Set on Hove’s iconic Courtenay Terrace, this newly renovated three-bedroom apartment combines grand Victorian character with a high-spec modern finish. The third-floor, one-level layout opens to a wide, open-plan living and kitchen area that spans the apartment’s full width, delivering uninterrupted sea views and abundant natural light. A separate artist’s studio and utility/boot room add practical versatility for family life or home-working.
Practical benefits include lift access to a private lobby, off-street parking, and direct gate access from the communal south-facing gardens onto the pedestrian esplanade and beach. The finish is contemporary and carefully considered: double glazing, upgraded insulation above the ceiling and beneath engineered oak floors, new bathrooms and a sustainable German kitchen with high-spec appliances and USB sockets throughout.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed building — any alterations will be restricted and may cause delays or additional costs. The property is sold as a share of freehold with a long lease (998 years) but carries an above-average service charge (approx. £6,000 pa). Construction is solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation, which is typical for period buildings and may affect longer-term thermal upgrade options.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers wanting a lock-up-and-leave coastal home with period provenance, generous entertaining space and immediate access to seafront living. It’s particularly appealing for families or professionals seeking a bright, secure home near Church Road amenities and direct rail links to Gatwick and London.
