A compact one-bedroom ground/raised-flat in central Hove offering a straightforward buy-to-let or first-time purchase opportunity. The flat totals 342 ft² (approx. 31.8 m²) with an efficient open-plan living/kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom — simple, economical accommodation in a well-connected neighbourhood.
Location is the main asset: Farm Road sits moments from Church Road’s shops, cafes and transport links, making the flat attractive to renters or someone seeking a central pied-à-terre. The property is chain-free and sits in a period Georgian terrace with character features retained internally.
Important practical points are honest and material. The building is scaffolded and undergoing external works, so purchasers must allow for communal repair programmes and potential service charges. The flat is leasehold (153 years remaining) and very small with limited storage and no private outdoor space; these factors suit lettings or a buyer seeking a compact, low-maintenance home rather than family living.
For investors, the excellent mobile and fast broadband, central location and ready-to-rent layout support rental demand. For owner-occupiers, minimal internal updating is possible but solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and the ongoing external works should be factored into budgeting and long-term maintenance plans. The property will be sold at auction on 16/09/2025.
