Newtown Road | Hove | East Sussex
Seller Insight "We love Victorian houses so when we first saw this house with its period features, we knew It had so much potential. It's got such a great feeling of space and goes so much further back than you realise when you look at it from the street. Our favourite way to spend time together when we're at home is as a family in the kitchen where we can talk, cook and eat together. We'll really miss living here, it's such a nice road with genuinely great neighbours. We love the area and having so many amenities right on our doorstep."
