Set within Hove’s Avenues Conservation Area, this first-and-second floor duplex combines grand Victorian proportions with contemporary finishes. Triple-height windows, high ceilings and dual-aspect rooms flood the 1501 sq ft layout with light, while two private balconies capture morning and evening sun. The principal bedroom reads like a boutique suite, complete with dual aspects, an ensuite wet-room and a sunken Jacuzzi bath.
The living space centres on a large open-plan reception with an elegant gas fireplace and French doors onto the east-facing balcony. The kitchen is modern and well specified with stone worktops, handle-free units and integrated appliances, while underfloor heating in the bathrooms adds comfort. The apartment is offered as share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (998 years) and an allocated off-street parking space, plus permit parking in Zone N.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property sits in Council Tax Band E and attracts a service charge of £4,150 a year (above average). Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as above average. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and external wall insulation is not recorded, which may affect future renovation or energy-efficiency upgrades. Overall this is a turn-key, characterful home suited to buyers seeking a spacious family residence or refined coastal base with strong transport links to Brighton, Gatwick and London.
