Style: semi-detached 1930s houseType: 4 double bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom + WCLocation: St Ann's Well GardensFloor Area: 1577 sq.ftOutside: west facing rear garden; open to the southParking: off street parking for 2-3 carsWhy you'll like it:Sitting within the leafy environs of Central Hove, on the border of St. Ann's Well Gardens and just a few minutes more to the beach, this substantial, semi-detached house is perfectly positioned for families with children of all ages. Homes built during the 1930s had the family unit in mind, offering generous reception rooms for the family to come together, or for entertaining, plus large gardens for summer gatherings and playtime. This house is archetypal for the era with four sizable double rooms and two sun filled reception rooms, and it is set well back from the road by a pretty front garden. There is parking to the front for up to three cars with steps down to the door. Stepping inside you are welcomed into a bright and spacious entrance hall where there is space for hanging coats and organising shoes. The house is full of character with a wooden staircase turning up to the first-floor rooms, and wood laminate flooring flows throughout the ground floor for continuity. The scale of the house is immediately clear, and it has clearly been well-maintained by the current owners. From the generous entrance hall there are two very spacious reception rooms; almost equal in size and mirroring one another. To the front, the living room has a gracious bow window facing east to bring in a bright morning light, and there is an open fireplace to warm the room during winter. Next door, the dining room has a summery feel with French doors looking out over the rear garden to the west, so you can spill outside for dining alfresco as the weather warms, or there is another fireplace fitted with a gas fire for cooler nights. As versatile rooms, they can be interchangeable depending on need, and either could be used as a play room, work space or bedroom if need be. The kitchen to the rear of the house is well-equipped with appliances to include a range cooker within the original hearth, and plenty of storage, so you can move straight in with relative ease. It is here, to the rear of the house, where the potential to extend is huge. It would be possible to create a large, open plan entertaining space with a kitchen and seating area leading out to the garden, without compromising on space. Planning consents would need to be sought, but it is not a conservation area, so they are easier to come by all food for thought. As it stands, the garden is a wonderful space for children to play as there is plenty of room for children's play equipment and the border walls are original in red-brick which adds to the character of the space. Mature trees ensure it is barely overlooked and with a westerly aspect it is a real suntrap throughout the day. Sitting in such leafy surroundings, it is hard to believe you are so close to the city here. A turning staircase leads to the first-floor landing where there are four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The larger two rooms echo the footprint of the reception rooms below them while there are two further smaller double rooms; one to the front and the other to the rear. The family bathroom has an electric shower over the bath and is easily accessible from all bedrooms, plus there is a separate WC an essential in any shared space. While the decoration is in fine fettle, it would be possible to modernise in areas to add value.From the landing, a hatch pulls down with steps leading up to the large boarded loft. This would be ideally converted to create either two further bedrooms or an expansive principal bedroom en suite, from which the views across the city would be exceptional.Agent's thoughts:While this house is well-presented and spacious as it stands, the potential for further extension to add considerable value is huge. The location is also key with exceptional schools nearby plus the beach and parks on your doorstep. Owner's secret"This has been a wonderful family home where we have loved to entertain over the years. The garden is a joy during summer as it catches the last of the sunshine, and the convenience of the location is wonderful. We love being able to walk to the restaurants on Church Road in a few minutes, or down to the beach which is lovely all year round, then the park hosts some wonderful events during the summer. We simply no longer need the space, but we will miss it here hugely."Where it isShops: Local 1 min walk, city centre 12 min walkStation: Brighton Station 15 min walk, Hove Station 10 min walkSeafront or Park: St Ann's Well Gardens 1 min walk, seafront 8 min walkClosest Schools:Primary: Brunswick Primary, Stanford Infants and Junior SchoolsSecondary: Hove Park, Blatchington Mill, Cardinal Newman RCSixth Form Colleges: BHASVIC, Newman College, Varndean CollegePrivate: Brighton College; Windlesham Prep.This is a vast and impressive family home sits in a popular location which is well served for shops, parks and schools.
