Bright period proportions and transport links define this first-floor one-bedroom in Clarendon Villas, a sizeable 652 sq ft apartment a short walk from Hove station. High ceilings, a large bay-window living room and a separate kitchen give a feeling of space uncommon at this price point, making the property suitable for a single occupier, commuting couple or buy-to-let purchaser.
The building is a Victorian mid-terrace of solid brick construction with retained period detail such as cornices and fireplace surround. Services are mains gas with a boiler and radiators; broadband and mobile signal are reported fast and excellent respectively. Council tax is very low, which supports reasonable running costs for owner-occupiers or tenants.
Buyers should note material legal and area considerations: the property is presented as freehold but Land Registry registration and final lease details have not been completed; purchasers must verify title and timescales. The local area shows high crime levels and higher deprivation statistics, which affects family appeal and may influence insurance or rental yields.
Internally the finish appears serviceable but basic; there is clear potential to increase value with targeted cosmetic updating, insulation improvements and modernising kitchen or bathroom. There is no private outdoor space visible and parking is on-street. Overall, this is a practical, well-located period apartment for someone prioritising location and size over external amenity, or an investor seeking commuter demand.
