Bright top-floor one-bed with balcony sea views — chain-free and share of freehold.
South-facing balcony with direct sea view
Top-floor apartment on Hove seafront with direct south-facing sea views from the lounge and balcony. The bright one-bedroom layout offers generous storage, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and period character in a well-maintained Victorian building. A long 999-year lease and share of freehold reduce long-term ownership concerns, and the property is offered chain-free for a quick move or let.
This apartment is attractive to first-time buyers and investors: the layout could be reconfigured into two bedrooms subject to planning consent, increasing rental or resale potential. Practical features include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and resident-friendly conveniences close by — cafes, shops and transport links are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note several material points: the flat is on the third (top) floor with no lift, which affects accessibility; the surrounding area records higher-than-average crime levels; and the service charge is approximately £1,800 per year (c. £150 pcm). The property is an average-sized 468 sq ft, so space is comfortable but not generous. Any conversion to two bedrooms will require consent and likely further costs.
