Lots of original period detail: high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces

This double-fronted Edwardian semi delivers over 2,540 sq ft of classic period living a short walk from Hove’s seafront and Church Road amenities. High ceilings, sash bays, original fireplaces and ornate woodwork create generous, characterful rooms across three storeys — ideal for family living or a multi-bed rental conversion.
The west-facing rear garden is a standout: a paved terrace and large lawn that catch afternoon and evening sun. A huge loft offers clear potential for conversion (subject to consents) and there is scope to extend further, increasing living space and value for growing households or investors.
Practical points are upfront: the house currently has a single bathroom for six bedrooms and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for modernising heating/insulation and possible additional bathrooms. Council tax is described as quite expensive, reflecting the central location. Overall, this is a rare, substantial period home with significant upside for those prepared to carry out sympathetic updating.
