A bright, spacious ground-floor flat with generous private rear garden in central Hove — rare for the location and ideal for first-time buyers wanting outside space. High ceilings, original cornice and sash windows give an immediate period character while a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room and two bathrooms make the layout genuinely liveable from day one.
The large west-facing living/dining room fills with afternoon sun and flows out to a very substantial lawned garden with mature planting and shed — a real draw for social life and year-round use. The principal bedroom includes an en suite shower room and there is a main bathroom, both finished to a practical standard.
Practicalities that matter: the flat has a 99-year lease, a share of the freehold and no ground rent. Service charges run at about £1,842.26 per year (paid semi-annually). Parking is on-street (Parking Zone O). The building is solid-brick Victorian, which means charming period features but also limited wall insulation — consider potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
This property suits buyers who value a central, cosmopolitan Hove address with private outdoor space and character features. Broadband speeds are average and mains gas heating is supplied via a boiler and radiators. Council Tax Band C.
