This bright two-bedroom maisonette occupies its own street-level entrance in a converted Victorian terrace, offering a mix of period character and contemporary living. The first-floor open-plan kitchen and living room benefit from large bay windows and high ceilings, creating a light, airy social space ideal for entertaining or relaxed everyday life. The modern fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Both bedrooms are located on the ground floor and include built-in storage; a convenient downstairs W/C adds practicality for visitors. At about 754 sq ft the layout feels compact but well-proportioned for a first-time buyer or investor seeking reliable rental appeal near Hove Station and the seafront. The property is sold freehold and includes the loft space.
There are a few material points to note: the building is a Victorian solid-brick mid-terrace with assumed lack of cavity wall insulation, so heating bills may be higher than in newer stock. There is no private garden and the plot is small. While double glazing was installed post-2002 and the heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, future buyers should consider potential improvement costs if upgrading insulation or installing modern energy-efficiency measures.
Positioned moments from Church Road and Portland Road amenities, Hove mainline station and the promenade, this maisonette suits first-time buyers wanting a central, well-connected home and investors targeting steady rental demand. The property’s period charm, sizeable bay-windowed reception and practical layout create a comfortable base with clear scope for cosmetic updating and energy improvements.
