3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Poplar Avenue, Hove BN3

£475,000 - £500,000 There is something rather special about this charming semi-detached chalet bungalow. Beautifully arranged for modern living, with a wonderfully relaxed feel and an exceptional garden, this is a home that feels made for enjoying life.

From the moment you step inside, there is a sense of space and flow. The entrance hall leads through to the various areas of the house, but it is the fabulous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space at the rear that is likely to become the real heart of the home.

Designed with a stylish Scandinavian influence, the kitchen is modern, practical and beautifully integrated into the living space, with all the modern conveniences you would expect. Beyond the kitchen, the dining and sitting areas create a wonderfully sociable space - perfect for long lunches with friends, relaxed family evenings or simply settling down beside the log burner with a good book.

And then there is the garden. Quite simply, it is magical.

Lovingly transformed by the current owner, this is far more than a garden to look at. It is a garden to live in, grow things in and enjoy throughout the seasons. A productive working garden provides an abundance of opportunities for growing vegetables and fruit, with a wonderful collection of raised and established beds creating different spaces to explore.

Sliding doors from the living room open directly onto the garden, making it easy to move between inside and out during the warmer months. Towards the rear, a raised concrete terrace provides the perfect place for outdoor seating - somewhere to enjoy a morning coffee, an evening drink or dinner with friends surrounded by greenery. There is also a greenhouse and a small shed, while side access makes moving between the front and rear gardens particularly convenient.

Back inside, the accommodation is wonderfully flexible. At the front of the house is a cosy additional reception room, currently arranged as a snug but offering plenty of possibilities — perhaps a home office, dressing room or walk-in wardrobe. This leads through to another generous bedroom/reception room with built-in shelving, giving the property the versatility to adapt to different stages of life.

A shower room completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, two good-sized bedrooms offer peaceful retreats away from the main living spaces. The front bedroom has the added pleasure of sea views, while the rear bedroom looks out across the beautiful garden - a particularly lovely outlook to wake up to.

Outside, the mature front garden creates an attractive first impression, while the rear garden is undoubtedly the star of the show.

This is a home for people who enjoy cooking and eating together, growing their own food, opening the doors on a sunny day, gathering around a fire and making the most of the seasons. It offers the comfort of a thoughtfully designed modern home, combined with the individuality and character that makes a property feel truly personal.

A beautifully balanced home with versatile accommodation, a wonderful sense of connection between inside and out, and a garden that has to be seen to be appreciated.

Situated in a popular residential area of Hove, the property is ideally placed for enjoying both the coast and the wider Sussex countryside, while also offering excellent road and public transport connections.

The nearby A27 provides convenient access to Brighton, Shoreham, Worthing and beyond, making the location particularly appealing to commuters. Public transport links are also excellent, with a bus stop just two minutes away offering the 5 and 5A services into town, while the 5B stops just around the corner. More recently, the addition of the 3X provides a fast and convenient service to Hove and Brighton stations.

Hove’s seafront and wide open spaces are within easy reach, alongside a good selection of local shops, cafés and everyday amenities. With easy access to the coast, countryside, major road links and excellent public transport, this is a wonderfully well-connected part of Hove — offering the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed seaside lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
