Lansdowne Place, Hove

Hamlyn Smith are delighted to present for sale this substantial Grade II listed property on Lansdowne Place in the heart of Hove and moments from the beach. With a stucco, bow fronted, exterior and wrought iron Juliette balconies on the first floor, this property is an exceptionally elegant example of early Victorian architecture.

On the raised ground floor there is a living room with two sash windows within the bow-fronted detail that give these properties their distinctive style. The windows have the original wood panelling underneath and the original shutters appear to be in place and could probably be reinstated.

The kitchen is a fantastic size with plenty of cupboards, space for a fridge/freezer, a gas five burner hob, a Neff electric fan oven, and a Bosch integrated dishwasher.

On the first floor, there is a wonderful reception room across the front of the property, with three magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows which open to Juliette balconies. A grand fireplace has a marble surround, cast iron insert and slate hearth. On this floor there is also a lovely, well-proportioned double bedroom, and finally, a large bathroom which has a white suite with a bath, hand basin, WC, bidet and a shower over the bath. Off the landing is a large utility cupboard with plenty of storage space. Climbing to the second floor there are two further bedrooms and another large bathroom. The front bedroom also has three sash windows into the bow of the house with wood panelling under. On the top floor are three further bedrooms, served by another bathroom.
