A compact, chain-free first-floor flat positioned between Hove’s Kingsway and Marine Avenue, just moments from the seafront and local amenities. The layout offers a double bedroom, lounge, compact kitchen and bathroom — all presented in good decorative order and ready to move into. With 328 sq ft, this property works well as a low-maintenance bolt‑hole by the sea or a straightforward rental investment.
Practical running costs are clear: electric room heaters, electric main fuel and a below-average service charge of £594 every six months. The lease has c.136 years remaining and council tax is Band A, which keeps ongoing costs low. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the area is affluent with low crime, making it attractive to professionals and holiday renters.
Buyers should note the flat is small and built c.1900–1929 with cavity walls assumed uninsulated and electric heating rather than gas central heating — upgrading insulation or heating would improve comfort and running costs. The property is leasehold, and while the lease length is healthy, purchasers should factor in service charge and building insurance contributions.
Overall this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom near Hove seafront suited to first-time buyers seeking a seaside base or investors targeting a steady rental market. It offers immediate use with sensible potential for modest energy-efficiency improvements to add value.
