A particularly spacious first-floor one-bedroom flat in a quiet cul-de-sac, just a block from Hove Seafront. The apartment offers a large double bedroom, a good-sized living room and a separate kitchen and bathroom, each with a window that brings in natural light. With 484 sq ft and a long 949-year lease, the share of freehold offers long-term security and makes this an attractive step-on or buy-to-let purchase.
Practical running costs are affected by a communal heating and hot water scheme (included) and an annual service charge of around £2,788. The property is sold chain free and includes first-come, first-served off-street parking. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, while mobile signal is excellent.
Built in the mid-20th century, the block retains period character but shows typical construction limitations: cavity walls assumed without added insulation and double glazing of unknown installation date. These are straightforward improvement opportunities for a buyer wanting to add value or reduce running costs. Overall, the flat suits first-time buyers seeking space and location, or investors targeting strong rental demand close to the seafront. Important negatives — the high service charge and slow broadband — are stated plainly so buyers can factor them into running costs.
