A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with a private patio garden, close to Hove station and local amenities. The layout is compact at approximately 545 sq ft, arranged for bright, practical living with a reception room, separate kitchen and contemporary bathroom. The flat is suitable for a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate rental income; current estimated rent is around £1,200 pcm.
Important practical points are clear: the lease has about 58 years remaining, which may deter some mortgage lenders and will need addressing by any purchaser. The property will be sold at auction (10th December 2025) with pre-auction offers accepted, so buyers should act quickly and check financing options in advance. The building is Victorian, with solid brick walls and no assumed cavity insulation; double glazing was installed after 2002 and heating is gas boiler and radiators.
The apartment offers scope for improvement and value-add projects — cosmetic updating, insulation work and potential reconfiguration could increase its appeal and rental return. Note the local area records higher-than-average crime levels; prospective buyers should consider security improvements. For commuters, the short walk to Hove station and fast broadband and mobile signal are significant conveniences.
