Summary - Sackville Road, Hove BN3 3FE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal starter home for commuters seeking period character and private outdoor space..
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom with private west-facing garden
Long lease 999 years — secure tenure for buyers and investors
Period features: high ceilings, bay window, decorative cornices
Compact total area approx. 550 sqft — limited internal storage
Service charge ~£1,741.20/year (£145.10/month) — factor ongoing costs
Double glazing and mains gas central heating already installed
Short walk to Hove station and seafront — strong location premium
Cosmetic updating likely needed to maximise value
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat occupies a period red-brick semi in central Hove, a short walk from the seafront and Hove mainline station. The property benefits from high ceilings, bay windows and a private west-facing paved garden — rare for a lower-ground/lateral conversion and useful for evening sun and outdoor dining.
The layout is compact but well-proportioned for a one-bedroom: a generous main reception, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Recent works include double glazing and a long lease (999 years), while mains gas central heating and a D-rated EPC keep running costs straightforward. Council tax is low and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong.
Important practical points: the flat is chain-free but is a leasehold with a service charge of approximately £1,741.20 per year (about £145.10 per month). Internal space is limited compared with a two-bedroom home, so it suits a single occupant, couple, or buy-to-let investor rather than a family. Cosmetic updating would maximise rental or resale value.
Overall this is a well-located starter or investment property offering period character, outdoor space and commuter-friendly transport links. Buyers should check service charge details and factor modest modernisation into budgets.
