Bright, spacious and well-located, this two-bedroom third-floor apartment in central Hove offers 915 sq ft of adaptable living space and a rare triple-length private garage. The open-plan kitchen/living room is filled with natural light and opens onto a sunny balcony, creating an easy flow for everyday life and entertaining. The contemporary fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and a breakfast bar.
Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, a long lease (996 years) and share of freehold. The property is being sold chain-free and sits a short stroll from Hove seafront (around ten minutes) and Hove railway station, making it a strong pick for commuters or buyers seeking coastal access. Local shops, cafés and schools are within easy reach.
Notable positives are the very large private garage (triple length) providing secure parking and substantial storage—unusual for central flats—and the sizeable overall footprint for a city flat. The building dates from the mid-20th century, which brings character but also some typical maintenance considerations.
Buyers should note the service charge (around £2,200 annually) and that the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could affect heating costs and future upgrade work. Broadband speeds are average, and there is no private garden. The apartment will suit first-time buyers, commuters and investors; cosmetic updating could add value but major structural issues are not indicated.
