5 bed detached house for sale

New Church Road, Hove BN3

Guide Price - £1,500,000 - £1,650,000

Magnificent from the moment you arrive, this deceptively spacious 1930s detached family home has been thoughtfully updated for modern living, extended in all the right places, and presented with exceptional style.

The property offers five generous double bedrooms, three bright and beautifully finished bathrooms (including two en-suites), and three elegant reception rooms. The main reception space, positioned at the rear, serves as the heart of the home, featuring full-width bi-folding doors that open onto the expansive, south-facing lawned garden. This beautifully secluded garden also benefits from side access, providing additional flexibility for the recently built studio - an ideal space for those wishing to run a business from home. The studio includes its own shower room and WC, making it perfectly suited as a guest suite, home office, or gym. A large, luxurious kitchen, separate utility room, guest WC, and additional storage room further enhance the home’s practicality and appeal.

Upon arrival, you are welcomed by a grand entrance hall, where the original herringbone parquet flooring flows through much of the ground floor, adding to the home’s character and charm. Since ownership, the property has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, including complete rewiring and replumbing. Solar panels with battery storage have been installed, and an EV charger has been added to the front. All windows have been replaced with modern double glazing. Thanks to these extensive upgrades, the property now boasts a very respectable Energy Performance Certificate rating of C.

Beautifully presented from top to bottom, this home feels warm and welcoming throughout. Plush carpets extend from the staircase across the entire first and second floors, creating a sense of comfort and continuity. Each bedroom is bright and spacious, with ample built-in storage. Of particular note, the top-floor rear bedroom enjoys lovely views out to sea. The family bathroom is exceptionally large, complete with a bathtub and separate walk-in shower. As expected, both en-suites echo the same level of luxury and high-quality finish, ensuring that space and comfort are never in short supply for both family and guests.

Perfectly positioned on the corner of Saxon Road and New Church Road, this property backs directly onto the picturesque Wish Park - home to a charming café open all year round. Just a short stroll away, you’ll find Hove Lagoon, which has recently benefited from extensive investment, now featuring an impressive skate park, tennis and padel courts, and more. Along the beachfront, Rockwater and Babble offer fantastic venues for food, drinks, and socialising by the sea.

Portslade train station is approximately a 15-minute walk away, providing direct services to London in under an hour. Heading east brings you to Church Road, renowned for its vibrant mix of independent shops, coffee houses, pubs, and outstanding restaurants. Portland Road, just north of New Church Road, also offers a great selection of local amenities.

The area is well-served by a variety of excellent schools and colleges - both state and private - all within easy walking distance.
