Compact 54 sq.m (582 sq.ft) — efficient layout but overall small
16' lounge with exposed brick chimney breast and plantation shutters
Recently re-fitted bathroom and modern kitchen — move-in ready
Cavity walls likely without insulation — potential heating inefficiency
Central Hove location; short walk to station, seafront and amenities
Set within a handsome period villa in central Hove, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment blends original character with modern updates. The 16-foot lounge features an exposed brick chimney breast, sash windows and plantation-style shutters, creating a bright, characterful living space. A contemporary kitchen and recently re-fitted bathroom add immediate move-in convenience.
The flat is compact at 54 sq.m (582 sq.ft) but efficiently arranged, with two well-proportioned bedrooms and gas central heating. Its central location is a standout: Church Road shops, cafés and Hove station (direct to London) are a short walk away, and the seafront and promenade are easily reached on foot.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining, an annual service charge around £1,400 and ground rent approximately £100. The building’s cavity walls are likely uninsulated (as built), which may affect heating costs and encourage future insulation works. Local crime levels are higher than average — factor this into parking and security considerations.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or commuter seeking a central, characterful home with low immediate maintenance needs but some medium-term costs to plan for (lease, service charge, possible insulation improvements). Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
