The imposing soft golden brick façade of this unique Victorian building has stood on Hove’s iconic seafront for almost 150 years. Set on the lower ground floor of arguably the most prominent listed building in the Avenues Conservation Area, this spacious home certainly boasts a handsome approach. A chic residents lounge with full IT provisions and a private meeting room, gives residents an extension to their living space and offers a sophisticated spot to relax, meet with friends, work from home or hold appointments.
On entering the apartment from the exceptional communal areas, an entrance hallway provides access to all rooms. At the centre of this beautifully designed home is the open plan living, statement kitchen and dining area, a substantial space. The statement kitchen is arranged in a classic u-shape and follows a sophisticated design featuring composite stone worktops, soft close integrated, handleless kitchen furniture, under-mounted sink, a wealth of integrated Bosch appliances and ample worktop and cupboard space. The area affords more than sufficient space for dining. Worthy of note is the beautiful oak flooring laid in herringbone style which flows throughout the hallway, open plan living and kitchen areas, complementing the oversized skirting boards and architraves.
Adjacent is the bedroom, the room is a very good-sized double and benefits from bespoke fitted wardrobes and a large west facing sash window. The luxurious shower room is accessible from the hallway and features a fully tiled walk in shower with large format wall tiling, Vado premium brassware, large fixed shower head and additional retractable handset, Terrazzo floor tiles, hexagon mosaic wall tiling to the sink and WC area, Geberit sanitaryware with concealed dual flush cistern and soft close seat, mirrored vanity unit and underfloor heating. A large storage/utility cupboard is appropriately positioned in the entrance hallway, perfect for tidying away outdoor shoes and clothing.
For security and peace of mind the apartment offers an audio/video entry system which is connected to the communal entrance doors and a gated underground car park with EV charging points.
Outside
Perfect for pet owners, al fresco dining and terrace gardening, this immaculately presented wrap around terrace is immediately accessible from the living area. It is a fantastic size and has a south/westerly aspect with the sun hitting the soft golden bricks in the morning moving around the terrace until late afternoon. From early to late evening the warm sun streams through the beautiful Italianate arches into the living area. Enjoy endless evenings with the patio doors open looking at the blue skies and the flowers and lanterns on the terrace all from the comfort of the sofa.
The property is sold with a designated underground parking space in the gated car park accessed from Second Avenue, providing easy access to Kings House and the designated underground cycle storage.
