Cromwell Road, Hove, BN3 3EA

GUIDE PRICE £300,000 With high ceilings, original features and far-reaching views over the city to the South Downs; this beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment is a real gem.

It is formed from the entire second floor of a substantial Victorian townhouse, just 3-minutes on foot from Hove Station, so it is also brilliantly located in the city.

It has been expertly maintained by the current owner, so you can move straight in with ease, and start enjoying the space immediately.

Transport links by bus and road are also excellent, as are the local schools, plus the beach and shops of both Blatchington and Church Roads are a mere stroll away.

Indeed, there is no better place to truly experience the Brighton & Hove lifestyle than here.

Style: 2nd floor apartment in a Victorian townhouse Type: 2 double bedrooms, 1 living room/dining room, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen Area: Willett Estate Conservation Area Floor Area: 725 sq.ft.

Council Tax Band: B Why you’ll like it: Cromwell Road joins Davigdor Road to link Hove Station with Seven Dials, so this apartment could not be in a better location for those wishing to live the quintessential city lifestyle by the sea.

The transport links by train, bus or car are excellent, yet you can walk or cycle everywhere too.

While you are incredibly central in the city, the streets are tree-lined, so you are surrounded by greenery, and as you rise to this apartment, the views across the local landscape are sensational.

This apartment sits within a substantial, pale gault-brick Victorian townhouse which feels grand on the approach.

You enter the communal hallway where your door is clearly numbered on the second floor.

Stepping inside, it is clearly an immaculate apartment with a smart, neutral decoration to suit all styles of furnishing.

The eye is first drawn to the living room sitting to the front of the building with a deep bay sash window almost covering the southerly elevation.

This looks out to modern architecture, softened by green leaves on the mature trees of Cromwell Road – ever-changing with the seasons.

The natural light is glorious and skie light up with colour at night.

Period features are evident within the window panels, cornicing, dado rails and skirting, while the period fireplace takes centre stage.

There is ample space in here for comfortable furnishings and for formal dining with the kitchen easy to access, adjoining.

Having been renovated with a modern-retro vibe, the kitchen is streamlined and stylish using tones of duck-egg blue to accentuate the cabinetry, complemented by chequerboard flooring and tactile wooden door furniture.

While the oven and gas hob are integrated, space is left for a washing machine and a fridge freezer, leaving plenty of additional storage space.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the principal bedroom is another spacious room with a high ceiling and a tall sash window framing views to the north where a ribbon of the South Downs National Park wends its way across the skyline, reminding you just how perfectly positioned we are here between the countryside and the coast.

Even with a king size bed and several pieces of bedroom furniture, the floor space is not compromised. Bedroom two sits next door, sharing the same green aspect below open skies.

It is another double room with soft carpet underfoot, offering versatile use for sharers, children or as a tranquil home office.

Easily accessible from both rooms, the bathroom is smart and modern with a shower over the bath. This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction.
