Hill Drive, Hove, BN3 6QL

A beautifully considered home in one of the area’s most sought-after locations.

There is an immediate sense of arrival at this exceptional five bedroom home. Set in the coveted Hill Drive, where the setting and sea views are very much part of everyday life, this is a home that feels both impressive and effortlessly comfortable.

Behind its grand entrance hall, a bespoke staircase makes an immediate impression, setting the tone for the design-led finish found throughout the house. The accommodation then opens into a series of beautifully connected spaces, created with modern living in mind.

At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan living and dining space, with a truly gorgeous kitchen positioned towards the rear. It is a room made for spending time in, whether that is a quiet morning coffee, a long lunch with friends or evenings gathered around the kitchen

There is also a welcome choice of separate living spaces, giving the house a versatility that is increasingly hard to find. The result is a home that works equally well for entertaining, family life or simply having somewhere to retreat to. Practicality has been considered just as carefully. A separate utility room keeps the everyday essentials discreetly tucked away, while the former garage has been thoughtfully transformed into a private gym, adding another dimension to the accommodation without compromising on the home’s sense of space.

Upstairs, the proportions continue. Five genuinely well-sized bedrooms are complemented by two beautifully appointed bathrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying a luxurious four-piece en-suite. Several parts of the home enjoy sea views, adding an ever-changing backdrop to the day and reminding you just how special the location is.

Outside, the garden is a particular highlight. Private and wonderfully secluded, it feels like a natural extension of the house, somewhere to enjoy long summer evenings, children’s play or simply a little peace and quiet. Tucked within the garden is a separate office, thoughtfully designed as a flexible additional space that could work equally well as a studio, creative room or somewhere to work away from the main house.

With driveway parking, excellent bedroom and bathroom accommodation, a wealth of versatile living space and a finish that reflects a clear eye for design, this is a home that requires very little beyond moving in and enjoying it. Turn-key, beautifully finished and offering approximately 2,961 sq ft of accommodation, this is a premium home in a dream location, one that manages to feel considered and sophisticated without ever losing the warmth of a house designed to be lived in.
