Tucked away on the first floor of a mid-century development, this two-bedroom flat puts everyday convenience within easy reach. A generous open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner (approx 7.8m x 3.78m) creates a bright, flexible living space for working from home, dining and socialising. Natural light pours through large windows and the property faces well-kept communal grounds, giving a calm outlook in the heart of Hove.
Practical benefits include rare off-street parking for this location, an exceptionally long lease (approx. 931 years) and chain-free sale — features that simplify buying and future resale. The flat is a short walk from St Ann’s Wells Gardens, local independent shops, cafes and reliable transport links into Brighton, while the seafront is also within walking distance.
There are some important, factual drawbacks to note. Heating is by electric room heaters which can be more expensive than gas central heating; the building is system-built and is assumed to have no cavity insulation in the walls. Service charges run at about £2,100 per year. The second bedroom is modest in size (approx. 3.05m x 2.15m), so buyers needing two large bedrooms should check measurements carefully.
Overall, this flat suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located, low-management home with parking and a long lease. It offers straightforward, comfortable living now and clear potential for cosmetic improvement where desired.
