Peacefully located on a quiet road close to the sea and St. Ann’s Well Gardens, this sun filled one-bedroom apartment is also very central with Brighton Station an easy walk away. With a southerly aspect and a balcony accessible from the living room and the bedroom, it also enjoys sensational views as it sits on the seventh floor of a smart Mid-Century development with communal gardens. While it has a smart, neutral decoration as it stands, there is plenty of scope to add considerable value with further modernisation. With a full-time caretaker and gardener, the entire building and grounds are immaculate with an air of exclusivity, and with excellent transport links, this flat would be perfect for commuters, professionals, developers and investors alike!

Why you’ll like it:
The clean linear forms of Mid-Century architecture are making a comeback, so this well-maintained apartment building in Central Hove is on trend with freshly painted walls, balconies and manicured gardens surrounding it. It forms a slight curve to echo its Deco neighbours, and a neat drive leads to the main door with secure entry-phone system.

You enter the welcoming foyer where lifts or stairs take you to the seventh floor. Stepping in to a generous entrance hall, there are deep cupboards for storing coats, shoes, household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free. The entrance hall runs the width of the flat with the living room at one end and the bedroom peacefully positioned at the other with the kitchen and bathroom in between.

Within the living room, there is ample space for formal dining and relaxed seating which can spill outside to the balcony during the summer months. With the southerly wall almost entirely glazed, the far-reaching views and ever-changing skyscapes can be enjoyed from anywhere in the room which is neutrally decorated to suit all styles of furnishing.

Next door, the kitchen has a 50’s diner vibe with chequerboard wall tiles and pale mint cabinetry. There is plenty of storage and some integrated appliances, leaving space for others, plus the views are a joy to wash up to. Next door, the shower room is classic in blue and white – and much like the kitchen, it would be in these rooms where modernisation would add the greatest impact and value.

Mirroring the living room in size, shape and orientation, the bedroom is a lovely double room with a wall of glazing on its southerly side and a door opening to the balcony. Once again, the skies offer a wonderful backdrop to the room – particularly during sunrise and sunset when colours light up the vista over the sea.

The communal garden is a delight for the senses should you crave a little more outside space, with lawns and scented flowerbeds in walled grounds. St Ann’s Well Park is also over the road where you’ll find tennis courts, a café and picturesque picnic areas to enjoy throughout the spring and summer.

Agent’s thoughts:
Brimming with potential, this apartment has so many positive attributes that we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.
Owner’s thoughts:
“The building itself is well-managed and quiet with lovely neighbours, and you cannot beat the location for accessibility to the town’s amenities and the station. This flat has been a fantastic investment for me, so I will be sad to see it go.”
