In More Detail Arranged over three storeys and situated on a highly sought after avenue, crisp white walls and the deep warm tones of a wood floor instantly create a warm and welcoming first impression. The soft neutral colour scheme provides a consistent and elegant design theme, allowing a beautiful amount of natural light to flow throughout the house.
Ground Floor A rich wood floor stretches out across the wide hallway into a large main reception room, effortlessly combining with wood framed double doors. Wonderfully lit from a south-facing leaded bay window, a contemporary wall-hung fireplace adds an eye-catching focal point, while this incredibly versatile and sociable space opens onto the adjacent dining room.
Set in a stunning open plan space, the generous proportions of an architect designed kitchen easily accommodates a wealth of Shaker style wood cabinets. Well-appointed with an integrated Bosch tower oven, gas hob and wine store, there‘s ample room for a US style fridge-freezer. The grey tiled floor flows onto a large dining room creating ample room for a family sized table beneath a wide feature skylight, while wood framed bi-fold doors open onto a paved patio, perfectly extending this sociable space still further.
A separate utility room and WC completes the ground floor.
First Floor On the half landing a large double bedroom benefits from dual space potential as a guest room or home office.
Echoing the simple graceful design theme of the ground floor, a master bedroom offers sea views from its leaded windows. A wall of stylish fitted wardrobes provides plenty of storage, while an en suite bathroom features a large walk-in shower.
Across the hallway, a spacious double bedroom continues the calm and relaxing feel, enjoying light from its French doors which open onto a decked balcony. A further double bedroom on this floor offers additional views of the garden and ample storage in its fitted beech wardrobes.
The curved walls of the family bathroom combine with a classic roll-top bath and curtain ring to engender the style and elegance of the art deco era, while a marble tiled floor adds a final feeling of luxury.
Second Floor Offering an impressive sense of light and space, the top floor of this expansive home provides the perfect retreat for teenagers and guests alike with its bedroom and study areas, whilst also offering the potential to become a bespoke bedroom suite (subject to the correct consents).
Outside The bi-fold doors of the open plan ground floor open directly onto a landscaped patio which stretches across the full width of this home offering an ideal space for entertaining and relaxing on sunny afternoons.
Secluded and peaceful, a well-kept lawn is encompassed by a mature array of hydrangeas, fuchsias, euphorbia and roses along with a loving chosen selection of evergreens. Steps lead up to a raised decked terrace providing an ideal vantage point of an outdoor space which offers something for everyone and allows you to enjoy the sun to your hearts content.
The deep decked balcony on the first floor creates an ideal space to enjoy a cup of coffee in the early morning sunshine and looks down to the dining room below via the feature skylight.
At the front of the property a wide driveway and garage offers private off-road parking for approximately five cars. Raised shingle beds create a contemporary and easy to maintain first impression and a classic red rose adds a splash of colour to the doorway.
What the Owner Says "We love the feeling of being in a solid house with a fantastic amount of light and space.
This house is lovely to entertain in. We‘ve had sixty guests at barbeques and even if it‘s rainy you can just open up the doors in the dining room and still enjoy the feeling of space and openness. Here you have the ability to entertain a house full of people at Christmas and enjoy each other‘s company during the day yet still have the space to spread out and be on your own for a while.
In the morning it‘s lovely to wake up to uninterrupted views down to the sea and sit and have a coffee on the first floor terrace.
We‘ll definitely miss the peacefulness, our neighbours and the fresh air as well as the wonderful sea views."
In the Local Area Sitting near to Hove Park there is an abundance of outdoor facilities close at hand ranging from tennis courts, children‘s playground and bowling green to a café, picnic area and working model railway.
