Why you’ll like it:
Leading down from Hove Rec to the sea, The Drive is as central to Hove as you can be. The new and improved West View sits at the leafy end close to the park, and is an attractive Mid-Century building surrounded by lawns and mature trees. Having undergone complete refurbishment in 2018, a top floor was added, and the communal ways were also modernised to include a new steel lift and a wide screen video-phone entry system.
You approach across a raised walkway with gardens below you to double doors leading into a smart lobby. Here, you can take the stairs or the lift to the top floor which is shared by just three other penthouse apartments.
Once inside, it is immediately clear this is a modern and stylish space with Polyfloor wood effect flooring flowing along the hallway and into the glorious reception room at the far end. The palette throughout is neutral yet on trend, and LED downlighting illuminates each space. There are deep cupboards housing the eco heating system alongside plenty of storage for coats, shoes and household items, to ensure the apartment remains clutter free.
First to the left is the generous double bedroom which has soft carpet underfoot and a beautiful feature wall where watercolour brushstrokes create an Eastern mountain scene in cool, muted tones. A large picture window on the southerly wall frames the first of the far-reaching views across the city towards the coast; including the i360 as it rises up into the sky.
Conveniently opposite, the bathroom us wonderfully luxurious, tiled in marble-effect porcelain around the modern bath suite. This has a shower over it and has natural light which streams in through a light well with a rain-sensor self-closing Velux window. For the evening time, the mirror is back lit, and there is a shaver port plus plenty of storage for toiletries and towels.
Spanning the far end of the flat is the open plan living room and kitchen which opens fully to the sun terrace via white aluminium, triple-glazed bi-fold doors.
When open, the entertaining space effectively doubles as the roof terrace is an incredible size and is a lovely extension of the home during the summer months. It looks out to the tree tops surrounding the building – giving the impression you are in a treehouse, and being open to the south and the west, it receives plenty of sunshine. During the day, your line of sight takes you right over to the rolling hills of the South Downs too – reminding you just how perfectly positioned this city is between the countryside and the coast.
Returning inside, the living room has clearly defined areas for formal dining, relaxation and entertaining. Open to the room and well-designed so as not to dominate the space, the kitchen is chic, with matt-cashmere cabinetry topped with pale quartz, and the splashbacks are a metro brick tile. The AEG appliances include a washer dryer, a fan oven with gas hob and a slim-line dishwasher – all of which have been integrated, so you can move straight in with ease.
Keeping you warm during the winter, each of the radiators has digital sensors allowing easy adjustments from anywhere in the apartment – and indeed via an app from your phone.
Agent’s thoughts:
This apartment holds an air of exclusivity and the views are simply breath-taking. It has also been finished to a very high standard throughout and expertly maintained, so it is ready to move straight into.
Owner’s thoughts:
“This has been a lovely space for entertaining and for working from home as it is ultimately peaceful. The terrace is a wonderful space for dining alfresco during the summer and the sunsets are magnificent. You can watch the fireworks from the cricket ground or listen to the birds in the trees – it’s a real haven up here. As a commuter, this is the perfect apartment as you can be in London in just over an hour door to door, and nip to the beach on your way home in the summer to catch the last of the day’s rays.”
