Summary - 14 MELVILLE ROAD HOVE BN3 1TH
6 bed 2 bath Terraced
Spacious six-bedroom home with south-facing garden and strong commuter links.
Double-fronted Edwardian terrace with high ceilings and bay windows
A handsome double-fronted Edwardian terraced house arranged over four floors, offering spacious period rooms and abundant natural light from full-height bay windows. The layout includes three reception rooms, a large principal suite on the top floor, cellar storage and a south-facing paved garden — a rare external space for this terrace. Its location in Seven Dials places shops, cafés, parks and good schools within easy walking distance, and Brighton station is around a 10-minute walk for commuter convenience.
The property suits families or investors seeking a sizeable home with character and scope to add value. Many original features remain — high ceilings, sash-style bays, cornices and fireplaces — but the living room and kitchen require modernisation to meet contemporary expectations. There are six bedrooms but only two bathrooms (one en-suite), so reconfiguring or adding facilities could be a sensible upgrade for family use or to increase rental income.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and cellar storage. The mid-terrace plot is small and rear outdoor space is paved. Some building fabric likely lacks modern cavity insulation, and council tax is above average. The immediate neighbourhood has a lively, cosmopolitan student and cultural mix and recorded crime is above local average — something to weigh for family purchasers or lettings strategies.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located property with clear refurbishment potential for those wanting central Hove living and the opportunity to improve comfort and value through targeted modernisation.
