Why you'll like it:
With the sea sparkling away at the bottom of the road and the bustling café culture of Church Road at the top, you can feel the electric energy of this thriving and fashionable coastal city. These substantial homes were built in the 1870s to cater for the ever-increasing population who were flocking to live in the then 'Town', yet 150 years later they still command the same air of grandeur with ornate architectural detailing and grand entrances. While most have since been converted into separate dwellings, they remain exclusive, and have retained their popularity over the years.
This apartment lies within a particularly impressive, detached villa set back from the road behind neat front gardens flanking sweeping steps up to the main door. This flat has a separate entrance on the lower ground floor, shared by just one other apartment, adding to the sense of privacy.
Having been completely renovated just two years ago, the wiring, heating, plumbing, sound insulation, plastering and fittings are all new, so you can rest assured they will last for many years to come. From the moment you enter, the fine quality finish is evident and it is clear only the finest fittings and materials have been used in its creation. Stepping into the wide and welcoming entrance hall, gleaming white floor tiles flow throughout, and the walls are white to complement – both brightening the space further. There is a large built-in cupboard almost covering one wall with space for coats, shoes, clothes and household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.
Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, so it is wonderfully warm during the cooler seasons, then in summer, the living room has direct access to the communal rear garden which becomes an extension of the home during summer. A decked seating area has been created to just outside the back door and is used by the residents of this flat only, while the rest of the garden is set to lawn with mature borders and a westerly aspect, so it receives plenty of afternoon sunshine.
There is ample space within the living room for formal dining and relaxed seating although the entrance hall could easily be used as a dining space if need be. It is currently used as a home office which works equally well. Stepping down from here, the kitchen has been well-designed with streamlined cabinetry topped with composite stone and resin worktops for a hardwearing and contemporary finish. Within these, the washer dryer, oven, gas hob and fridge freezer have been integrated and there is a vast amount of storage space for food, crockery and glassware at both base and wall levels.
Uniquely, this property has two bathrooms. The first is a modern shower room positioned off the entrance hall. A powerful rainfall shower sits within a glass and slate lined cubicle while the curved vanity unit complements the scheme in charcoal gloss. Above the basin, an LED mirror illuminates the space an there is a heated rail for towels.
The bedroom sits opposite with a luxurious en suite with a WC, basin and a jacuzzi, hot tub style bath - perfect for sharing. Again, the finish is modern with a streamlined vanity unit for toiletries below the basin and an LED oblong mirror bringing light into the room. There is space within the bedroom for a king bed and freestanding furnishings and while it sits to the front of the building, it is private from the street due to the lower ground position.
Agent's thoughts:
Unique and beautifully presented, this property is immediately impressive and the bonus of having such a large garden will definitely appeal. It also has a Share of the Freehold and is ideally positioned for Church Road and Hove Station, so it would be perfect for professionals looking to experience the quintessential Hove lifestyle by the sea.
Owner's secret
"I bought the flat in 2019 as a complete project and i'm really happy with the end results. It was a labour of love, so I decided to live here at first, then rented it out as a successful holiday let for some of the year. The building is really friendly and well-maintained, and the garden is lovely during the summer. It is a pet friendly building too and the flat is great for entertaining as it is wonderfully spacious with several areas, both inside and out, for dining. I have found my next project in another town, but I hope the next owners enjoy the space as much as I have."
