6 bed detached house for sale

Carlisle Road, Hove BN3

Guide Price £2,000,000 to £2,200,000....A striking Edwardian freehold home offering approximately 3,000 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, set on one of Carlisle Road’s most desirable plots with a west-facing garden, off-street parking and superb potential.

Originally built as a grand single residence and now arranged as two separate flats, the property presents a rare opportunity to create an exceptional family home in one of Hove’s most sought-after residential roads. The scale, character and flexibility of the layout make this a particularly exciting prospect, with scope to reconfigure the accommodation, modernise further and potentially extend into the loft space, subject to the necessary consents.

The house has an impressive and handsome Edwardian frontage, with red brick elevations, decorative tile hanging, bay windows and a charming first-floor balcony giving it real kerb appeal. Internally, the property retains a wealth of period detail, including high ceilings, elegant cornicing, original fireplaces, exposed timber floors, stained-glass panels and a beautiful tiled entrance hall that immediately sets the tone.

The ground floor offers generous and beautifully connected living space, including an elegant front reception room with a bay window, fireplace, high ceilings and period detailing. From here, the accommodation flows through to the rear lounge area and into the spacious kitchen/dining room, creating a superb family layout with a lovely sense of openness. The kitchen is fitted with a breakfast bar, timber flooring and excellent space for dining, while the garden-facing dining area enjoys plenty of natural light and direct access out to the west-facing rear garden, making it a natural hub of the home.

The first floor continues to offer excellent proportions, with further bedrooms, a separate living room, kitchen, bathroom facilities and balcony access. This floor also enjoys plenty of natural light and offers considerable flexibility, whether retained as separate accommodation or brought back into the main house as part of a substantial family residence.

Outside, the west-facing rear garden is a wonderful asset. Mature planting, lawn, patio seating areas and established borders create a private and leafy setting, ideal for children, entertaining and summer evenings. There are also useful outbuildings/stores, adding further practicality.

Carlisle Road is highly regarded for its attractive Edwardian architecture, strong community feel and excellent position close to Hove seafront. Rockwater, local cafes, shops, schools and transport links are all within easy reach, while Church Road, Hove Lagoon and the wider seafront amenities are also nearby.

With its combination of scale, period charm, garden, parking and future potential, 16 Carlisle Road represents a rare chance to secure and shape a landmark family home in a prime Hove location. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, character and opportunity on offer
