For many years, Poets Corner has remained one of the most popular locations for families to live in Hove. The Victorian terraces lend themselves well to family living and there is so much to enjoy within easy walking distance, from parks, to beaches, museums and shops.

This house sits in the ideally placed close to Stoneham Park but nicely tucked away from the main shopping thoroughfare of Portland Road. This terrace is unique within the area in an Arts & Crafts style rather than classic Victorian with a tall, beamed gable and decorative bargeboards. It is attractive on the approach, set back slightly from the road behind a low battlement wall, providing the perfect place for refuse and recycling off the street.

Stepping inside, the interior design is considered and styled with current trends and the original character of the house in mind. Glazed double doors open to the first reception room, which was once two rooms, since opened to create one dual aspect space with tall white walls and clearly defined areas for formal dining and relaxed seating. The fireplace is original with lemon and terracotta tiles to add a pop of colour to the chimney breast which has deep alcoves either side, ideal for bookshelves or cabinets.

Moving through to the kitchen, the space has been well-designed to offer a huge amount of storage alongside integrated appliances, while leaving space and plumbing for a washing machine and a dishwasher. White worktops form a breakfast bar with seating for two to become a second social space for drinks and informal meals.

Both the dining room and kitchen lead out to the garden giving the ground floor a sense of flow during summer where there is ample room for dining alfresco. As with many homes in the area, these are ‘city’ gardens with tall walls and low maintenance paving, yet this garden also has deep flower beds should you wish to add colour and a bay tree giving privacy and shade from neighbouring homes.

Returning inside, there are three double bedrooms on the first floor with the principal room spanning the front of the house with painted floorboards and an easterly bay window looking out over the peaceful street. Bedrooms two and three enjoy leafy garden views and all are double glazed for added warmth and quiet. They share use of the family bathroom which has a modern take on a period style using metro brick wall tiles and traditional sanitaryware.
