Summary - Flat 6, 71 St Aubyns BN3 2TL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, stylish city pad moments from Hove’s seafront and Church Road.
Newly refurbished one-bedroom apartment, ready to move in
A bright, newly refurbished one-bedroom apartment a short walk from Hove seafront and the shops of Church Road. The open-plan living space and modern kitchen make efficient use of the compact 400 sq ft layout, while a private patio provides rare outside space for dining and relaxing. Period features remain visible on the exterior of the Victorian building, giving the flat character alongside contemporary interiors.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking a turn-key city base with excellent transport links — Hove Station and frequent buses are within easy reach, and the seafront is moments away. The long remaining lease (circa 970 years) and share of freehold reduce ownership risk and are real positives for future mortgage and resale considerations.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the flat is small and uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, so running costs may be higher. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, and the service charge is around £2,400 per year. The neighbourhood is lively and well served by amenities but records higher local crime levels, which may concern some buyers.
For a buyer who values location and low-maintenance living, this apartment offers immediate occupation and strong lifestyle appeal. It’s particularly well suited to someone prioritising proximity to the coast, cafés and rail links over large internal space. The property also offers scope to personalise within the newly fitted finishes if desired.
