Description
Deceptively spacious with three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and two beautiful reception rooms, this terraced house in West Hove will appeal to families and professional sharers alike. For decades, families have been flocking to live in this area for its favoured school catchment, commuter station and excellent amenities. For such a central location, this is a peaceful road, bathed in natural light from east to west, filtering into the house throughout the day, before landing in the pretty west facing walled garden as the sun goes down. Having been expertly renovated and extended, the interior feels contemporary, yet many original features remain, both inside and out, giving this home a stylish aesthetic which will appeal to anyone looking to move straight in with ease. The beach is a short stroll down the road, and there are several parks and Regency Garden enclosures within walking distance, making this property a very attractive prospect for many.

With its own Facebook group Four Streets in Hove, and a predominance of family homes, this area has a welcoming atmosphere and a palpable sense of community. It is characterised by Victorian terraced houses in restful shades, running north to south towards the coast. Sitting mid terrace, bearing the architectural features of the period, this house has a smart canted bay facade in white with an original tiled path to the door.
Stepping inside, a long entrance hall stretches the depth of the house giving you a line of sight through to the garden beyond. To the left, the living room and formal dining room were once two separate spaces, since opened to create one light and airy room offering complete flexibility. The neutral decoration is immaculate, lending itself to many styles of furnishing for relaxation, working from home, dining or as a play space for little ones. The feature fireplace has not been used, so it would require professional investigation prior to use, but is an attractive feature in the room as a mantel.
Dual aspect windows bring in plenty of natural light with French doors on the westerly wall opening to the garden which becomes a welcome extension of the home during summer. This gives the ground floor a lovely sense of flow when entertaining outside, yet potential remains to extend into the side return, creating a larger kitchen and family room to the rear, subject to planning consents.
The kitchen is another beautifully bright and spacious room opening completely to the garden on its westerly elevation with windows also running along the southerly side. Gleaming white cabinetry is paired with dark floor tiles and black stone worktops for a complementary monochrome scheme with integrated appliances to include dual ovens, a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer and a gas hob below an extractor. There is ample space for formal dining in here by the patio doors bringing some of the outside-in for spring and summer suppers, or you can spill outside to the faux grass patio for drinks and dinner alfresco.
It is a real suntrap outside being open to the south while facing west to catch the last of the summer sunshine. For a city garden it is a great size with an area of lush green lawn surrounded by well-established plants which bring scent, colour and shape to the space. It is fairly low maintenance with plenty of scope for further landscaping, as plants and wildlife thrive here.
Returning to the house, there are two comfortable double bedrooms and the family bathroom upstairs on the first floor. Bedroom two spans the front of the house with a deep bay window to mirror the one below it. Even with a king size bed, the carpeted floor space is not compromised allowing for freestanding bedside tables and drawers. Bedroom three is also double with peaceful garden views, and both rooms enjoy easy access to the stunning bathroom. This is a tranquil haven with a freestanding contemporary bathtub which comfortably seats two. For when time is of the essence, there is a separate shower to revive you before work in the morning.
A further flight of stairs takes you up to the principal bedroom suite which has been created in the loft space but has a full width dormer it feels wonderfully light and airy up here. There is a chic en suite shower room, a deep walk-in wardrobe, and a large Velux window allowing for stargazing as you drift off to sleep, so it’s a lovely retreat to come home to after a long day.
This Victorian terrace is wonderfully stylish and deceptively spacious, situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and the parks are within easy reach, and this spacious house also offers easy access to the A27/A23 as well as Hove Station with its regular, fast links to the airports and London.
