Why you’ll like it:

Kestrel Close is found within The Martlet Development in Hove which sits to the north of Dyke Road Park on the Brighton and Hove border. Each house is uniform with its neighbours in a Neo-Georgian style with multi-pane bow windows and decorative brickwork, with all sitting back from the road behind immaculate grass verges and driveways.

Uniquely, this house is end of terrace with a door to the side opening to a generous entrance hall with space to hang coats and organise shoes. The eye is first drawn to the living room to the left where a wide bow window almost covers the easterly elevation, dressed in white shutters providing privacy while allowing sunlight to filter through. White walls and wood floors offer a fresh aesthetic to suit all styles of furnishing, for which there is ample space for larger pieces to cosy up on in the evening. Moving through the space, the dining room sits to the rear of the house leading through to a conservatory, allowing for both winter and summer dining areas or for space to work from home if need be. Sliding doors link through to the kitchen, so the entire ground floor has a lovely sense of flow when entertaining.

Streamlined and modern, the kitchen is well-designed for the space to include a wealth of storage in cashmere gloss units alongside an integrated oven and induction hob, leaving space for a freestanding washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer. Herringbone flooring is on trend and slimline stone worktops bring both form and function to the room.

Stepping outside to the south facing garden, a large sandstone patio sits close to the house for easy outside dining in the last of the summer sunshine. An immaculate lawn is ideal for children or pets to play, and contemporary baton fencing provides the perfect base for climbing florals. A well-established bed of roses brings scent and colour during spring and summer, yet the space is nicely low-maintenance, ready for the busy modern lifestyle.

Upstairs, there are two sizable double bedrooms with the principal room spanning the front of the house. Even with a super-king size bed, the floor space is not compromised, so it would be possible to create two smaller double rooms with a partition wall which would add value increasing the total number of bedrooms to three – all food for thought.

This is a beautiful home in a popular location which is well served for parks and schools. There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are only a short walk or drive from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. Two commuter stations and the A23/A27 are also within easy reach, for those requiring fast links to the universities, Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis.
