Why you ll like it
Beautifully presented and brilliantly located, this three bedroom family home sits perfectly juxtaposed between the amenities on Boundary Road, Portslade Station and Hove Lagoon. Built during the 1930s, it bears the features of the era with hung tiles, decorative brickwork and bay windows on its semi detached fa ade. Set well back from the road behind a neat brick forecourt, there is parking for two cars and there is side access to the garden and kitchen for bringing in the weekly shop. The property has been subject to a comprehensive overhaul and upgrade including a replacement kitchen, bathroom suite, carpets, lighting, refurbished roof, radiators throughout, internal and external electrics and, where necessary, replacement windows featuring top of the range bespoke shutters.

Stepping in through the front door, the house feels immediately welcoming with a spacious entrance hall with two cupboards for storage. It is clearly a well maintained home with an immaculate finish using a stylish yet neutral palette. First to the right, the sitting room feels homely with an open period fireplace to bring warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings. There is ample space in here for comfortable furnishings so the family can cosy up together in the evening.

Spanning the rear of the house, the kitchen has been opened to the dining room to create one large, sociable space for both family time and entertaining in style which can spill out to the garden during summer. Inside, there is space for a large dining table or a smaller table alongside relaxed seating, while bespoke cabinetry has been built into the alcoves for crockery and glassware. Nearby, the kitchen units are classic in a Shaker style, modernised in cool dove grey and paired with stylish brick tiled splashbacks. Slimline worktops provide ample space for food preparation and below them the appliances are predominantly integrated, while space has been left for a freestanding washing machine.

Outside, the garden is a fantastic size for somewhere so close to the city. It has been landscaped and lawned surrounded by paving and benefits from new fencing. This leads to an evening seating area around a fire pit beside a sweet olive tree at the far end, while a patio sits close to the house for dining alfresco. Mature trees in neighbouring gardens ensure it feels leafy and green throughout the year and it doesn t feel overlooked in the slightest.

Returning indoors, stairs rise to the first floor where there are two sizable double bedrooms with soft carpet underfoot and space for king size beds alongside freestanding pieces of bedroom furniture. Bedroom three is a room single which would be ideal as a tranquil home office of child s room, and all three have easy access to the family bathroom which has a shower over the bath.
As neighbours have shown, the potential is there to create a principal suite or two further bedrooms in a loft extension which is already fully insulated , subject to planning consents which are easier to come by here, outside of conservation area rules.

This is a wonderful family home in a popular location which is well served for shops, the beach, parks and schools. There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are also only a short walk from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. The A27, A23 and Portslade Station are also within easy reach, for those requiring fast links to Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis.
