Brimming with potential to add considerable value, this three-bedroom, semi-detached family home sits in a hugely popular area close to Central Hove and Portslade. The transport links are excellent by car, bus or train and there are several good schools within walking distance. Inside, the rooms are generous and naturally light due to a southerly aspect to the rear which also brings in far reaching views over the city towards the coast. The rear garden is a great size for families and there is a huge amount of off-street parking on the drive ? it ticks a lot of boxes.

Positioned on Old Shoreham Road, just a few minutes from Portslade Station and Boundary Road amenities, this generous home offers excellent value for the location. Originally built during the 1930s, it has large, light-filled rooms ideal for both family time and entertaining. While some modernisation has taken place, there remains huge scope for further renovations and reconfigurations, both inside and out.

The house is set back from the road behind a deep driveway with space for at least four cars. While the road to the front is fairly busy, the house is screened from it and once inside, it is the tranquil views over the garden to the rear which will impress. The entrance hall is welcoming with storage for coats and shoes to keep the home clutter free. To the left is the sitting room which is homely and warm with an open fire bringing both heat and atmosphere to winter's nights, where there is ample space for the family to feel cosy on soft furnishings.

Spanning the rear of the house, the kitchen is in fine shape with modern, gloss units, plenty of workspace and storage, leaving space for freestanding appliances to include a cooker, fridge freezer and a washing machine. The family dining table sits below contemporary pendant lighting, and alcoves are ideal for dressers or cabinets to house crockery or glassware.

Stepping outside, the decked terrace is raised looking out over the long garden lawn, which facing south, is the ideal place for garden games. You can dine alfresco on the decking or in the garden, in the dappled shade of the trees, then store your garden furnishings in the shed or below the house in the large cellar space. There is plenty of scope for further landscaping for the green fingered or to extend the house into the garden without compromising on outside space ' all worth consideration.<
