The property: an idyllic Victorian detached home positioned within generous wrap around gardens and accessed via double gates on Belmont Road with ample off-road parking to the rear on Barley Lane and a detached double garage. Having undergone a sympathetic restoration the accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and showcases a wealth of original features including a large stained-glass feature window, high ceilings, and original shutters throughout the ground floor. Built in 1861 for Hastings Alderman Edward Hales, this five-bedroom family home is arranged over four floors. The ground floor comprises a charming living room with a tiled open fireplace, overlooking the lawn and a large dual-aspect kitchen and dining space, which measures 34’9 x 14’11, which benefits from a separate utility room providing additional storage space and plumbing for utilities, and there is a downstairs cloakroom with a bespoke vanity. The open plan kitchen offers plenty of room for a dining table and a contrasting central island/breakfast bar with an inset sink and a Quooker hot water tap, creating a sociable space which acts as the hub of the family home, housing integrated appliances, enjoying a wood-burning stove, a bay window at the front framing an outlook of the garden, and an exposed brickwork wall at the rear. The kitchen leads through to the sun room, positioned at the rear of the property, enjoying bi-folding doors opening to a terrace—an idyllic spot to dine al-fresco. There is also an additional reception room with a marble fireplace currently used as a study. The welcoming entrance hall has original tiled flooring and a staircase that curves up to the first floor.
