Summary - 69 SHIRLEY DRIVE HOVE BN3 6UB
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare large detached house with huge gardens and scope to extend in Hove Park.
Substantial detached mock‑Tudor family house, over 3,400 sq ft internal space
A substantial mock‑Tudor detached family house set in an exceptionally large, elevated plot in the sought‑after Hove Park area. The property combines original 1930s character — oak panelling, herringbone floors and ornate ceilings — with generous modern living space, extending over three floors and totalling over 3,400 sq ft of internal accommodation. Upper floors enjoy elevated views towards the sea and the grounds include a secluded 'secret' garden, wide private driveway and detached double garage.
The layout offers flexible family living: three separate reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the rear garden and five bedrooms across the upper floors. The long, mature gardens provide excellent scope for enlargement or a rear extension subject to planning consent (STNPC), making the house suitable both for growing families and those seeking to add value.
Practical points to note: the house is freehold, in a very affluent area with excellent local schools and fast broadband. There is no flood risk and local crime levels are low. The property retains double glazing installed before 2002 and a mains gas boiler with radiators; these features are functional but may benefit from modernisation over time. Council tax is described as quite expensive and any extension will require the usual planning permissions.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, characterful family home on an impressive plot in a highly regarded residential setting. Its size, location and expansion potential will particularly appeal to families seeking long‑term space and privacy close to Hove Park and local schools.
