Set on one of the largest plots in Woodlands, this handsome four-bedroom detached home combines interwar character with generous family space. The house offers multiple reception rooms, a principal suite with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, and extensive storage across approximately 2,900 sq ft — suitable for growing families who value period detail and flexible living.
Outside, a landscaped tiered garden laid mainly to lawn provides a secluded, sun-drenched retreat with a large patio for entertaining. Driveway parking for multiple cars plus an integral garage answer practical needs. A substantial external pool house sits in the garden but is currently not in working order and would need reinstatement or redevelopment if required.
Significant extension and loft-conversion potential (STPP) are clear value drivers: plans for a rear extension are available and there is scope for a vast loft conversion subject to consents. Buyers seeking further uplift should note renovation and planning work would be needed to realise that potential. Council tax is relatively high and upkeep of a large period property should be factored into running costs.
In a prime Woodlands position, the home is moments from Hove Park, local shops, transport links and a strong mix of state and independent schools. For families after space, character and future expansion potential in an affluent neighbourhood, this property is a rare, sizeable find.
