Description

This Victorian house situated in the desirable Poets Corner area of Hove presents a noteworthy opportunity for both comfortable living and renovation potential. With its classic architecture and modern features, the property offers a bright interior thanks to its well-chosen light decor and Farrow & Ball accents. The kitchen breakfast room stands out with dual aspects that invite plenty of natural light, while the south-facing patio provides excellent options for outdoor dining or relaxation. The low-maintenance gardens at both the front and rear offer a canvas for further landscaping or personal touches. Entering the home, you'll find charming original features such as painted floorboards leading into an inviting reception space highlighting a cozy wood-burning stove—perfect for gathering on cooler evenings. The two spacious bedrooms are flooded with light, offering a bay window in the front bedroom and serene views from the second bedroom overlooking the garden. A generously sized bathroom featuring both a shower and bath adds functional value. While many original details like elegant dado rails and ceiling cornices remain intact, there is significant scope for improvement throughout, including possibilities for loft conversion or extensions (subject to approvals). This property not only serves as an attractive residence but also represents an excellent investment opportunity in a sought-after location near transport links, recreational areas, schools, and local amenities.
