Set back from the road and screened by mature trees and planting, this four double bedroom detached house offers a rare sense of privacy in one of Hove’s most sought-after residential locations. Lovingly owned and cared for over many years, the home presents a beautifully eclectic blend of traditional charm and thoughtful modernisation, a house with real soul.
From the moment you step inside, the property’s period heritage is clear. Original flooring, distinctive internal doors and unique black detailing within the glazed panels speak to the home’s age and craftsmanship, lending warmth and individuality throughout.
The main living space is both inviting and refined, centred around an open fireplace and framed by a generous bay window, creating a wonderful room for everyday living and relaxed entertaining. A separate dining room sits comfortably alongside, maintaining the traditional layout that so many buyers value, yet with flexibility for modern family life.
To the rear, the kitchen has been sensitively extended to create a bright and sociable kitchen-dining space. Large sliding doors open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood in and giving the impression of indoor-outdoor living, ideal for both family life and entertaining. This space has been carefully designed to complement the original house rather than compete with it.
The garden itself is manicured and low-maintenance, offering a peaceful and private retreat. Thoughtful planting, mature greenery and a practical layout make it equally suited to quiet mornings or summer gatherings. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are comfortable doubles, providing excellent proportions throughout. The principal bedroom benefits from its own ensuite, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. A downstairs bathroom adds further practicality for busy households.
While the property already offers generous accommodation, there is scope for further extension (subject to the usual consents), providing an exciting opportunity to enhance an already impressive home. Combining character, space and potential, this is a house that has clearly been cherished.
The location
In Hove’s enviable Goldsmid and Seven Dials quarter, Davigdor Road epitomises that rare blend of refined seaside living and urban ease. A short wander along charming avenues will take you into the heart of Seven Dials — a delightful enclave of artisanal cafés, bespoke boutiques and stylish eateries — while the spirited thoroughfares of The Lanes and North Laine in central Brighton, with their maze‑like lanes of independent stores, galleries and hidden courtyards, are all within easy reach, offering that quintessential mix of historic charm and contemporary culture.
For the discerning commuter and explorer alike, Brighton and Hove’s mainline stations are a pleasant stroll away, whisking you directly into London or along the south coast, and frequent bus routes thread through the neighbourhood with effortless efficiency. Beyond the transport tapestry, there’s an abundance of outdoor pleasures close at hand: the green tranquillity of St Ann’s Well Gardens beckons with its scented walks and leafy pathways, and just beyond the urban horizon lie the rolling expanses of the South Downs if countryside calls.
Living here means embracing the best of coastal living, with the seafront promenade and pebble beaches of Hove and Brighton barely a mile away — perfect for sunrise strolls or an afternoon dip. The area is equally appealing to families, with a selection of esteemed local schools and well‑kept parks providing an idyllic backdrop to everyday life. Schooling, transport and leisure interweave seamlessly in this elegant pocket of the south coast, making Davigdor Road a locale that’s both timeless and utterly of the moment — a setting that would surely grace the pages of a beautifully curated lifestyle spread.
