Summary - 2, ALBANY VILLAS, HOVE BN3 2RU
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Large Grade II-listed villa near sea; big potential but needs renovation and listed consent.
Five bedrooms across multiple floors, circa 3,071 sqft
A grand Grade II-listed Victorian villa on one of Hove’s most desirable streets, this spacious five-bedroom semi-detached home offers rare scope and character within walking distance of the seafront and Hove station. The property spans around 3,071 sqft over multiple levels, with high ceilings, Regency-style bay windows, two reception rooms on the raised ground floor, additional reception space in the lower ground level and a west-facing private garden and patio that catches afternoon sun.
This house is for buyers who prize period detail and space and are prepared to manage a substantial renovation. The layout gives flexibility — the ground floor currently includes a large bathroom and two reception rooms (one used as a bedroom), while upper floors provide four further bedrooms and storage. The lower-ground kitchen and reception rooms present strong potential to create a modern family living hub overlooking the garden.
Important practical points: the home runs on electric storage heaters, has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and although fitted with double glazing the install dates are unknown. As a Grade II-listed building, works will be subject to listed-building constraints which can complicate and increase the cost of renovations. Council tax is described as expensive.
For families or buyers seeking a project with excellent location benefits — off-street parking (rare for this road), large internal space and a sizable garden — this property is a compelling opportunity. Those wanting a turnkey, low-maintenance house should note the renovation requirement and listed-status limitations before viewing.
