POPULAR HOVE PARK LOCATION, CHALET BUNGLAOW STYLE
SHIRLEY DRIVE OFFERS A HOME WITH SEA VIEWS, A LARGE GARDEN AND PLANS FOR OPEN PLAN KITCHEN LIVING ROOM EXTENTION.
Nestled in the heart of Hove Park, this spacious and inviting family residence has undergone recent extensions, offering a bright and sunlit ambiance with distant sea views from both floors, boasting breathtaking sunsets year-round.
The home features a generously sized garage at street level, while a brief ascent of steps leads to the main residence, elevated from the road for ultimate privacy along Shirley Drive. Both the front and rear gardens have been meticulously landscaped, adorned with a variety of shrubs, trees, and flowers, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Recent upgrades include new windows, an outdoor lighting scheme, and a remote-controlled, fully electric garage door. There are building plans and steels ready for a ‘phase two’ ground floor extension (details on Brighton & Hove planning portal using reference BH2003/03195/FP)
Upon entry, you’ll be greeted by a grand hallway, seamlessly connecting the various living spaces. The expansive lounge flows into a separate dining room, with large glass doors providing views of the lush garden. Additionally, there’s a year-round conservatory perfect for unwinding. The spacious ground floor boasts a newly fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar and integrated cooker, hob, and fridge freezer. Plans have been drawn for a rear kitchen extension (under permitted development), with steel beams already in place for this future enhancement.
The ground floor also hosts three double bedrooms, including a spacious guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. A second bedroom, currently utilized as a home office, offers captivating distant sea views and a serene ambiance and third bedroom, tucked away for peace and quiet.
Ascending the staircase from the hallway, you’ll discover two more bedrooms and bathrooms. The master suite is a private retreat, offering stunning vistas over Hove and the sea. This well lit sanctuary includes a beautifully designed bathroom with exquisite Spanish tiles, a separate shower, and a luxurious rolltop bath. The other sizable bedroom on this floor features a large window overlooking the expansive garden. Adjacent is another bathroom, also adorned with fun tiling.
The expansive sunny East facing garden is beautifully maintained with mature borders. A stepping stone style path leads to an additional private patio area, a calm setting for long summer evenings. Additional storage is tucked away in the brick-built shed, well placed for all garden maintenance needs.
Within a five-minute stroll, you’ll find yourself at the child and pet-friendly Hove Park, or among the delightful shops of Woodland Parade, featuring a Post Office, the Nine Vines wine bar, a coffee shop, and a restaurant. For your convenience, Waitrose is also within walking distance.
