In brief

With its distinctive terracotta hanging tiles and square fronted bay windows, Colbourne Road was built on the turn of the 20th century. Reassuringly elegant, all rooms are generously proportioned with high ceilings and large windows for optimal natural light while original features of architraves, picture rails and charming fireplaces exude this home’s historic past.

A cool toned colour palette compliments the refined welcoming decor of this considerable family home. Arranged over three floors, the property briefly consists of a sizable doulbe reception room, an immaculately presented kitchen/dining room, a conservatory and a ground floor w/c. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms and two-family bathrooms spread over two floors.

In Brief

Ground floor

Colbourne Road boasts an appealing approach; the impressive brilliant white façade creates an instant wow factor that is equally matched by the interior of this double fronted town-house. Set on a quiet road in Hove’s highly sought-after Seven Dials area, behind an easy-to-maintain paved front garden.

Sympathetically decorated throughout with double square bay sash windows and a classic outdoor porch, this is a beautiful example of contemporary living in a period property.

On entering, an open hallway with exquisite wood flooring, leads into a large double width reception room; providing access to all ground floor rooms as well as offering a handy spot to store outdoor shoes and coats. An utterly welcoming space beautifully-lit by a square fronted south facing bay window with the added benefit of period fireplace with an eye-catching design.

At the rear of the property is the kitchen and dining room, a shaker style kitchen decorated in sumptuous inky blue wraps around the far side of the room, complemented by fixtures of the finest quality. Offering capacious proportions, the room has been cleverly constructed taking full advantage of space; fitted with a range of in-built shelving and cupboards, a discrete ground floor w/c and a designated dining area. The kitchen has the benefit of a double range cooker, an integrated dishwasher, a ceramic deep bowl Belfast sink, ample countertop and cupboard space. Reaping the very most from the morning sun, the dining area leads on to a delightful rear garden; the ideal spot for al fresco dining in the summer months. Handy under stair storage cupboards are accessible from the hallway.

Upstairs

The staircase runs up from the entrance hall and gives access to all first-floor rooms from the landing. There are three double bedrooms and a single room on the first floor with the main bedroom to the front benefiting from a square fronted bay window, a distinctive feature fireplace and high ceilings. A second double bedroom is positioned adjacent overlooking the garden. To the rear is an amply sized modern family bathroom, refurbished in a vintage style in keeping with the character of the property. There are two additional bedrooms, one good-sized double and smaller fourth bedroom.

Housed on the second floor, a further chic additional bathroom follows a similar sophisticated design and features a magnificent freestanding bathtub and a walk-in shower. The loft has been seamlessly converted into a main bedroom suite, beautifully lit by a full-length window and Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and several Velux windows on the opposing side. Discrete eaves offer plenty of additional storage, great for hiding away seasonal decorations and suitcases

The property has recently undergone extensive works for improvements that include fitting new aluminium windows and front door, a new boiler with ten-year warranty and completely updating the electrics and installing wiring for an in-house home Wi-Fi network.
