Not only is this house exquisitely styled, but it conforms to the highest eco specifications for sound and heat insulation, and energy consumption.

The tranquil patio garden becomes a seamless extension of the home during summer and is perfectly low-maintenance, ready for the modern lifestyle.

Hove Beach and Lawns are just a few minutes down the road as are the boutique shops and award-winning restaurants of Church Road. Hove Station is an easy walk for the London or South Coast commute and the local schools are amongst the best in the city with several highly acclaimed private schools also nearby.

Why you’ll like it:

Introduction:
Perfectly positioned within minutes of the beach and the vibrant hub of Central Hove, this exceptional detached house is a gem within the city. Its Modernist style sits in happy contrast with the organic lines of nature and the period properties which surround it, making it feel a million miles from urban life, while in reality, the city is just a stroll away.

Tucked away from the road behind border walls and gates, the house with white render walls and charcoal framed windows are bathed in sunshine from the south. Stepping inside, the fine quality finish and scale of the home become apparent, continuing at every turn. Even below the immaculate aesthetic, the very workings of the house have been designed with cutting-edge technologies and eco-living at the forefront, ensuring this house will stay ahead of its game for many years to come.

Entrance Hall:
One thing is patently clear when you enter this property: no expense has been spared in the quality of finish: maximising the space and light available. The double height aspect within the stairwell allows natural light to stream in from above, casting linear shadows and across crisp white walls while light bounces off the over-sized porcelain floor tiles flowing throughout the ground floor; heated from below. A useful ground floor WC is accessible from the entrance hall – an essential in any shared space.

Open plan Kitchen, Dining & Living Room:
The proportions of this voluminous room give the space a sense of drama and invites entertaining – yet it is also practical for families to come together without feeling on top of one another.
The architect decided upon pale stone hues, ice-white gloss cabinetry and marbled stone countertops to give the space timeless appeal, yet the overall feel is minimalist and contemporary. Recessed to the rear of the room, the kitchen does not dominate the space and comes fitted with a wealth of storage and integrated AEG appliances to include a dishwasher, dual ovens, a tall fridge freezer and an induction hob with extractor fan above. The utility room and larder are separate, so you are not interrupted by the sound of laundry machines.

Within the living space, there is ample room for sumptuous furnishings and a large dining table and chairs. During summer, you can spill outside to the walled garden for dining alfresco through a wall of bi-folding doors on the southerly wall, then in winter, the family can cosy up around the contemporary inset fire.

The Garden:
The transition from inside to out feels seamless with large-scale tiles running across all thresholds. Tall white rendered walls and tropical planting give the feel of the Mediterranean while taller trees provide screening, dappled shade and privacy. It is wonderfully low maintenance out here; yet for those with green fingers, there is plenty of scope to add additional beds or potted plants which will thrive in high-season. Bedroom two also has access to the garden, so you can sit outside on lazy weekends enjoying your morning coffee and papers in the sunshine.

Ground Floor Bedroom & Bathroom:
A generous double bedroom, it benefits from direct access to the garden, so it could be used for a lodger, au pair or as a holiday let as an additional income as it can be completely self-contained if need be. Stone floor tiles with zoned under-floor heating continue from the entrance hall and the en suite is chic with a bespoke basin inlaid to a vanity unit and a rainfall shower to revive you in the morning.

First Floor Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
Soft carpeted stairs rise up to the first-floor galleried landing from which the principal bedroom, principal bathroom and bedroom three reside. The larger room has a double height vaulted ceiling giving it an airy feel and great scale. From the bed, you wake to green views via French doors opening to a glass Juliet balcony, so the cool coastal breeze can flow through during the summer months. Bedroom three is slightly smaller with views of the attractive Regency architecture opposite, and both rooms have direct access to the bathroom. The fine quality finish continues up here with dual basins, brushed gold accessories and an LED backlit mirror for two.
