About
This charming one-bedroom flat is the perfect opportunity to get a foot on the ladder in a fabulous city location.
It has the generous proportions of the Victorian era as it resides on the first floor of a grand townhouse in Central Hove, just a stroll away from two commuter stations, the beach and the city centre shops.
Many original features have been retained and with an additional mezzanine sleeping level it is full of unique character.
Facing west at the front of the building, it benefits from full height windows framing city views and there is access to a sweet balcony from the bedroom, so you can watch the world go by as the sun sets.
Built during the 1890s, these gracious buildings are abundant with impressive architectural detailing, so to live within one will leave you feeling a little bit grand every time you come home.
Ever since their inception, they have retained their popularity, as not only are the sea and Hove Lawns just a short stroll down the hill, but there’s a plethora of cosmopolitan shops and restaurants of at the bottom of the road.
This stylish on-bedroom flat sits elevated on the first floor to the front of the building, where the ceilings are highest, and the windows are floor to ceiling to take full advantage of the natural light.
After a short climb through a neat and nicely decorated communal hallway, your door is clearly numbered, and once inside, it is the light from these windows which draws you in.
Above your head the ceiling soars, adorned with the decorative cornicing of the era, while a grand marble fireplace takes centre stage.
A palette of calico and cream on the walls and carpeted floor offers a stylish yet neutral blank canvas while brightening the space further, offering ample space for generous sofas and a dining table and chairs alongside the kitchen or in the bay.
Carpets make way for stone floor tiles in the kitchen area which is well-equipped with storage and integrated appliances within modern units, and while it is open to the main room, it doesn’t impose, being tucked away against the rear wall.
Next door, the bedroom shares the lofty ceilings and cool decoration of the living space.
It is a double room with access to the balcony, west facing for sun downers while watching the city come alive at night.
A ladder rises to the mezzanine level which is ideal as a second sleeping area for guests, or for additional storage, although there are deep cupboards within the hall for household items.
Nearby, the bathroom is beautifully appointed with mineralised slate wall tiles around the bath which has a rainfall shower above it.
