Elm Drive is situated in a convenient location North of the Old Shoreham Road, in Hove, leading into Cranmer Avenue. Locally, you'll find a good selection of shops in and around Hangleton Road that includes a Co-op, Tesco Express and Flour Pot. This location is ideal for transport links, with regular bus services affording access to the rest of Brighton, Hove and beyond. Aldrington train station is less than half a mile away, and Portslade station just over a mile in distance, with bypass links to the A27 and A23 being easily accessible. Poets Corner and Portland Road with its array of shops, restaurants and pubs are both within easy reach as are the open green spaces of Knoll Park and Hove Park with its 40 acre's of playing fields.
Gated access and sweeping pathways move through the beautifully established front garden, making the property incredibly private and set back from the road.
Once inside the house, you'll be greeted with warm real wood floors and a tasteful neutral décor that flows throughout, immaculately presented with popular mid century styling and lots of natural light. The current owner's keen eye for interior design, means the property is move in ready.
Having extended the property to the side, the reconfigured and now larger than average footprint of the house allows for a much more workable internal space for family living. The ground floor accommodates an inviting entrance hall with coat nook and utility room with WC, and a generous lateral open plan dining room and kitchen at the rear of the house, that's ideal for socialising and spilling out onto the garden in summer months.
Contemporary in design with retro cork floors, the kitchen is sleek with cashmere wall and base units, Corian work surface with matching upstand. The chimney breast houses the Rangemaster cooker with retro tiled splashback, whilst the remaining appliances are integrated and hidden away. Sliding doors overlook and give direct access to the fabulous rear garden and sun terrace.
The sitting room is cosy and tucked away with a bay window that overlooks the leafy green front garden.
To the first floor you'll find three double bedrooms all enjoying wonderful far reaching views, with the principal bedroom being a real unexpected gem. Boasting stunning vaulted double height ceilings and a triple aspect, the principal bedroom is spacious and flooded with natural light, with its own dressing area and a luxurious en-suite shower room.
Enjoying muted neutral tiled surrounds, the family bathroom is sleek and modern and comprises a panelled bath with shower over, a pedestal wash basin and low level eco fiush WC.
A further turning staircase rises to the very well done, loft extension that now accommodates a large double bedroom. With a dual aspect and oversized skylight, the picture window enjoys stunning far reaching views, and the space is lovely and bright.
Generously proportioned and wonderfully landscaped, the current owner's green fingers and careful planning have made the outside space a real sanctuary. Thoughtfully placed trees, shrubs and greenery bring sectional possibilities to the space with private areas of relaxation and sun trapping.
The large decked sun terrace spans the width of the property and provide space for lounging and a table and chairs, making it ideal for entertaining and alfresco dining.
At the rear of the garden, you'll find a large paved area with double gated side access and dropped kerb, allowing the possibility for off street parking.
Furthermore, the garden houses a fully insulated garden room with French doors, lighting and electric, that is currently split into three useful, separate spaces. There is gated side access at the top of the garden, a bin store, and outside lighting and water tap.
