Woodlands, Hove, Brighton & Hove

Listed 1 Oct 2026 · Hove
GUIDE PRICE - £1,500,000 - £1,600,000 Situated in central Hove, close to the seafront, a rarely available SEVEN BEDROOM, DETACHED HOUSE with FOUR BATHROOMS, a generously-sized rear GARDEN, a GARAGE & a DRIVEWAY. Set back from the road behind a substantial driveway with parking for several vehicles, this detached house has been a much-loved family home for many years. Full of character and offering an exceptional amount of space across three floors, it’s a home that has clearly evolved with family life over time, and now offers a wonderful opportunity for its next owners to make it their own. A substantial porch opens into a large hall, where stained-glass detailing gives an immediate sense of the character found throughout the house. The main reception room is a fantastic space, with a curved bay window and feature fireplace, while the kitchen has an abundance of fitted storage and worktop space, centred around a large island. From here, the room flows through to the dining room, which has another beautiful curved bay and doors opening onto the garden. There’s plenty of flexibility downstairs too, with a further room currently used as a bedroom but equally suited to an office, playroom or additional reception room. A cloakroom and direct access to the integral garage complete this floor. Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits to the front of the house and has a large curved bay, fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. A second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, while another opens onto a private balcony. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, one currently used as a study, together with the family bathroom. The second floor adds another dimension to the house. Currently arranged with a bedroom, open-plan lounge and kitchen and a shower room, it could work particularly well for extended family or older children wanting a little more independence. Alternatively, the space could easily be adapted to suit the needs of the next owners. The garden feels very much part of the home, with bi-fold doors from the kitchen and further doors from the dining room opening directly outside. It’s a great size, with mature trees and established planting, along with two terraces providing plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining. With its generous driveway, integral garage and an incredible amount of flexible living space, this is a home that has been enjoyed by the same family for many years, with plenty of character and scope for its next owners to make it their own.
