About this property

A charming detached period cottage in a desirable area of Hove close to road and rail links, with sea views and pretty gardens.

A much-loved home for 40 years, 10 Woodlands is a delightful property situated at the end of a leafy nothrough road in a well-connected position in the north of Hove. The Turner-style house is tucked away amongst mature greenery and feels fantastically secluded, with lovely gardens to the front and rear. The elevated position means there are far-reaching views from the upper floors back over Hove towards the sea. The house was built in 1951 and has been attractively decorated, with character features such as restored walnut and mahogany floors, a remodelled Welsh slate and oak open fireplace and a full-height entrance hall with a feature staircase. The vendors have made a number of upgrades over the years, adding a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system, insulating the cavity walls and loft and upsizing the radiators ready for installation of a heat pump, if desired. The result is a stylish, comfortable and energy-efficient home that’s ideal for professionals, retirees or small families, and there is great potential for further improvement in the future. As an added benefit, the house is sold with no onward chain.

The accommodation is spacious and well-planned, arranged over two floors to include an open plan sitting and dining room, a well-appointed kitchen, cloakroom with WC and a garage with internal access which provides great scope for conversion (subject to consents). Upstairs there’s a principal bedroom with built-in storage, a family bath and shower room and a good-size guest bedroom with en suite. In addition there is access to the eaves for storage.

Outside
The house is situated on a landscaped plot of about one third of an acre, with private driveway parking to the front leading up to the attached garage.
The gardens are west facing and stocked with a wide variety of ornamental and fruiting trees and shrubs, bedding plants and flowers. There are two terraces for garden furniture and a summerhouse, shed and
workshop for storage.

Situation
Woodlands is a quiet, leafy cul de sac situated off Dyke Road Avenue, perfectly placed for commuters using the A27 or Preston Park Station, which is just 0.7 miles with
footpath access. Hove Park is close by for walking and recreation and there is a pharmacy, pubs, cafes and day-to-day stores located around the Dyke Road area.
Cardinal Newman school and Cottesmore St Mary’s Catholic Primary are the closest schools, while much of Brighton and Hove’s array of excellent schooling can be reached on foot or by public transport.
