About
A fantastic opportunity to purchase a one-bedroom garden apartment, moments from Hove station, in an elegant Victorian building on Goldstone Villas.
As you arrive, the property makes a strong first impression.
The bay-fronted building, built in attractive yellow brick, is well maintained and steps lead down to the private entrance of the garden flat on the lower ground floor.
Inside, a long hallway widens towards the rear of the building. At the front of the flat is a very spacious double bedroom with a bay window overlooking the front garden.
White shutters provide privacy, while a decorative fireplace adds character. Along one wall there are large wardrobes, which will remain with the property.
The reception areas – a living/dining room and a separate kitchen – are located at the rear, with direct access from both rooms to the garden.
The living/dining room is generously proportioned and has double doors opening onto the wide side return, where there is a patio.
Beyond this lies a delightful walled west-facing garden, extending approximately 14 metres in length.
The lawn is bordered by mature trees and shrubs, including an apple tree, and at the far end there is a second patio and a shed.
The kitchen is practical and stylish, with sleek cream gloss cabinets, an integrated gas hob with cooker hood above, an electric fan oven with grill, space for a full-height fridge freezer, and space for a washing machine.
The bathroom features a modern white suite with a shower over the bath, a handbasin set in a vanity unit with chrome pillar tap, and a chrome towel rail.
In the lobby between the kitchen and bathroom is a cupboard housing the Worcester Greenstar combination boiler.
This apartment combines spacious accommodation with a stand-out garden, in a location that is second to none.
Hove station is just moments away, with direct services to London Victoria and Littlehampton. The No. 7 bus runs from Goldstone Villas, with additional routes departing from Blatchington Road.
The area has a welcoming community feel, with a wide choice of cafés, pubs and shops along Goldstone Villas, George Street, Portland Road and Blatchington Road.
Parks including Hove Park, St Ann’s Well Gardens and Stoneham Park are all within easy reach.
A large Tesco is close by on Church Road, while Goldstone Retail Park is home to major stores such as TK Maxx and Lidl.
