Large family home near Hove seafront with garden and scope to extend.
Detached 1932 house with four bedrooms and two reception rooms
An impressive 1930s detached house on Park Avenue offering generous family accommodation across two main floors and a large loft. The principal bedroom with bay window, three further bedrooms, two reception rooms and a full-width kitchen/breakfast room flowing into a conservatory create flexible living space for family life and entertaining. The west-facing, well-planted rear garden, elevated tiled patio and off-street parking for two cars add outdoor appeal and practicality.
The house retains many period features such as stained glass and bay windows while offering sensible modern conveniences including a utility room, garage with bike storage and mains gas central heating. The substantial loft and the potential to extend (subject to planning) present clear scope to increase living space or add an extra bathroom to better suit a growing family.
Buyers should note some material points: the EPC is rated E and the original cavity wall construction is assumed to lack insulation, so energy and heating costs may be higher without retrofit work. There is only one family bathroom plus a separate toilet for four bedrooms, and council tax sits at a high band. These are practical factors to weigh alongside the house’s size, location and extension potential.
Situated less than a quarter-mile from Hove promenade and within easy reach of excellent schools, local shops and rail links, this home suits families seeking a large, characterful house in a very desirable area with room to modernise and add value over time.
