms have been cosmetically updated since these photographs were taken.
