Highdown Road, Hove

Guide price £1,000,000 - £1,100,000. This stunning semi-detached home is situated in the sought-after Seven Dials area of Brighton & Hove and has been completely renovated to an extremely high standard in the past eighteen months. Boasting four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, and a courtyard garden it has ample space for a family to enjoy.

The Property - A white picket fence and black and white chequered flooring greet you as you approach this well-presented semi-detached home in Seven Dials. Painted from top to bottom in Farrow & Ball colours and fitted with smart lights and USB plug sockets, this family home seamlessly blends style with practicality.

You enter through the dark grey front door into a spacious hallway, off which is the kitchen and two reception rooms. At the front of the house, with a large bay window, is the more ‘formal’ living room. Painted in a deep blue with striped-back wooden flooring, and a log-burning stove, it offers a cosy environment to spend an evening together. The second reception room is a bright open-plan space off the hallway with built-in shelving and another log burner. It provides the perfect space for an afternoon spent reading, or for working from home.

Venture down a few steps into the dual-aspect kitchen which is bathed in natural light. Brand-new windows and doors frame the outdoor greenery and make this a welcoming space to cook and relax in. Modern sandstone coloured kitchen cupboards contrast with dark worktops and are complemented by pink clay tiles and Farrow & Ball ‘Setting Plaster’ paint on the walls. State-of-the-art appliances and fixtures fill the kitchen, including a Smeg stove and induction hob, Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer with cold water dispenser, and Franke sink with multi-function tap. There’s an area dedicated to utilities, practically situated by the double doors leading to the garden. In the garden, you’ll find mature plant beds, a large shed, a wood store, and a gate leading down the side of the house to the street.

On the first floor are three good-sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is located at the front of the house and has a large bay window overlooking the street. Decorated in neutral colours with grey-painted wooden floors, this room provides a calm environment in which to relax and sleep. An ornate green fireplace surround speaks to the property’s heritage and a built-in wardrobe provides practical storage space. A middle bedroom also has built-in storage, as well as shelving in the alcove. The bedroom at the back of the house has stained wooden flooring and a large window overlooking the garden. No expense has been spared in the immaculate family bathroom which features underfloor heating, textured white subway tiles, a large freestanding bath, and a Burlington sink with Lusso Stone taps.

Stairs lead to the second floor where you’ll find the fourth bedroom and second bathroom with a shower and underfloor heating. Slightly secluded from the rest of the house, this top floor offers the perfect space for guests or a teenager seeking some independence.

This house comes with a very large loft space which provides an additional storage solution or could be extended (subject to planning permission).
