2 bed Flat For Sale £475,000
Beautifully presented and incredibly well-designed; this two-bedroom apartment is immediately impressive. It is formed from the lower ground floor of a Victorian townhouse yet being set back from the road with a southerly aspect, it is naturally light and airy. It also benefits from a south facing courtyard and a large rear garden, while inside it has been renovated using only the finest materials and fittings.
It resides on a grand tree lined road in central Hove, just minutes from Hove Station and the eclectic mix of bars, restaurants, cafes and boutique shops of Church Road, but it is also ideal for families with popular schools, parks and the beach nearby. Transport links are also excellent by road, bus or by bike, so this immaculate home is sure to appeal to professionals and investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:
Generous, sun-filled rooms, a stylish interior and plenty of outside space are just some of the qualities which make this property stand out. Almost every inch of this home has been renovated, restored and reconfigured over several years to create a home which provides both form and function. It has evolved from a city pad for professionals to a family home, and in both circumstances, it has offered comfortable and versatile living space; ideal for both entertaining and relaxation.
Attractive on approach, the steps leading down to the entrance courtyard have been paved in slate, and a timber clad planter (when in bloom) provides some privacy from the street. Secure bike storage has been built into the vaults below the foot path, and there is plenty of space to sit out in the summer sunshine by your own street entrance.
Once inside, the utility room has been cleverly concealed in a second, internal vaulted area which has been ventilated for the tumble dryer and the kitchen is the first room to welcome you in.
Sleek gloss units run along both walls at both eye and base levels and have been topped with natural granite for a refined and hard-wearing finish. Within the units, the refuse drawer, microwave, fan oven, fridge freezer, four-ring gas hob and extractor fan have been integrated, leaving space and plumbing for a dishwasher, and the splash backs are on trend in a white metro brick tile with a glass panel behind the hob.
Vinyl Stone effect floors make way for solid oak boards which flow into the living and dining room to the left. With generous proportions, high ceilings and a southerly aspect, it is naturally bright, and while daylight is able to stream right through, it is also completely private from the street. Two tall sash windows look out to the front courtyard, while taking centre stage, a classic period fireplace with a black granite hearth has been reinstated. While this is just for decoration at present, it would be possible to have an open fire with some professional investigation and the addition of a chimney flue. There is a significant amount of space in here for both formal dining, entertaining and relaxation, and the décor is immaculate in restful tones.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the property are both double bedrooms and the bathroom. Every element of the bathroom design has been carefully considered and the finish in here is exemplary. There is underfloor heating below the stone floors, and both the tiles and fixtures and fittings are Villeroy and Boch. Embedded in the wall, the steam-free mirror is seamless, and the contemporary vanity units complement the mirrored wall cabinets with a mahogany trim. Exiting the wet room shower, your towels are warmed on a modern ladder style radiator in white, and while this is an internal room, it has excellent ventilation and subtle lighting.
Both bedrooms have quality carpet underfoot, and both enjoy leafy views over the garden. The smaller double has a curved ceiling echoing the shape of the lower ground floor vaults, and with double glazing, it is even more tranquil. Next door, the master bedroom is exceptionally spacious with plenty of floor space – even with a king size bed. This is accentuated by the wall of built-in wardrobes and drawers which holds a wealth of storage solutions for at least two people, and also allows storage for household items. Timber framed French doors open to the garden which is completely private, so during the summer you can lie in bed and listen to birdsong as you wake, making it hard to believe you are so close to the city centre.
This is a garden of three parts; with a patio area for barbecues and for children to play and scoot. There is a sizable shed for your garden furniture and tools, and steps lead up to a sweet area of lawn and shingle which looks out over the neighbouring gardens. There are tropical palms and well-established plants to add texture, shape and scent to the space, and a screen of bamboo reveals the third section of garden to the rear. With the feel of an Italian garden, the high walls are festooned with climbing honeysuckle, and with a westerly aspect, this is a lovely spot to sit out on a summers evening with friends as you are not overlooked at all.
Agent’s thoughts:
This apartment has been beautifully renovated and is exceptionally light and airy for a lower ground property. Being ideally located for both Brighton and Hove’s cultural and social centres; for the station and the beach; it is sure to be snapped up.
Owners’ thoughts:
“We were so lucky to move into this property after much of the renovation had taken place. We immediately fell in love with the space and the peace and quiet within the flat and the garden is just bliss during the warmer weather – particularly with a young child. That said, the location with the beach, Hove Lawns, Hove Park and the station on our doorstep is also wonderful – we are simply looking for a house now, but we will really miss it here.”
