Description
Set back from the road, the property welcomes you with a spacious brick-paved driveway offering ample parking for multiple vehicles. A hedge-lined front garden enhances privacy, while a wide verge adds to its impressive curb appeal. Inside, the bright and inviting hallway, featuring a wide staircase and a large half-landing window, floods the space with natural light. Here, you’ll find access to a WC and a storage area, which houses the heating system and was originally the garage.
The heart of the home is the remarkable 34' full-width kitchen/family room, designed for both functionality and entertaining. This space features sleek quartz countertops, generous storage, and premium appliances, including a Zip tap providing instant boiling or chilled water. With two sinks for food prep and cleaning, it’s perfect for modern living. Bi-fold doors lead to a full-width sun terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces.
The terrace, equipped with an electric awning, is ideal for enjoying sunny afternoons or shaded relaxation. Beyond, the south/west-facing garden offers a private and serene retreat, with mature trees, shrubs, and bushes creating a lush backdrop. A versatile outbuilding in the garden is perfect as a home office, gym, or workshop. Additional practicality is provided by a utility/laundry room with external access, while the separate front living room offers a cozy space for quiet evenings.
Upstairs, the property boasts four spacious double bedrooms, including a master suite with a contemporary en-suite bathroom and underfloor heating. The recently modernized family bathroom also features underfloor heating and both a luxurious bathtub and a separate shower. The rear bedrooms offer breathtaking 180° views, stretching from the sea to the Downs, with Worthing Pier visible in the distance.
This home also offers scope for future expansion, with the potential to extend to the rear and into the loft space (subject to planning permission) to create additional accommodation, making it a flexible long-term choice for growing families.
This location is ideal for families, with an excellent selection of private and state schools within walking distance. Options include Lancing College Preparatory School, The Drive Preparatory School, St Mary’s Primary School, Bilingual Primary School, Cardinal Newman, Hove Park, Blatchington Mill Secondary Schools, and BHASVIC College. Brighton College and Brighton Girls School are also within easy reach. There are a range of green spaces nearby with Hove Park and Hove Recreational Ground both within walking distance.
