5 bed detached house for sale

Orpen Road, Hove BN3

This unique detached home is one of the original properties on the road, dating back to c1917. Set on a generous plot, it enjoys open views both front and back over surrounding gardens. With spacious accommodation spread over two floors (2,009 sq ft / 186 sq m), there's also plenty of potential to extend, subject to planning.

Located in one of Hove's most sought-after residential areas, the house is well-positioned for easy access to Brighton and Hove city centres, the seafront, and green spaces like Hove Park and Hove Recreation Ground. It's also within walking distance of both Hove and Preston Park railway stations, offering direct links to central London in under an hour.

The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall, two bright and spacious reception rooms (one opening onto the garden via recently installed French doors), a large eat-in kitchen, and a useful additional shower room. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom with an en-suite. One of the rooms has been adapted as a second kitchen for Airbnb or student lets but could easily be converted back.

Outside, the property offers ample off-road parking, a large integral garage (27ft), and a wide side access. The rear garden is spacious, mainly lawned, and enjoys good privacy.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate both the home and its fantastic location.
