Four double bedrooms; principal bedroom with en suite
Planning permission granted to add ~45m² rooftop terrace space
Presented to a high interior specification with vaulted glazed ceiling
Community heating/fuel scheme; check service charges and arrangements
Historic Victorian building — communal maintenance obligations likely
Seafront location may cause salt exposure and occasional promenade noise
Set directly opposite Hove seafront, this penthouse occupies the top floors of an elegant Victorian period building and delivers rare, uninterrupted sea views from principal rooms and a private roof terrace. The apartment is presented to a high interior specification with an open-plan living room and high-end kitchen beneath a vaulted glazed ceiling; neutral tones and bespoke joinery create a light, contemporary coastal home. Lift access and chain-free sale add practical convenience for an easy move.
The layout provides four double bedrooms (principal with en suite) and two bathrooms across a multi-storey plan, plus generous storage. Two of the secondary bedrooms open onto the main roof terrace, creating private outdoor rooms and excellent entertaining space. Planning permission has just been granted to reinstate historic railings at the very top of the roof, which would add about 45m² of additional terrace with panoramic sea views.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the building runs on a community heating/fuel scheme and glazing install dates are unknown, so buyers should check service arrangements and insulation specifics. As a period seafront property there will be communal maintenance responsibilities for the historic fabric, and living directly on the promenade brings occasional noise and salt exposure that can increase repair needs over time.
This home suits buyers seeking a bright, spacious family residence or a lifestyle purchase with strong seasonal rental potential thanks to its location. The long lease (circa 949 years) and share of freehold give security of tenure, while the combination of period character, contemporary interior design and rare roof terrace space make this a distinctive coastal opportunity.
