A beautifully reimagined five-bedroom Edwardian family home extending to approximately 2,399 sq ft, combining original period character with exceptional contemporary living space, a private mature garden, separate home office and an impressive top floor.
Behind its handsome red-brick, bay-fronted façade lies an exceptionally spacious and individual Edwardian home, thoughtfully arranged across three floors and filled with an uplifting combination of period detail, natural light and confident contemporary design.
The entrance immediately establishes the character of the house, with patterned flooring, decorative stained glass and a colourful staircase leading through the accommodation. At the front, the generously proportioned sitting room is framed by a broad bay window with fitted shutters. A log-burning stove, decorative fireplace and stained-glass detailing create a warm and inviting room for both everyday family life and relaxed entertaining.
The centrepiece of the home is the outstanding kitchen, dining and family room, measuring approximately 24'4" by 20'4". Bespoke green cabinetry, extensive preparation space and a long peninsula with breakfast seating combine style with excellent practicality. There is ample room for both formal dining and a comfortable seating area, while full-width glazed doors draw in an abundance of natural light and open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between the house and its outside space. A beautifully finished shower room with concealed utility facilities completes the ground floor.
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own distinctive character, alongside a separate home office. Several rooms retain attractive fireplaces, bay windows or fitted storage, while a family bathroom and separate WC serve this floor.
Occupying the entire upper level is a particularly impressive room measuring approximately 28'10" by 19'3". Currently offering highly flexible accommodation, it would work equally well as a principal bedroom suite, creative studio, games room or additional family space. A Juliette balcony overlooks the surrounding rooftops and greenery, while extensive eaves storage provides valuable practicality.
Outside, the established rear garden feels wonderfully private, with mature trees, palms and planted borders creating a leafy backdrop. A decked terrace immediately adjoining the kitchen is ideal for outdoor dining, with a lawn and further seating areas beyond. Useful gated side access adds further convenience.
Raphael Road is a highly regarded Hove address, close to the independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities of Richardson Road and Portland Road. Hove and Aldrington stations, well-regarded schools, Hove Lagoon, the seafront and Hove Beach Park are all within convenient reach.
A substantial yet welcoming home with personality in abundance, this is an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking generous family accommodation, versatile working space and a private garden in one of Hove’s most appealing residential locations.
