This historic family estate in Hove, available for purchase for the first time since 1962, sits on an elevated plot that boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and expansive mature gardens. This mid-century property presents a unique opportunity for significant renovation or redevelopment (subject to planning permission), making it ideal for those seeking to modernize or expand.
Accessed via a sweeping driveway, the home's striking presence is complemented by a large garage and plenty of off-street parking. The grand entrance hall features a double-height ceiling and an impressive staircase, setting an inviting tone as natural light streams in from rear-facing windows that overlook the spacious gardens.
The ground floor provides a blend of formal elegance and adaptable living spaces, including a private study at the front and a living room with floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to a raised terrace—an ideal space for both entertaining and relaxation. A formal dining area connects seamlessly to a sunlit kitchen/breakfast room equipped with ample storage and an adjoining utility room. The addition of a sunroom enhances views of the scenic garden space, while a guest W/C serves this level's functionality.
On the upper level, the principal suite offers an oasis of luxury and seclusion with two walk-in wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom, and its own roof terrace showcasing stunning sea views. Additionally, three further double bedrooms and two family bathrooms provide versatile accommodation options.
The gardens are particularly noteworthy, featuring vast lawns, mature trees, and various 'garden rooms' designed for leisure or play. A detached pool house presents potential lifestyle enhancements with its indoor pool, jacuzzi, kitchenette, and changing facilities.
With its prime location, stunning perspectives, generous living areas, and classic mid-century architecture, this property stands as an extraordinary prospect for families or developers aiming to create their dream home in prestigious Hove.
