St Johns Road is a fabulously friendly 'mewsey' community in the heart of central Hove. Hove Lawns and the shimmering sea at the bottom of the road. At the top lies the picturesque Palmeira Square and the many delights of Church Road. St Johns is tucked between Adelaide Crescent and First Avenue, it originated as coach houses and stables for the the affluent residents four legged transportation. Later the evolution of the internal combustion engine moved the street from four legs to four wheels. Garages, service stations and places to buy fuel became the norm and today the road is an eclectic mix of high in demand residential properties, architects offices, arty places, motor shops and dare we say... the city's finest agents of quality homes for the discerning!
This gorgeous apartment is in the top floor of a converted coach house. Those major works were completed in 2005 and the end result is rather special. The communal hallway has an area for bike storage as well as fantastically handy ground floor storage cupboards - ideal for paddle/surf boards etc. Our beauty is on the second (top floor) The open plan living/dining room is a lovely large reception area with ample room for soft seating and dining. Wooden floors and lovely roof line angles add to the character and charm. The integrated kitchen is open plan but suitably 'round the corner' so as not to intrude or impinge. It has plenty of worktop space and storage options. It is well equipped with a gas hob, electric oven and eyelevel integrated microwave. The master bedroom is a good size with built in storage cupboard. Bedroom 2 also has a built in cupboard. The tiled bathroom has a full length bath with a mains screened shower.
