This substantial five-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home offers nearly 2,000 sq ft of flexible family living across three floors. High ceilings, large sash windows and period cornices bring character and light to principal rooms, while a generous reception and separate kitchen/dining create practical everyday space. The fifth room can serve as a study, nursery or guest room to suit changing household needs.
Outside, a private east-facing garden provides a quiet spot for morning sun and small-scale outdoor entertaining; the plot is modest, so outdoor upkeep is low. The property is freehold and located on a tree-lined Hove street, a short walk from Church Road shops, Hove Station, local schools and the seafront — convenient for family life and commuting.
Buyers should note some energy and maintenance considerations typical of older homes: the property has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, so updating windows and wall insulation would reduce running costs. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high, which may affect security and insurance costs.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home in a prime Hove location with clear potential to modernise and improve energy performance. It will particularly suit buyers seeking period features, flexible accommodation and proximity to schools, transport and the beach, and who are comfortable investing in targeted upgrades.
