This substantial Grade II Regency villa has been sensitively restored and configured as generous multi-level living with a rare west-facing garden. The current layout provides a self-contained one-bed ground-floor apartment plus a three-bedroom maisonette above, offering clear scope for inter-generational living or consolidation into a single family home. High ceilings, authentic period details and sea views from the first-floor balcony create an elegant, bright living environment.
The garden is a standout asset for central Hove — unusually large, west-facing and with planning consent for a summer house (plans available). The refurbishment is described as high-spec, with carefully restored period finishes, modern kitchens, bathrooms and discreet 21st-century services including a car-charger power point. Proximity to Western Road cafés, Hove Lawns and stations with fast links to Gatwick and London adds strong convenience.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which preserves character but will constrain changes and can increase maintenance complexity and cost. It is leasehold (very long 994-year term) with on-street permit parking only. External scaffolding noted and some façade repairs appear in progress, and the building’s original solid brick walls mean limited insulation without further works.
This is best for buyers seeking a rare, characterful family home near the sea or owners wanting a prestigious, design-led property with flexible living arrangements. Investors or buyers planning substantial alteration should factor in listed-building permissions and conservation-sensitive costs.
