We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Welcome to Grand Avenue Mansions — a distinguished and highly sought-after residence in the heart of Hove, just moments from the seafront.
Built in the 1890s as Hove’s first purpose-built mansion block, this iconic building blends timeless Victorian architecture with modern convenience.
Behind its striking yellow brick façade and cream stone accents, you'll find original black wrought iron railings, polished brass fixtures, and an impressive stone portico framing the entrance.
Inside, a grand sweeping staircase with a solid wood handrail and beautiful windowed landings sets the tone of quiet elegance.
A lift serves all floors, and there’s the added benefit of secure bike storage.
This exceptional apartment is in good condition and ready to move into, yet also presents exciting potential for personalisation and modern updates.
An exciting and unique opportunity for those wishing to add-value by remodelling into a three bedroom apartment (subject to necessary consents).
This spacious and well-presented apartment features two large double bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering a generous layout filled with natural light.
A wide hallway with ample fitted storage leads to a bright, south-facing living room boasting an elegant marble and wood fireplace and stunning views down Grand Avenue to the sea through a beautiful bay sash window.
The separate kitchen is well-appointed with a range of integrated appliances, excellent storage solutions, and space for a breakfast table positioned by the window — ideal for casual dining or morning coffee.
Throughout the home, original period features have been beautifully preserved, including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, sash windows, and picture rails — adding to the apartment’s classic charm.
The impressive master bedroom suite includes a wall of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious, monochrome en-suite bathroom. The second double bedroom is equally generous, with a west-facing window.
A second bathroom and additional storage, including a boiler cupboard, are located conveniently off the hallway.
Situation Positioned just moments from Hove Lawns and the beach, the apartment is ideally located to enjoy the very best of coastal living.
A vibrant selection of cafés, restaurants, and boutiques can be found on nearby Western Road, while Brighton city centre is within easy reach.
For commuters, Hove mainline station and regular bus services provide excellent transport links.
Property Ref Number: HAM-59934 Additional Information VENDOR'S COMMENTS 'I chose this apartment because of the amazing potential it offered.
Having viewed many properties in the Hove area, this one really stood out.
The building itself is one of the most impressive and well maintained I saw, and the apartment itself has everything you would hope for in a traditional period property, with all the character that comes with it, but without the expense, limitations and bureaucracy of being Listed.
It’s full of charm, and while it does need some work, it has the makings of something really special. I’ve absolutely loved living here.
I have wonderful neighbours, can park my car right outside, see the sea every day, and take advantage of all the great bars/restaurants a few minutes' walk away.
For all of that, it's a remarkably quiet location, set away from the main roads.
I had a vision for the project (which I’m happy to share with you) but sadly, albeit for exciting reasons, I need to hand this on to the next lucky owner.
This genuinely is a fantastic opportunity for someone to create a truly special home or pied-a-terre, in an iconic building and surrounded by a community that has so much to offer.' Brighton & Hove City Council Council Tax Band E Mains services
