This raised ground-floor studio sits in a Victorian semi-detached building in central Hove, a short walk from Church Road shops, Hove Station and the seafront. The open-plan studio/kitchen is bright with high ceilings, a bay window and original character details that give the apartment charm and street appeal. Being chain-free it suits a fast move or quick let-up for a buy-to-let purchaser.
Practical running notes: the flat is leasehold, heated by electric room heaters and uses electricity as the main fuel. Walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation and glazing type isn’t defined, so buyers should plan for running-cost and comfort upgrades if desired. The shower room is functional; overall the apartment would benefit from modest modernisation in places to maximise value.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer seeking a compact, well-located pied-à-terre or for an investor targeting strong rental demand in central Hove. Council tax is very cheap and broadband and mobile signal are strong. Note the local area records higher crime levels, which prospective purchasers should consider alongside the excellent transport and amenity links.
