Set on Wilbury Avenue in one of Hove’s most desirable pockets, this first-floor Edwardian apartment delivers nearly 1,000 sq ft of period proportions and genuine reconfiguration potential. High ceilings, bay windows and a west-facing living room fill the space with light; the main bedroom overlooks the communal garden. A separate kitchen-diner and large room sizes give scope to modernise to a high standard.
The apartment is sold chain free but requires full renovation throughout. The current lease has 84 years remaining — a material issue that will need addressing promptly and may affect mortgage options and costs. There is potential, subject to consents, to reconfigure into a three-bedroom layout which would substantially increase value in this location.
Practical benefits include access to a substantial communal garden and the option to rent a long-term parking space on the drive. The building’s Edwardian character and tall ceilings make this a desirable blank canvas for buyers who value period features and live close to Hove’s seafront, station and Church Road’s cafés and restaurants.
This property is best suited to a buyer prepared to undertake renovation or an investor targeting a conversion project. Viewings are recommended to appreciate scale and scope; be prepared to factor in lease extension costs and refurbishment budgets when assessing affordability.
