A compact top-floor one-bedroom (with occasional second bedroom/office) positioned on Old Shoreham Road, moments from Hove station and local amenities. The flat offers an open-plan lounge/kitchen, a double bedroom, a small second room ideal for a home office, and a bathroom — all arranged across approximately 402 sq ft. Share of freehold and 114 years remaining on the lease make ownership straightforward, with no onward chain.
Internally the apartment feels bright and current: walnut floors, double glazing throughout and triple glazing to the front bedroom, plus mains gas central heating. A vaulted / high-ceiling living area adds a sense of space despite the overall small footprint. The Energy Performance Certificate is a C, reflecting reasonable efficiency for a property of this age.
Practical points to note: the building is an Edwardian construction with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than a modern build. Crime levels are above average for the area, and room sizes are compact — the second bedroom is best suited as an office or occasional guest room rather than a full-time double. This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into Hove or an investor looking for a city-centre rental with easy transport links.
