This bright one-bedroom apartment in Downsman Court is presented in immaculate, newly renovated condition and is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking an affordable route into Hove. The open-plan kitchen/living room with outward-opening French doors leads to a balcony with views toward the South Downs and sea, bringing plenty of natural light into the 550 sq ft layout. Two large hall cupboards and an integrated bedroom wardrobe maximise storage in a compact, practical plan.
The property is offered as shared ownership (35% share) — full price £265,000, your share £92,750 with monthly rent of £378.40 and a service charge of £130.39. The long lease (about 245 years remaining) and EPC B provide security and energy efficiency benefits. An allocated off-street parking space is included, useful in this suburban location.
Location is a strong point: regular buses and A27 access are close by, with Portslade, Hove and Aldrington stations within easy reach for commutes to Brighton, Gatwick or London. The seafront is under ten minutes by car and the South Downs are nearby for walks and cycling, offering a blend of coastal and countryside leisure.
Buyers should note the home sits within an area classified as higher deprivation and multi-ethnic hardship; local socio-economic indicators are below average. Shared ownership means resale and staircasing rules will apply — check eligibility and long-term costs. Overall, this low-maintenance, modern flat offers an economical first step onto the property ladder in Hove with good transport links and pleasant outlooks.
