Guide price £350,000–£375,000. Set on the prestigious Medina Villas, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment sits in a handsome Victorian building just minutes from the seafront and Hove station. The property offers generous room proportions, high ceilings and quality wood flooring that complement original sash windows and period character.
The open-plan living room and kitchen form a bright social hub with street and distant sea aspects. Both double bedrooms sit to the rear and receive good afternoon sun; the main bedroom includes substantial built-in storage and space for a king bed. Practical storage has been cleverly increased by the current owners, including an oversized entrance cupboard and added overhead storage.
Leasehold details are straightforward: 101 years remaining, modest ground rent and an annual service charge that covers building upkeep. The apartment has secondary glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. Note the solid-brick walls with no insulation (typical for the age), which may mean higher heating running costs and potential for upgrade work.
This home is ideal for a first-time buyer or professional couple seeking seaside lifestyle and easy rail links to London. It is chain free and move-in ready, but buyers should factor in communal service charges and the property's urban crime level when assessing suitability and security improvements.
