Immaculate throughout and incredibly spacious, this two-bedroom garden apartment sits on a wide, tree lined road just minutes from Hove Seafront and vibrant cultural centre of Hove. It is formed from the entire ground floor of a substantial 1930s detached house, so it enjoys the generous proportions of the period with rooms filled with natural light due to wide bay windows. It has been renovated in recent years to include stylish and contemporary fittings and decoration, so it is ready to move straight into. Uniquely it also has a vast cellar room which is amazing for storage or could potentially be dug out to create a lower ground floor subject to planning. With its own street entrance, two bathrooms and two double bedrooms, it will appeal to families and professionals alike.
It is also within easy walking distance of Aldrington and Portslade Stations for the London commute, and several bus stops with buses running throughout the city and beyond. The cafes, gastropubs and bars of both Poets Corner and Church Road are also on your doorstep for a night out – what’s not to love?

Why you’ll like it
New Church Road is characterised by substantial family homes sitting within walled grounds, surrounded by greenery and mature trees. The road runs from the social and cultural centre of Hove to the boundary at Portslade with the beach just a few minutes to the south. This generous apartment is formed within the ground floor an attractive property set back from the road on the corner of Wish Road close to the park.
The house has been converted into two substantial apartments, with this apartment benefitting from its own street entrance and sole access to the vast cellar which spans the entire footprint of the building.
Inside, the rooms are generous and naturally light with wood flooring in the main living spaces and a cool palette of greys and white on the walls. The entrance hall is wide and welcoming with double doors leading through to the living room. There is ample space here for comfortable furnishings and a dining table which would fit perfectly in the box bay window. This is dressed in café shutters in white for privacy – although being set back from the quiet street, there is little chance of onlookers!
Nearby, the kitchen is streamlined with cashmere gloss, handle-free cabinetry providing a huge amount of storage alongside fully integrated appliances. The splashbacks are on trend in a large metro brick tile and there are plenty of power points for worktop gadgets.
Both bedrooms sit peacefully to one side of the hallway with soft carpet underfoot and plenty of space for king size beds and freestanding wardrobes without compromising on space. They both have easy access to the family bathroom which has a gleaming white suite with a deep bath and a separate shower for when time is of the essence. The principal bedroom also has an en suite shower room in the same chic style with slate floor tiles and metro brick walls, plus a walk-in wet-room style shower.

This apartment is far more spacious than most, and it has been beautifully maintained. Being so favourably located, and with so many attractive features, it is sure to be coveted by many.

Owner’s secret:
“This has been an excellent rental investment for us as it is so spacious and well located. For families, the local schools are excellent and there is so much to entertain you nearby. It would be a fantastic home for professionals too looking for a comfortable home office, or for developers looking to add value by renovating the cellar.”
