Description

Video Tour available upon request | Tucked away on a quiet tree lined crescent in West Hove, is this exceptional, detached family home. It was built during the Edwardian period in 1904, when space, light and functionality were of utmost importance in house design, and this property has all three in abundance. In more recent years, the current owners have renovated throughout using only the finest materials and fittings, so the results are exemplary. With a southerly aspect to the rear, and ample glazing, the light within the house has been maximised, and many of the principal rooms look out over the magical garden which has been expertly designed and maintained. It is a striking feature of this home and is a fine indicator for the incredible care, love and attention which has gone into creating this property in its entirety. With generous reception rooms and four/five double bedrooms, it provides spacious and versatile living accommodation for any growing family, and many or its original features have been retained. It is immediately warm and welcoming, with contemporary touches, so this immaculate home is ready to move straight into.

While the house sits in a tranquil setting, it is incredibly well-connected by road, train and bus to the centre of Brighton and Hove, with the beach and city centre shops accessible on foot. There is parking for up to four cars on the drive and for commuters, Hove Station is an easy walk, and the A23/A27 are just a few minutes away. You are also within catchment for some of the city’s best primary, secondary and private schools, making this a highly attractive and exciting prospect for families and professionals alike.

Why you’ll like it:

Perfectly positioned for families looking to live in luxury and comfort by the coast, in an area surrounded by greenery but with fantastic amenities on your doorstep; this detached house ticks every box. Impressive on the approach, it bears many features from the Arts and Crafts movement which was underway during the early years of the 20th Century. Homes were being built in a traditional style using natural materials and decorative features, and this house has plenty of kerb appeal with charcoal beams on its freshly painted façade and pretty ironwork leading in its windows. It is set well back from the road behind decorative railings and a brick hardstanding with space for three-four cars, and once inside, you are greeted by a wide and welcoming entrance hall from which the true scale and beauty of the house become apparent. Period features continue in here with decorative bannisters, stained glass windows and a beamed ceilings, and solid oak floors flow into the reception rooms to the rear. You also have access to a ground floor cloakroom, deep under stairs storage and the living room to the left.

Living room:

Effortlessly elegant and spacious, with soft wool carpet underfoot and restful tones on the walls, the sitting room is warm and homely for the whole family to come together. With a westerly aspect and a wide bay window looking out to the front of the house, a lovely light filters in during the afternoon, and recessed, underfloor radiators provide warmth without affecting the aesthetics of the room. Throughout the house, the windows have been replaced like-for-like with timber framed double glazing, to include the lead decoration to provide both form and function to the space. Taking centre stage, a cast iron fireplace with decorative tiles has been fitted with a gas fire, adding warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings.

Dining room and kitchen:

Spanning the rear of the house, the dining room has been opened to the kitchen which forms part of a generous extension. Upon entry you get the first glimpse of the glorious garden beyond which becomes a delightful backdrop to the room at any time of year. There is ample space to seat twelve or more in the dining room, with more at the built-in window seat, and while this room is naturally warm due to it southerly aspect, under-floor heating and a reclaimed Edwardian radiator are also in place. Wood flooring makes way for Amtico stone tile effect within the kitchen which has a vaulted ceiling with skylights and a streamlined finish. Taupe matt units have been paired with complementary granite worktops which also form an island, and into these, the sink and induction hob have been seamlessly cut-in. Also integrated within these are the wine cooler, dishwasher, dual ovens with ‘Bake Off’ style door and a plate warmer, while space has been left for an American fridge freezer. Space for a washing machine and dryer can be found in an adjoining room of their own. Bi-fold doors open to link the kitchen seamlessly to the sun terrace; where grey composite wood decking blends perfectly with the tones of the kitchen floor and is incredibly hardwearing, whatever the weather. This becomes a fantastic extension of the home during summer and has offers the best seat in the house for viewing the beautiful garden.

The garden

A quintessentially English Country garden, it is a treat for the senses with scented blooms and herbs; trellises of roses and clematis, and evergreens to add shape and texture to the space. A manicured bay tree forms an orb while the wiegela, wisteria, and liquid amber have blossom and flowers which bring colour through the spring and summer. Within the immaculate lawn there are seating areas to catch the sun or sit in the dappled shade at any time of day, and brick walls ensure privacy. There is a wealth of wildlife who share the space and the large lawn is a dream for children who will have ample space to play. Due to its depth, and being open to the south, it receives plenty of sunshine throughout the day, and while the surrounding beds are already established, the scale of the space allows for further landscaping if desired. It is barely overlooked, so you feel a million miles from the city, in a true haven of tranquillity.

First floor Bedrooms and Bathrooms:

Returning to the entrance hall, carpeted stairs take you past more stained-glass windows to the first-floor landing. There are two exceptional bedroom suites on this floor including the master bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom. The elegant proportions continue the further up the house you go, and the views are restful and green on all sides.

Bedroom two is beautifully spacious, so even with a king size bed and several pieces of bedroom furniture, the floor space is not compromised, and the en suite is contemporary with a vaulted ceiling. Modern white sanitaryware has been paired with urban concrete-grey wall tiles and a rainfall shower is over the bath.

Master bedroom:

Originally two bedrooms, they were opened to create one beautifully designed and spacious bedroom with interlink dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Again, period features and proportions are found throughout, and in the dressing area, full height units offer a variety of storage solutions for every clothing need. Cleverly designed, a mirrored sliding door between the dressing room and bathroom can provide a full-height reflection or alternatively moves across to the dressing table for make-up application – genius.

Within the en suite bathroom, a walk-in shower is in place for when time is of the essence, or a claw-foot bath allows you to while away the hours, nicely tucked away from the hubbub of family life.

Second floor bedrooms:

A further flight of stairs takes you up to the second floor where bedrooms three and four sit peacefully looking out over the city’s rooftops and trees to the south where the i360 comes into view reminding you just how close you are to the coast here. These rooms mirror each other in size and shape, and both have access to the Jack and Jill bathroom which is on trend with metro brick tiling and a shower over the bath.

Behind a folding door in in bedroom three, a sweet hideaway is revealed. This has been used for children to sleep over and also as a sewing room due to the lovely light in here, but it could be a home office or have any number of uses depending on need. Bedroom three also has access to a generous balcony so you can enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine during the warmer seasons.

Agent’s thoughts:

This is the finest property I have seen on this road. Not only is the finish incredible throughout, but the garden is magical, and the plot is larger than most. It is a house with character as well as style, so it really needs to be seen to be admired.

Owners’ secret:

“We have loved every minute of living here these last 7-years, and the garden has been a joy to create. It has taken this long to perfect it and for the plants to become well-established, but we couldn’t be happier with how it has turned out. It is such a joyous place to be with the birds singing and the scent of daphne in the air. We have enjoyed entertaining here too and have found the location to be so convenient with Church Road restaurants within walking distance and Hove Station nearby. We are moving to be closer to our family in London, but we will miss it here.”

Where it is:

Shops: Local 3 min walk, Church Road 10 min walk, Brighton town centre 10 min drive

Train Station: Hove Station 8 min walk, Brighton Mainline 7-8 min drive/cycle

Seafront or Park: Hove Park 5 min walk, Seafront 15 min walk

Closest Schools:

Primary: Hove Primary School, Brunswick Primary

Secondary: Hove Park, Blatchington Mill, Cardinal Newman RC

Private: Lancing College, Windlesham Prep, Brighton and Hove High (GDST)

This stunning home is beautifully situated in a prestigious area with lots of local shops, and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Hove Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast access to the universities, the airports and London.
