Why you'll like it:
In one of the most convenient areas of our coastal city with everything you need on your doorstep, this maisonette has the perfect blend of old and new. Set back from the broad tree lined avenue this gracious building has glorious architectural detail and the grand entrance is now secured by answer phone. Inside, the hushed communal hall has retained impressive period features which include an original staircase which sweeps up, past magnificent stain glass windows, to this apartment on the third floor.

Private stairs lead to a central landing where this home spreads its wings to both the east and west, so it is full of sunlight and ahead, the magnificent reception soars above the trees of the avenue below, so it is easy to forget you are in the heart of a thriving international coastal resort. With ample space in which to relax or entertain, oak parquet is underfoot, elegant swan neck coving is high above your head and traditional radiators have been carefully sourced to be in keeping with the age of the building. Across the hall, skilful design continues in the stylish kitchen where painted units are topped by natural wood surfaces. Beneath a tall window looking over gardens, the butlers sink embraces the history of the building, whilst the fitted appliances are the best the 21st century has to offer and include a touch induction hob, hood with choice of lighting and both a combi and fan oven, and a dishwasher and washer/drier are also integrated for you.

Next door, a spacious bedroom could be a comfortable office if you were thinking of working from home. Leafy views are restful and glimpses of the glittering pod of the i360 reminds you that the beach is just a three minute walk. The central bathroom is a classic beauty decorated in the colours of the sea with a freestanding baignoir which has a shower attachment, the flooring is natural slate and there is a warming rail for towels.

At the top of a staircase beneath a skylight, the master suite spans the full width of this floor with custom built wardrobes as well as a cupboard providing all the storage you could dream of. The floorspace is generous even with a double bed in place and the chic en suite shower is wet room in style and lined in natural slate which conceals underfloor heating. Private and peaceful at the back, the guest bedroom has a velux in the roof line from which you catch glimpses of the English Channel, with fitted wardrobes made to measure and a fabulous en suite shower room which also has heating underfoot.

Agent says:
"Hove is famous for its stately terraces, and this large maisonette is in a tree lined avenue of beautiful buildings for you to enjoy and it is quietly tucked away from the crowds of tourists."

Owner's secret:
"The apartment is light and ideal for entertaining, which we love to do, especially at Christmas as the reception is large enough for a big tree. High above the avenue it is quiet and with only one apartment on each floor, the building is peaceful and our neighbours are considerate. There's a good balance having the vibrant shops and bars outside and privacy inside, and we have made the most of having the sea and open green spaces of St Anne's Wells on the doorstep."
