Long lease, west balcony and strong rental potential near Hove seafront.
Raised ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with west-facing balcony
Set on the raised ground floor of a small block in central Hove, this two-bedroom apartment offers a rare blend of location and hands-on potential. The flat includes a generous reception opening onto a large west-facing balcony, two bedrooms, separate kitchen and bathroom, plus two built-in storage cupboards—compact but efficiently laid out across 56.6 sq m (608 sq ft).
This is a clear opportunity for investors or buyers willing to refurbish. The property requires updating throughout: the kitchen is dated mid-century and worn, the bathroom shows damp damage and cracked tiles, and the flat is served by electric storage heating. Those works are reflected in the guide price and present scope to add value through targeted modernisation.
Practical positives reduce long-term risk: share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (c.900 years), double glazing, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—attributes attractive to renters and resale buyers alike. Location is a prime asset: quiet, tree-lined Salisbury Road is moments from Church Road, Hove Green, Hove seafront and within walking distance of Hove Station.
For investors this apartment offers good rental potential due to its central coastal position and transport links; for owner-occupiers it provides a compact, well-located base for someone prepared to renovate. Be aware of renovation costs and the bathroom’s damp issues when budgeting works.
