For Sale5 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in Pembroke Crescent, Hove, BN3£1,700,000

BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED VICTORIAN VILLA IN HOVE’S ENVIABLE PEMBROKE CRESCENT, WITH FIVE BEDROOMS, TWO RECEPTION ROOMS AND SUNNY SOUTH WEST GARDEN Sitting in the tree lined road of Pembroke Crescent, in the heart of the Pembroke and Princes conservation area, this handsome Victorian semi-detached villa encapsulates the area’s unique architecture in Hove, in terms of its sylvan 'garden suburb' atmosphere, with its gently curving streets and green front gardens. Late Victorian craftsmanship is ever-present, from the geometric stained-glass front door to the elegant cornicing throughout. The ground floor offers two separate reception rooms, providing flexible living: ideal as a sitting room and home office, or a snug and a formal lounge, perfect for families with teenagers. Both rooms feature attractive fireplaces, while the rear reception room opens to the southwest-facing garden through French doors. At the back of the house, the recently refurbished kitchen and dining area balances generous natural light from the garden with the dramatic tones of dark sage green cabinetry, finished with stone white worktops and a beautifully laid herringbone wooden floor for a timeless look. A wrought-iron spiral staircase leads down to a large utility area, with space for laundry appliances and additional storage. On the first floor are three of the five bedrooms. The principal bedroom at the front mirrors the ground-floor bay window and enjoys an ever-changing outlook through the seasons, with a spacious dressing room lined with wardrobes. The two further bedrooms on this floor are both large doubles with original south facing sash windows inviting in masses of sunlight. The family bathroom is modern, with a freestanding white bath, WC and a separate shower, complemented by feature tiles that add a classic finish. A separate WC on this floor adds extra convenience. On the top floor, the remaining two bedrooms are served by a recently installed modern bathroom with shower and WC. The well-chosen Mandarin Stone tiles make this bathroom a bright and sleek space. Stepping out from the rear reception room or the kitchen-dining space, the southwest garden feels like a hidden oasis. This private, walled space includes trellis detailing and a useful side gate providing access to the exterior workshop. The traditional cottage-style garden has well-established borders of roses, hydrangeas and a symphony of colour and interest throughout spring and summer. The workshop/garage is of a classic style and offers excellent storage for tools, bikes and outdoor furniture. Built between 1895 and 1900, Pembroke Crescent represents one of the only large red brick developments in Brighton & Hove. Nestled between New Church Road and the central Church Road area of Hove, this winding crescent is exceptionally peaceful given its centrality and well-endowed with a variety of poplar, elm, sycamore, and chestnut trees. A leisurely stroll down Hove Street will bring you to Hove Lawns, the promenade and beach, along with a parade of local independent amenities on Kingsway which includes the ever popular Franco’s Osteria and Sugardough Bakery. While you’re at the beach the renowned Marrocco’s is close at hand on King’s Esplanade with handmade Italian ice-cream. Perfect for commuters, the A270 is within easy reach, whilst Hove train station with its mainline commuter links is only a short walk from your door. Regular bus services run into the centre of Brighton and Hove, into the outlying areas and up to Devil’s Dyke. Local schools include Hove Junior School, St Andrew’s C of E Primary School, St Christopher’s School, Hove Park School and Sixth Form Centre and West Hove Infants.
