A bright, newly refurbished one-bedroom flat in a popular over-55s development close to Hove’s shops, cafés and transport links. The apartment has been updated with a new shower room, new kitchen appliances, fresh decoration and new carpets, ready to move into. Communal facilities include landscaped gardens, roof terraces with wide views, a residents’ lounge, library/function room, two guest suites and lifts to all floors.
Practical details suit pensioners and downsizers: a long 250-year lease, weekday house manager, unallocated off-street parking and quick access to Hove mainline station. The layout comprises an entrance hall, living room, double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, separate kitchen/dining bay and a modern shower room — all within about 495 sq ft (46.0 sq m).
Notable charges and construction points are straightforward: annual service charge around £3,236.94 plus modest ground rent of £100, with total annual charges circa £3,322.66. The building is a pre-1900 Art Deco construction with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation), double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The fifth-floor location is served by lifts but may be less suitable for anyone requiring immediate ground-floor access.
Overall this apartment is a low-maintenance, centrally located retirement option for someone seeking community facilities, easy transport links and a recently upgraded home, with predictable running costs and a long lease.
