The choices that surface when presented with an imposing, double-level, six-bedroom, three-bathroom family home on an 812sqm (approximate) parcel of land just metres to the golden sands of Hove beach...
Demolish, split and multiply the land (STCC) or, give this whopping home a second chance?
Don't let the exposed beams, brickwork and solid 1970's build defeat you. The task isn't for the fainthearted, but the rewards on a respectable footprint on a north-facing rear allotment (set back from the sea spray) speak for themselves.
It's cliché, but think again of the sand, the sea breezes, those twilight walks on the beach - and the potential investment glory of one home evolving into two. Neighbouring properties have done so successfully, why shouldn't you?
Currently comprising on the lower level:
A parquet-floored lounge, timber kitchen, dining room and rear patio. Four bedrooms including a master with walk-in robe and ensuite, plus a family bathroom and laundry.
And upstairs:
A second, spacious layout happily homing a small family consisting of a further living area, meals, kitchen and two bedrooms - one configured to the front as a master (with ensuite and walk-in robe) and the second to the rear, with balcony views.
Go work your figures.
While you're there, consider the landscaping. With a block predominantly paved and retained with border beds, large rear garage, shedding and entertainer's all-weather pergola, imagination and determination will evolve this level land.
In a prized position for families, Marymount College and Brighton High School nearby, pristine beachfront and million-dollar real estate, take a walk and think it through...
Why you'll love it:
Approx 812sqm of development at your sandy feet
1970's two storey home to renovate or demolish
Self-sufficient living...
