1 bed Flat For Sale £350,000
Cambridge Road, Hove, BN3

With soaring ceilings, original features and a newly renovated interior, this generous one-bedroom apartment is a real gem in the city. It is formed from the entire second floor of a substantial townhouse on Cambridge Road, so it is just minutes from the beach, two commuter stations and the vibrant social scenes of both Western and Church Roads. Inside it is perfectly spacious with a large open plan living room and kitchen facing west, and a generous east facing en suite bedroom to the rear. It holds a wealth of original period detail which has been blended with stylish fixtures and fittings, so it is ready for the modern lifestyle while having retained its character and charm. It would be a fantastic upgrade or downsize for some, or a sound investment for buy-to-let landlords as the location is one of the most sought-after in the city.

Why you’ll like it:

Brunswick Town Conservation Area has retained its popularity since its creation during the early years of the 19th Century. Not only is the architecture striking, but the tree-lines roads of townhouses are so perfectly positioned close to the sea, the city and two commuter stations.
This apartment sits elevated above it all on the second floor of a townhouse close to the lower end of the road, closer to the sea and the boutique shops and restaurants of Western Road. Stone steps lead up to the main door which opens to a well-maintained communal stairwell. Stepping into the apartment, the eye is immediately drawn to the main reception room which spans the front of the building with a wide bay window framing views of the attractive homes opposite. Facing west, a lovely, warm light, filters in during the afternoon and early evening to naturally warm the space. The ceiling is high, adding to the feeling if space inside, and while the decoration is modern, the period features of the building have been retained. Taking centre stage is a grand marble fireplace and the sash windows. There is ample space for relaxation and entertaining in here, with room for formal dining or informal drinks at the ruby-gloss breakfast bar running alongside the kitchen.

Well equipped with plenty of storage in dark wood cabinetry, the kitchen is smart and stylish with white worktops and an integrated oven, gas hob and space for a dishwasher. Space has been left for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine which may be available by separate negotiation.

To the rear of the building, looking out over the peaceful neighbouring gardens and mature trees, the bedroom is a beautiful double room with space for a king size bed alongside several pieces of bedroom furniture. The immaculate decoration continues in here and the room also boasts a chic en suite shower room. There is a second bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC – ideal for guests so they don’t have to walk through the bedroom to get to the facilities when visiting.

Agent’s thoughts:
This apartment is incredibly well-presented with many unique features, so it is ready to move straight into or let out immediately with ease.

Owner’s thoughts:
“It was the space, light and features of the flat which sold it to us when we first saw it, so we knew we could make it a really comfortable home. It’s great for entertaining, but equally, the location is so convenient for an evening out.”
