Every surface and light fitting has been carefully considered to create a beautifully curated space which also feels homely – ideal for family time, relaxation and entertaining in style.

Why you’ll like it:

Goldstone is the prestigious area surrounding Hove Park, characterised by tree lined roads with substantial houses set back behind grass verges.

The area is also just minutes from Hove’s glamorous city lifestyle, and the South Downs National Park is on your doorstep for dog walks and country hikes, so you get the best of both worlds living here.

Originally a 1950s build, it has undergone complete transformation to become the epitome of 21st Century style. Only the finest materials and workmanship have been used in its creation, and the result is exemplary.

The clean lines of Mid-Century architecture and interiors are making a come-back, only this time with a modern twist, bringing together industrial themes, rich block colours and contemporary, statement fittings, all of which this home showcases to perfection.

Stepping inside, you have a wonderful line of sight right through the house through a glazed Crittall style door to the garden beyond. First to the left is the stylish living room with wooden flooring and crisp white walls and ample space for relaxation. Stairs rise up to the first floor from here and there is also access to the generous utility room and striking ground floor wet-room shower room, lined in mustard-yellow wall tiles and urban-grey concrete floors tiles.

The heart of this home is the open plan kitchen and dining room where outside links seamlessly within inside due to a wall of glazing framing garden views. Terracotta floor tiles bring both form and function to the room and which offers space for both formal dining and casual seating alongside a central island. The fan oven and microwave are integrated within a tower for easy access and cleaning, while the induction hob is inlaid to stone work-surfaces, and there is a vast amount of storage in streamlined cabinetry.

Outside, the garden has been considered with as much care and attention as the house, creating a circular lawn for children to play and a stone patio for dining alfresco. It is incredibly private due to clever planning on the borders and the outdoor office is a tranquil haven for working from home. It is a versatile space, however, should you require a home gym, art studio or teenage den.

Returning to the house, there are three beautiful double bedrooms on the first floor, all with polished wooden floors and oversized windows framing green and far-reaching views.

The principal room has a wall of built-in wardrobes, while bedroom two has direct access to the balcony which faces east but is open to the south giving is views of the sea, reminding you just how close to the coast you are here.

All three bedrooms share easy access to the main bathroom with stylish, oblong wall tiles in olive green, paired with mid-century modern wooden cabinets and contemporary white sanitaryware. These include dual sinks and a deep bath with a ceiling mounted rainfall shower above it.

Agent’s thoughts:
This is a stunning home with an immaculate finish throughout. The location cannot be beaten for families or commuters as the nearest train station is Hove which is just a 15-20 min walk away, but if you commute by car, the A23 is just 3 minutes away.

Owners’ thoughts:
“This renovation was a complete labour of love, but we are incredibly proud of the results. It was important for us to ensure the finish was of the finest quality, paying close attention to detail in order to create a luxurious and comfortable home. The location is also fantastic as it is incredibly peaceful, yet you have the quintessential Hove lifestyle on your doorstep - and the transport links are excellent.”
