About
First-floor period apartment with balcony & sea views Occupying the entire first floor of an imposing period building on prestigious First Avenue, this beautifully individual apartment combines impressive proportions, exceptional period detailing and a private balcony, just moments from Hove seafront.
The standout space is the superb kitchen, sitting and dining room, where soaring ceilings, intricate cornicing and a decorative ceiling rose create a wonderful sense of grandeur.
Painted cabinetry, timber worktops and a substantial central island give the kitchen a relaxed, characterful feel, while the magnificent curved bay floods the room with natural light.
Doors open directly onto the private balcony, providing space for a table and chairs and an attractive outlook along First Avenue towards the sea – a lovely setting for morning coffee or an evening drink.
There are two bedrooms, including a generous principal with en-suite shower room.
The second is particularly versatile, with a clever mezzanine sleeping area making excellent use of the impressive ceiling height. A separate bathroom completes the accommodation.
First Avenue is one of Hove's most desirable addresses, with Hove Lawns, the beach and promenade moments away.
Church Road's excellent restaurants, cafés, bars and independent shops are also within easy reach, together with convenient access to Hove Station.
With its whole-floor position, remarkable period features, superb living space, balcony and sea views, this is a distinctive home in an exceptional Hove location.
*Property is offered as furnished or unfurnished* Available from 1st December.
