Summary - Norton Road, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 BN3 3BE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful Hove flat with long lease, renovation potential, and close seafront access.
Share of Freehold with 998-year lease remaining
A bright two-bedroom Victorian flat in central Hove, offered with a long 998-year lease and share of freehold. Period features include high ceilings, a bay window and sash windows that give good natural light and a characterful living room. The layout offers clear scope to reconfigure — there is potential (subject to planning) to create a third bedroom or open-plan front kitchen/living space for more modern living.
The building is well maintained and the flat sits above a short flight of steps. Practical benefits include off-street parking nearby, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy walking access to Church Road shops, Hove Station and the seafront. Flood risk is low and council tax is described as affordable.
Important drawbacks are factual: the flat needs renovation and updating throughout, and the local area records relatively high crime levels — buyers should factor security and refurbishment costs into their plans. There is limited private outdoor space and proximity to neighbouring properties may deter those seeking a large family garden. A service charge (reported around £2,000) applies, and any structural reconfiguration would require planning approval.
This property will suit first-time buyers wanting a long-lease period property to personalise, or investors targeting reconfiguration and rental uplift. It’s a characterful blank canvas in a bustling, well-connected part of Hove but needs budget and commitment to modernise.
