Set in a Grade II Regency crescent moments from Hove seafront, this split-level one-bedroom apartment blends period detail with practical modern updates. High ceilings, sash windows and ornate plasterwork give the principal living space strong character, while the open-plan layout and modern kitchen make the flat comfortable for everyday living or city breaks.
Practical positives include generous hallway storage, a west-facing double bedroom, recently fitted carpets and an updated bathroom. The apartment occupies 607 sq ft and benefits from a long lease (151 years) and a central location close to cafés, transport and local amenities.
Buyers should note the building’s listed status, which can restrict alterations and complicate maintenance. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the walls are original solid brick with no built-in insulation, so energy bills may be higher than modern standards. Service charges are around £2,258 annually and the area records above-average crime levels — both important for budgeting and security planning.
This property suits a buyer seeking a characterful city-flat near the sea who values location and period charm over full modern thermal performance. Its size and split-level layout also make it appropriate for a first-time buyer or pied-à-terre looking for a distinctive, well-located home with renovation potential where allowed by listing constraints.
