About
Perfectly positioned on The Drive in central Hove, within easy reach of Church Road, the seafront and Brighton city centre, this spacious three-bedroom fourth-floor flat offers approximately 805 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation, together with a west-facing balcony and allocated off-road parking - an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers and young families looking for space in a highly convenient location.
Recently freshened throughout with newly painted walls and woodwork, the property is presented in good, clean condition with neutral décor providing an ideal base for a new owner to make their own.
The living room (4.44m x 3.49m / 14'7" x 11'6") provides generous space for relaxing and entertaining, with direct access onto the west-facing balcony (3.83m x 1.30m / 12'7" x 4'3").
Large enough for a small table and chairs and offering a glimpse towards the sea, this is a particularly appealing outdoor space for enjoying the afternoon and evening sun.
Adjacent is the separate kitchen (3.49m x 2.18m / 11'5" x 7'2"), featuring white cabinetry, contrasting black worktops and dark grey vinyl flooring.
The appliances are included, and the kitchen is in good working order. Three bedrooms provide excellent flexibility.
Bedroom One (3.86m x 3.50m / 12'8" x 11'6") is a generous double with fitted storage, while Bedroom Two (3.88m x 2.62m / 12'9" x 8'7") provides another comfortable bedroom.
Bedroom Three (3.50m x 1.95m / 11'6" x 6'5") has most recently accommodated a small double bed and would equally suit a nursery or home office.
The accommodation is completed by a white-tiled bathroom with bath and shower over, a separate WC and excellent storage throughout.
Further benefits include double glazing, gas central heating via a combination boiler, lift access, intercom entry and one allocated off-road parking space with permit.
The location is a major attraction.
Church Road's extensive amenities are within easy reach, as are Hove seafront and the wider shops, leisure facilities and attractions of central Brighton & Hove, making this an exceptionally convenient base for everyday life.
Offered with no onward chain, this spacious and versatile flat combines location, outside space and valuable off-road parking with the opportunity for a buyer to add their own style over time.
