The space
We want you to feel like you're in your own private hotel, with fresh linens & lashings of hot water.
It's about comfort all the way.
The detached house in one of Hove’s most exclusive neighbourhoods has plantation shutters throughout, high ceilinged rooms with ornate coving & bags of other Edwardian features including an amazing hundred-year-old tiled hallway, marble fireplaces & beautiful chandeliers.
The house has fast WiFi & a smart TV with Netflix & amazon Prime (if you have your own accounts).
The large garden has a mature apple tree. If you're here in season try them - they're gorgeous.
While the best spot in the house, for me, is the kitchen with American fridge-freezer, boiling water tap, it’s huge corian island with induction double oven, sofa, Tv area & the table seating 17 with panoramic garden views.
From the top floor of the house you have distant sea-views. Hove train station is at the bottom of the street a two-min walk away with a fabulous bakery en route. While across the bridge is The Times recommended micro-brewery & pub, The Watchmakers Arms & the award-winning Wolfies fish & chip shop. It does the best curry sauce in Brighton. Continue on down to Church Road & you’ll find a host of fabulous pubs & restaurants. There is also a large Tesco there.
Lovely Hove Park with its hard and clay court tennis courts, city bike hire, cafe, gym & children’s play-park is a three min walk in the opposite direction. There is also a 4G football pitch. Every Saturday there is a well-attended park run at 9am.
Please, check out, if you have any time, my guidebook on my page. It has recommendations of where to eat out, for good pubs, car parking, cab numbers & fun activities in the city & nearby.
We are more than happy to accommodate respectful hens (but not stags I am afraid). The house is also ideal for family gatherings or groups of friends. Thanks
Guest access
The house - all of the four floors of it - is yours bar a store room, where the cleaners keep their things and cupboards in five of the six bedrooms where they keep cleaning products.
Other things to note
There is a hot water tap. You push down the button and turn to to the right for instant hot water.
Do try the wonderful Hove Patisserie. It is at the bottom of the street. Over the footbridge passed Hove Station, Wolfies fish and chip shop is an award winner.
The pub, The Watchmakers' Arms is further along from the chippie and was voted by The Times one of the top ten craft beer drinking holes in the country.
Gorgeous Hove Park (lovely cafe, tennis courts, basketball court, playpark) is four minutes walk away. There is a newly opened sauna here at the engineerium.
Hove Station has links to London (Victoria station 51 mins) and there's a shuttle to Brighton station that goes every few mins. Journey-time about 4 mins.
Restaurants and bars are a few minutes walk away on Church Road.
There's a Waitrose the other side of the park and a late-opening Tesco Express across the footbridge on Denmark Villas.
Every Saturday morning the 5k Park Run in Hove Park is attended by up to 200 runners. It starts at 9am.
For your rubbish use the green bins outside the house. The grey wheelie bin is for glass, paper &
cardboard recyclables only. There is also an orange food recycle bin.
The stop cock for the house is in the kitchen to the right of the larder in a small white plastic cupboard just above the skirting board.
The fuse box is in a small white cupboard above the radiator in the lower ground floor.
