Summary - DEVONSHIRE COURT 33 THE DRIVE HOVE BN3 6GT
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free, commuter-friendly flat five minutes from Hove station.
Chain free two-bedroom first-floor flat
A bright, dual-aspect two-bedroom first-floor flat within easy walking distance of Hove mainline station — ideal for first-time buyers seeking convenient commuter living. The living room benefits from an original porthole-style stained glass window that gives character, while industrial-style radiators and a shaker-style kitchen add contemporary touches.
Practical running costs are partly controlled: hot water and central heating are included in the service charge, and the property is offered chain free with a 96-year lease remaining. Built in the mid-20th century, the block has double glazing (installed after 2002) and cavity-filled walls, and the apartment includes useful built-in storage and a communal rear garden.
Buyers should note the material facts: the service charge is significant at about £3,000 per year and there is a small ground rent of £90. The flat is an average-sized 700 sq ft and sits in a mid-terrace purpose-built block, so communal management decisions affect costs and works. EPC rating C.
Overall this is a practical, well-located two-bed with character features and commuter convenience. It will suit first-time buyers who prioritise location and low day-to-day heating costs, or investors looking for a straightforward, chain-free purchase — though factor service charges and lease length into affordability calculations.
