Summary - 43 Marlborough Court, 46-48, The Drive BN3 3JX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact sixth-floor studio close to seafront, station and shops.
Chain free with 939-year lease remaining
A compact, well-planned studio on the sixth floor with long lease advantage — ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking central Hove convenience. The layout maximises space with a separate kitchen, five built-in cupboards and a shower bathroom, so day-to-day living is practical despite the modest footprint (approx. 323 sq ft).
The flat benefits from chain-free sale, brand-new double glazing and lift access to upper floors. Its location close to Hove seafront, Hove Lawns, Church Road cafés, bars and Hove mainline station makes commuting and leisure straightforward, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working patterns.
Buyers should note the property uses electric storage heaters and mains electricity as the main fuel, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — this may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The studio is in a mixed, cosmopolitan area with students and lively nightlife nearby, which may mean some noise at times. Council tax is very cheap, and the 939-year lease provides long-term security.
Overall, this is a pragmatic entry-level purchase or rental opportunity for someone prioritising location and low upfront buying friction. It suits buyers willing to accept small living space and electric heating in exchange for an excellent central Hove address and long leasehold tenure.
