Summary - 177 BASEMENT FLAT KINGSWAY HOVE BN3 4GL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free Victorian flat with long lease and direct sea views, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Direct, uninterrupted sea views from the apartment
Set right on Hove seafront, this one-bedroom fourth-floor apartment delivers direct, uninterrupted sea views and a genuine coastal lifestyle. The flat sits in a handsome Victorian terrace and benefits from a long share of the freehold and an unusually long lease (968 years), making ownership straightforward for buyers and investors alike.
Inside, the well-proportioned living room, separate fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom provide ready-to-live-in accommodation across about 513 sq ft. The property is sold chain free, ideal for a quick move or a buy-to-let purchase, and council tax is modest at Band B.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the apartment is on the fourth floor (access likely involves multiple flights of stairs), broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the building has a typical service charge of £1,500 pa plus a small ground rent of £100 pa. The building’s solid brick Victorian construction may mean lower wall insulation levels without retrofit work.
Overall this is an attractive, low-hassle seafront flat that suits first-time buyers seeking lifestyle and commuters wanting easy access to Hove station, or investors targeting steady rental demand. Its key selling points—sea views, location and long lease—outweigh the manageable running costs and modest modernisation that some buyers may prefer.
