Summary - REAR FLAT, 253, NEW CHURCH ROAD, HOVE BN3 4EE
3 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Light-filled period living near the beach and transport links.
Private street entrance to the maisonette
Set over two well-proportioned floors, this three-bedroom Victorian maisonette combines period character with practical urban living. The principal bedroom benefits from a bay window and good ceiling heights, while the ground-floor reception opens via large sliding doors onto a private paved garden — a low-maintenance outdoor space for children or entertaining. The layout includes a separate kitchen, a flexible ground-floor room that could be a bedroom or home office, and a single bathroom.
Practical extras include a rare off-street parking space, double glazing added since 2002, mains gas central heating and a long lease with share of freehold (around 313 years remaining). The property is chain-free, close to Hove seafront and lagoon, and within easy reach of Portslade station for direct services to London and Gatwick — useful for commuting families.
There is excellent scope to modernise throughout; the interior is broadly neutral but dated in places, so value can be added by updating the kitchen, redecoration and minor refurbishment. Buyers should note the building’s solid brick walls (original construction with no added cavity insulation assumed) and that some garden areas are untidy and require attention. Service charge is modest at approximately £768 per year and council tax is low, both helping running costs.
This maisonette will suit families or purchasers seeking a character home close to the seafront who are happy to invest a little work to personalise and increase value. The location, parking and long lease are standout practical benefits for everyday life in Hove.
