Why you’ll like it:
Formed within a grand mansion house on Church Road, since converted in the 1950's into three separate dwellings, this unique three-bedroom house bears some lovely features and has generous proportions throughout. It benefits from its own street entrance to the side of the building which bears the classic features of the Arts & Crafts period to include ornate woodworks, beams and gables reminiscent of an older time.

Stepping inside, the house feels homely with two bright and spacious reception rooms; one leading from the kitchen, ideal as a formal dining room, while the other faces the front of the house as a cosy sitting room with space for sumptuous furnishings. Rich heritage colours have been used on the walls which suit the space, yet there is huge potential for new owners to put their own stamp on it too.

Well-designed for the space, the kitchen allows for plenty of storage in sage cabinetry, alongside a freestanding fridge freezer, washing machine and a slimline dishwasher, while the oven and gas hob are integrated.

The bathroom, with both a shower and a bath with shower over it, is also on this floor across from the sitting room which would therefore work well as a fourth bedroom if needed, such is the versatility of the space.

French doors lead out to a private walled garden from the dining room to become a perfect extension of the home during summer. For a city centre garden, it does not feel overlooked and has ample space for summer gatherings and dining alfresco. Despite its northerly aspect, it is open to the side receiving plenty of sunshine during spring and summer, and being entirely paved, it is perfectly low maintenance, ready for the busy modern lifestyle.

Elevated on the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double room enjoying a wide bow window creating the ideal space for a dressing table or for working from home. This feature is also found in bedroom two, and both rooms benefit from built in wardrobes to maximise their floor space. Bedroom three sits peacefully on the top floor looking out to treetops and open skies, so you can stargaze as you drift off to sleep.

This unique house is 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 home also offers easy access to the A27/A23 as well as Hove Station with its regular, fast links to the airports and London.
