About
A truly magnificent four/five-bedroom mansion apartment occupying the first floor of one of Hove’s most distinguished Victorian buildings.
Positioned on the prestigious The Drive, just moments from the seafront and everything that makes central Hove so desirable, this remarkable home forms part of what is believed to be the first purpose-built apartment building in Hove.
Spanning just under 2,400 sq ft, the apartment offers an exceptional sense of space and character throughout.
From the moment you step inside, the impressive entrance hallway creates an immediate feeling of grandeur, setting the tone for the rest of the home.
The layout offers four generous double bedrooms, a separate study that could easily serve as a fifth bedroom if required, a spacious kitchen breakfast room, and elegant reception spaces ideal for both entertaining and everyday living.
Set within this striking red-brick Victorian landmark, the interiors beautifully balance contemporary styling with a wealth of original period detail dating back to 1898.
Rich in architectural character, the building is a fine example of Jacobean Revival design, complete with castellated towers, turrets, mullioned windows, and intricate brickwork.
Local folklore even suggests the building once provided guest accommodation for visitors attending lavish gatherings at Brighton’s Royal Pavilion.
Life on The Drive offers the very best of Hove living. The sea is literally at the end of the road, perfect for morning walks along the promenade or an evening swim during the summer months.
Some of Hove’s best-loved local spots are all within easy walking distance, including Canham & Sons Butchers, Baked café and restaurant, and the ever-popular Fourth & Church wine bar and eatery.
Hove Station is also within easy reach for commuters, offering direct links into London and beyond.
Please note: Some furnishings and décor within the property may have changed since the marketing photographs were taken, so the apartment may appear slightly different upon viewing.
