Greyfriars, Hove

Set within the established Greyfriars development in Hove, this substantial seven-bedroom detached home offers over 3,600 sq ft of versatile accommodation, generous outside space and a wonderfully private setting. With multiple reception rooms, spacious bedrooms and a layout that can adapt to different needs, it's a house well suited to larger families, multigenerational living and those looking for more room to work from home. 

Set back from the road behind a sweeping driveway, the house has an attractive Tudor-inspired exterior, combining brickwork, timber detailing and pitched rooflines. Mature planting softens the frontage and provides privacy, while the generous driveway and double garage offer plenty of space for parking. 

Inside, a spacious entrance hall connects the principal ground-floor rooms. The accommodation is arranged to offer a balance between open, sociable spaces and quieter areas to retreat to. A generous lounge provides a comfortable setting for everyday living, while a separate snug and additional reception room offer flexibility for family life, whether that's a playroom, more formal sitting room or somewhere to spend a quiet evening. 

The kitchen and dining room is one of the most impressive spaces in the house. With a vaulted ceiling, roof glazing and large glazed doors opening directly onto the garden, it has a wonderful sense of light and openness. The contemporary kitchen sits alongside a generous dining area, with plenty of room for a large table and more informal seating. It's a natural gathering place, equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining, particularly during the warmer months when the doors can be opened to the garden. 

A second fitted kitchen adds further flexibility to the ground floor, particularly useful for larger households or those accommodating extended family. A shower room, separate WC and useful storage complete the practical side of the accommodation. 

The seven bedrooms are all generously considered, offering a variety of sizes and configurations to suit different needs. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms can comfortably accommodate family, guests or home working. Additional bathrooms serve the rest of the accommodation, and the abundance of natural light throughout gives the rooms a bright, comfortable feel. 

Outside, the rear garden is a significant part of the property's appeal. Large and wonderfully private, it's bordered by mature trees and established greenery, creating a peaceful outlook and a real sense of separation from neighbouring homes. Broad areas of lawn provide plenty of space for children to play, while paved terraces offer places to sit, dine and entertain. With direct access from the kitchen and dining room, the garden feels closely connected to the main living space.
