Description

This four-bedroom detached property, designed by the notable architect Harold Turner during the interwar period, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a sought-after area of Woodlands. The home is set on one of the largest plots on the street, offering ample space for potential expansion subject to planning permissions. The property features a large driveway accommodating multiple vehicles alongside a garage, complementing its visually appealing exterior. Inside, while there are some updates already integrated, there remains considerable scope for further enhancement. The ground floor includes various reception areas, a practical downstairs WC, and a utility room adjacent to the kitchen, all providing generous room for entertaining or family life. The expansive garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature plants and a sizable patio area that promises privacy and sunlight; however, it also houses an external pool house that is currently out of service but could be revived or transformed into additional living space (STPP). The principal suite stands out with its en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, while the remaining three bedrooms offer ample size for family use or guest accommodation. Located close to Hove Park along with convenient shops and transport links, this residence appeals to families seeking proximity to quality schools. With existing plans for an extensive rear extension plus potential for a loft conversion (subject to necessary approvals), this property offers a rare blend of historical charm and modern potential waiting to be unlocked.
