This lower-ground Victorian conversion flat sits in Central Hove, a short walk from the beach, Church Road and Hove Station. The raised bay window and high ceilings give surprising light and a sense of proportion for a 431 sq ft apartment, while a private west‑facing front garden creates a suntrap and quiet buffer from the road.
Internally the layout is open-plan and efficiently arranged: a generous double bedroom, a living/dining room with bay seating, a tucked‑away kitchen with integrated appliances, separate utility cupboard and a modern shower room. The flat has recent double glazing and gas central heating with boiler and radiators, making it ready to live in for buyers or immediate rental for investors.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and on-street parking in Zone N only. The building is solid-brick Victorian construction and likely has little built-in wall insulation. The apartment’s compact footprint suits one or two people, but space is limited compared with larger flats.
For buyers seeking seaside lifestyle, low council tax and excellent transport links to Brighton and London, this is an economical entry to a desirable address. It will also interest investors looking for a rental close to the station, university areas and local amenities, provided they are comfortable with the remaining lease length and modest internal size.
