Brilliantly located in one of Hove’s most sought-after areas between Church Road and the Kingsway; a well presented TWO BEDROOM RAISED GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT with AN EAST FACING REAR GARDEN and a TERRACE.
Set within an elegant yellow brick Victorian villa, the flat retains a wealth of original features, including decorative cornicing, picture rails, and dado rails, adding timeless character to the home.
The spacious lounge benefits from a large sash bay window that floods the room with natural light and features a charming fireplace as a focal point. Adjacent to the lounge is a separate kitchen, thoughtfully designed with grey shaker-style cabinets and a practical serving nook for added convenience.
To the rear of the property, two well-proportioned bedrooms offer peaceful views of the generous rear garden and provide direct access to the private terrace. The principal bedroom includes an in-built storage cupboard, while the second bedroom offers ample versatility. Completing the accommodation is a modern bathroom featuring a white suite and a shower over the bath.
When it comes to shops, bars and restaurants the hubbub of Church Road, George Street and Blatchington Road all offer plenty of choice surrounded by iconic period architecture. Hove Lawns, Palmeira Square and Adelaide Crescent offer plenty of green open spaces to relax in, while the beach and seafront is never far away. For cricket fans the County ground is found on Eaton Road.
The beach, promenade and Hove Lawns are a leisurely stroll away. Along the seafront lies the newly named Hove Beach Park, which will feature a range of outdoor sports and leisure facilities, including tennis courts, padel tennis and improved green spaces. A brand-new café and restaurant will be as part of its development. The café will be located within the Outdoor Sports Hub at Hove Beach Park and will feature a restaurant at the first-floor level with terraces on three sides. Additionally, there will be a ground-floor kiosk, as well as public amenities like toilets, showers, and changing facilities.
Down on the seafront, a parade of local independent amenities on Kingsway includes the ever-popular Franco’s Osteria, the Sugar dough Bakery and the Kernel of Hove health food store. The renowned Marrocco’s is close at hand on King’s Esplanade with handmade Italian ice-cream, perfect for hot summer days.
