Set on the raised ground floor of a handsome Victorian terrace, this one-bedroom apartment delivers spacious, light-filled rooms and period character just moments from Hove seafront. High ceilings and a bay-windowed reception enhance the sense of space across almost 600 sq ft, making it an unusually roomy one-bed for the area. The apartment is presented in excellent condition and is ready to move into.
Practical living is well covered: double glazing, gas central heating, a modern kitchen and bathroom, plus long leasehold security (circa 110 years). Residents also benefit from a communal garden — a rare and useful outdoor space so close to the coast — and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The property is offered chain free and has a shared ownership option, which can help first-time buyers access this popular part of Hove.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with a service charge (approx. £1,356 pa) and a modest ground rent (£100 pa). The wider area is a cosmopolitan, student-friendly neighbourhood, which brings a lively local scene but can mean occasional noise and higher footfall. Council tax is described as cheap, and there is no flooding risk recorded for the postcode.
Overall, this apartment will suit first-time buyers or downsizers wanting roomy period proportions and coastal living without major works. The long lease and chain-free sale simplify purchase logistics, while shared ownership increases affordability for qualifying buyers. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, light and proximity to Hove’s amenities and seafront.
