Why you’ll like it:
You would be forgiven for not knowing that this magical mews even exists, let alone this sensational detached home. It is hidden behind attractive timber gates which open to reveal its true splendour. Designed by renowned local architect Alan Phillips, this contemporary home meets all the aesthetic and ecological requirements of 21st Century construction. It has been built within the Willett Estate Conservation Area, so it was required to conform to their constraints, meaning its visibility from the road and from neighbouring homes needed to be minimal. To this end, it was built below the level of the cobbled mews, but its clever design ensures that natural light from the south streams in.
The Cubic exterior is a merry fusion of white render, glass and yellow gault brick; in keeping with the neighbouring Victorian homes. In contrast, the crisp lines of the building have been picked out in black, and the effect is immediately impressive as you enter. You approach down some stone steps with glass and brushed steel balustrades and into the sunken patio. This becomes a wonderful extension of the house during the summer as two sets of bi-folding doors open the ground floor to the outside, and it is perfectly private due to its position and smart planting above the high walls.
You enter centrally to the ground floor where the kitchen is to the right, and the spacious living and dining room sits to the left; separated by the staircase to the first floor. Gleaming floor tiles in dove grey unify the space and neatly tucked away is a separate WC. Oblong cut outs within the stairwell allow the light to filter through creating interesting shadows and shapes as it does so.
Handle free, buttermilk units in the kitchen provide ample storage and these are topped with slate-grey worktops to complement the metro brick tile splashbacks. Under the counter, the dishwasher, fridge freezer, electric oven and gas hob have been integrated, and it is an easy transfer from the cooking area to the dining table on the opposite side of the room. While this floor is incredible during summer, it is also a warm and private haven during the cooler months where you can cosy up on comfortable sofas in the seating area.
Carpeted stairs lead the way to the first-floor landing which butterflies out below a vast skylight. To the left there are two, beautifully bright double bedrooms with full height windows looking out to the patio garden which share use of the shower room found along the hall to the right. This is on trend with urban-concrete wall tiles and a generous rainfall showerhead behind the fixed glazed shower door.
Turning right from here you arrive in the master bedroom suite. The southern wall is entirely glazed, but it is the en suite bathroom which provides the real ‘wow’ factor. A frosted glass column projects from the front of the building, and it is within this you’ll find the wet room shower. Controlled by remote, the water cascades from the over-sized, ceiling mounted shower head for a truly unique and reviving showering experience.
This is a stand-alone property in one of the most sought-after locations in the city. It has both style and function in abundance making ideal for those wishing to live the quintessential Hove lifestyle by the sea.
Agent’s thoughts:
Incredible design and engineering have gone into creating this home in a hidden city space, and it is as impressive as it sounds. It is both light and spacious, plus the location cannot be beaten.
