This well-located two-bedroom first-floor flat offers an accessible step onto the Hove property ladder. The reception room opens onto a private west-facing balcony, ideal for evening light and outside dining, while an eat-in kitchen and ample built-in storage make everyday living straightforward. The property is offered chain-free with a long 969-year share of freehold, giving long-term security.
Location is a major plus: the seafront is about a ten-minute walk, Hove station is close by (approximately 0.6 miles), and Church Road’s cafés, shops and restaurants are within easy reach. Local parks and green spaces are nearby, and the area suits buyers who want coastal amenities and good transport links.
Practical points are clear and factual. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so energy performance may lag newer builds. Broadband speeds are average and there is one bathroom plus a separate WC, which may be a consideration for sharing occupants or families. The flat has double glazing installed during or after 2002 and mains gas central heating.
Overall this flat is a pragmatic choice for first-time buyers or investor purchasers seeking a well-positioned, chain-free home with parking and long lease security. It needs no immediate structural information provided here, but buyers should note the likely scope for improving insulation and will want to check energy and service costs as part of their due diligence.
