This large, newly renovated four-bedroom detached house on Portland Avenue offers a ready-to-move-in family home with thoughtful modern upgrades and substantial living space (approximately 2,261 sq ft). The loft conversion creates a generous primary suite with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower; the open-plan kitchen/diner with quartz worktops and skylights opens to a newly landscaped west-facing garden—ideal for afternoon sun and family entertaining. Driveway parking for two to three cars adds practical convenience.
The property retains period origins (constructed 1930–1949) but has been comprehensively refurbished to contemporary standards. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. Local amenities are strong for families — several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, Wish Park and Hove lagoon are nearby, and Portslade station is a manageable walk for commuting.
Buyers should note a few factual drawbacks. The cavity walls are assumed to be without added insulation and the double glazing was fitted before 2002, so further thermal improvements could be required to optimise energy efficiency. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect local services and long-term house-price dynamics. Crime is average and council tax is currently unspecified. Overall, this is a high-quality, turn-key family house with scope for further energy upgrades.
