Cromwell Road, Hove, BN3

The property situated on Cromwell Road is a stunning and recently fully renovated family home, situated in a prime Hove position between the seafront and the area’s expansive recreational spaces. The property is built in the Tudor Revival style, with the traditional Victorian black and white front elevations, and was constructed in the early 1900s before being converted into two apartments. In 2022 it was transformed back into one house, offering substantial accommodation of 3500 sq ft over two floors. Extensive renovations have included a two-storey extension to the rear, external landscaping, all new cosmetic décor and new kitchen and bathrooms – the standard is exceptional throughout. Though fully modernised and offering all the desired ‘extras’ of a premium executive home, the house retains excellent character including all the original fireplaces.

The accommodation is immaculate: stone floors, clean white walls, bespoke shutters on the windows and plenty of built-in storage makes the rooms feel light, bright and airy. The neutral colour palette throughout makes the house ready for immediate occupation and gives a fantastic opportunity for the new owner to personalise as they see fit. No expense has been spared on the fixtures and fittings, and the kitchen and bathrooms are a particular highlight featuring attractive tilework and premium materials. The accommodation is versatile and well planned, with the ground floor featuring a formal reception room for entertaining and a vast, open plan living space for relaxed family life. This is zoned for a kitchen, dining area and space for seating, and has additional service rooms including a pantry, lockable wine cellar and utility room leading to the garage. On the first floor, the principal bedroom is huge and is accessed via a fitted dressing room, with the added benefit of a terrace and an en suite bath/shower room. There are two further bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor, with an extra two bedrooms and a shower room on the second floor.

Outside

The house has great kerb appeal, with a traditional ‘Mock Tudor’ appearance from the road, off-street parking on a coveted in-and-out driveway (rare for the area) and further parking within an integral single garage. To the rear the house is very different: contemporary replaces traditional, with a fantastic extension (only partially seen from the front) featuring tall Crittal-style windows inset within clad and rendered elevations. There are two substantial terraces: one raised, adjoining the house, and the other at ground level leading to the good-size lawn, which is bordered by trees and shrubs in raised beds. The principal bedroom also has its own private elevated terrace, and there is a small cellar for storage which is accessed externally.

Situation

St Ann’s Well Gardens is two streets over to the east, where there are tennis courts, a playground, nursery and café, while Hove recreation ground and Hove Park are about a mile to the northwest, with sports pitches and perimeter paths popular with runners and dog walking. There is a wealth of green space locally, aside from these, including The Copse, South Downs National Park and Devil’s Dyke, numerous golf clubs and sports clubs. Local schools include Hove Juniors and Brunswick Primary, secondary schools Cardinal Newman Catholic School, Hove Park, and Blatchington Mill. Hove station is about 0.6 miles, with fast services to Gatwick airport and London.
