A substantial red-brick Victorian house positioned directly opposite Hove Recreation Ground, ideal for an active family lifestyle. The property delivers over 2,500 sq ft of flexible living across multiple floors, with five double bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an elegant bay-fronted reception room that retains period cornicing and high ceilings.
The heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area fitted with NEFF appliances and a large island, leading through French doors to a sun-soaked south-facing garden with a large patio and separate garden studio — perfect for home working, a gym, or teenage retreat. Off-street parking is provided by a brick-paved driveway and a private garage, useful in this convenient, well-connected location a five-minute walk from Hove Station.
Buyers should note the house’s traditional construction: solid brick walls with assumed no added wall insulation and double glazing installed before 2002. These original fabric elements may require insulation or window upgrades to improve energy efficiency and running costs. Overall maintenance and updating are likely if buyers wish to modernise fully.
Set in an affluent, low-crime area close to good schools, cafés and commuter links, this family home blends generous period proportions with ready-to-enjoy modern features. It will suit buyers seeking space, character and potential to personalise for long-term family living.
