4 bedroom Terraced House for sale

Offers over £700,000

Payne Avenue is one of the quieter roads in the enduringly popular Poets Corner area of Hove. A corner shop and the Stoneham Bakehouse are a few minutes walk away, as is Stoneham Park, which is well loved by younger and older children alike, and has a community-run café called The Snug. On Portland Road, there is such a variety of shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs it is hard to think what might be missing. If you need a small supermarket, a pharmacy or post-office, you will find it here, but there is also a whole host of specialist independent retailers, some of them local institutions such as Ackerman’s Music shop or Lawrence’s Art Supplies. The George Payne pub is further up Payne Avenue, which is a friendly local pub. You are close enough to stroll along for a quick drink or something to eat fresh from the excellent pub kitchen, without being near enough to be disturbed at closing time. Families have chosen this area for years, it has a strong community identity, with well-regarded West Hove Infant school and Hove Junior Schools nearby. Older children are in catchment for both Hove Park and Blatchington Mill Schools. Aldrington station is a five-minute walk, for Southern services to London and the South East, while Hove station can be reached in just over 15 minutes on foot, from where fast trains run to London Victoria.

This delightful four-bedroom family home is arranged over three floors. On the ground floor is a large through reception room with folding wooden doors that enable it to be used as two separate rooms. In the front room, there is a beautiful fireplace with a cast-iron insert and an elegant mantelpiece. The back room has french doors onto the garden and has been opened up to the kitchen-breakfast room. These reception spaces are really versatile; with the double doors open the family can all be connected while meals are prepared, but there is also the sense that the three rooms are separate areas that can be used independently of each other. Wooden floors connect the hall, kitchen and the rear reception room, giving a wonderful continuity to the space. The kitchen has enough room for a large dining table, there are wooden painted units and space for a large five-burner range. There is a further door to the garden from the kitchen. The garden faces due south and so gets sunshine all day when the sun is out. On the first floor at the front of the house, there is a large double bedroom which has both a bay window and a further single-sash window, making it a light and spacious room. Built-in wardrobes are positioned on either side of the chimney breast. Another double bedroom has an outlook over the garden and at the back of the house there is a fantastic family bathroom with a free-standing double-ended bath, and a separate shower. Adjacent to the bathroom is a utility room where the washing machine and dryer have been accommodated and there is useful storage space and shelving. The top floor of the house is a large loft conversion. There are two double bedrooms, the bigger of the two has an ensuite shower room, elegantly designed with large soft white tiles on the walls and decorative ceramic tiles on the floor. The second double on this floor has far-reaching views over the roof-tops and a glimpse of the sea.
