Summary - GROUND FLOOR FLAT, 5, ROMAN ROAD BN3 4LB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free, long lease apartment close to Hove seafront and stations.
Around 538 sq ft — compact two-bedroom layout
A compact two-bedroom apartment a short walk from Hove seafront, offering bright, practical living across about 538 sq ft. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and there’s a second small bedroom or home-office — good for a first home or pied-à-terre. The lounge/diner links with the kitchen via double doors, giving a flexible, airy feel.
Practical positives include a long lease (around 150 years), no onward chain and easy access to Hove and Portslade stations for direct London services. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and retains period character externally while internal finishes are straightforward and neutral, ready for personal updating.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment’s modest overall size and a single bathroom — space will suit singles, couples or buyers wanting an affordable seafront base, rather than a growing family. The property is leasehold, and some elements are aged: the double glazing was installed before 2002 and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so you may want to factor in potential upgrade costs for thermal efficiency.
This location in a very affluent, low-crime area close to parks, cafés and good schools will particularly appeal to first-time buyers seeking coastal living with strong transport links. The flat represents a manageable project: move in as-is, or update to add value and improve comfort.
