Why you’ll like it:
Built during the 1970s, these attractive low-rise developments have been sensitively blended into their green surroundings. The leafy environs of Hove Park are on the doorstep, and the grounds themselves offer a pretty and private outlook for the residents. A sweeping drive leads to the upper buildings where this flat resides on the ground floor. An entry phone provides access and stepping inside it is clear this is a spacious apartment. The entrance hall is particularly wide and welcoming with a vast amount of storage within two double built-in cupboards to house coats shoes and household items.
The first double bedroom is a very large double room with space for a seating area, dressing table and a king size bed. There are further wardrobes built-in which maximise the space further and the westerly window is brings in plenty of natural light while framing private garden views. Bedroom two is another fine size double looking out over the lawns, although this room is currently being used as a dining room, it is clearly able to house a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding bedroom furniture.
Along the hall, the bathroom has been modernised with grey wood-effect flooring and white wall tiles with a yellow border adding a welcome pop of colour. The shower sits over the bath and there is a heated rail for towels. Usefully, the WC is separate and has a generous room of its own with space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer if need be.
The generous proportions continue in the living room which has the original parquet flooring and dual aspect windows to include a wide box bay offering the perfect space for a dining table and chairs. There is amble space in here for comfortable furnishings and it is wonderfully quiet due to its position at the rear of the building.
Nearby, the kitchen is well-equipped with wooden units at both base and wall levels. Space has been left within them for a tall fridge freezer and a cooker (not included), but the entire space could be modernised which would add value.
The garden is accessible from the communal hallway and is currently in full spring bloom. Positioned on the corner, this apartment often has sole use of the gardens around it, so it feels private and is not overlooked by neighbouring homes.
Agent’s thoughts:
There is so much potential for modernisation in these apartments as they offer plenty of space and well-proportioned rooms. The addition of a garage and parking will make this property a hugely attractive prospect to many.
