WORKING from home can be a struggle when surrounded by distractions – but this house comes with a bright garden office with views across the city.

The five-bedroom property in Hill Drive in Hove is on the market for £2 million.

Designed to maximise natural light throughout, the house has a large south-facing rear extension, with glass doors that fill the open-plan kitchen with light, and lead out onto the sun terrace and garden.

Originally built in the 1970s, the house has undergone renovation over the past three years.

Downstairs there is oak flooring throughout the entrance hall and living room, and the kitchen extension spans the full back end of the house. There is also a cosy sitting room overlooking the Withdean Valley towards the sea.

At the top of the garden, the timber-clad office is well insulated with double glazed doors and views towards the coast.

"The light and airy interior gives the property a warm and cosy feel, while the star of the show is the alfresco dining area which receives plenty of sunshine throughout the day.
