Ashdown is a smart mid-century development standing proud next to the County Cricket Ground in Central Hove. It sits amongst Victorian neighbours within the Willett Estate Conservation Area, characterised by wide tree-lined avenues sweeping down towards the sea, with the vibrant cultural centre of Hove just moments away on foot.

From the elegant communal lobby, a lift awaits to whisk you up to your floor where your door is clearly numbered. This opens to a generous entrance hall, where there is plenty of space to hang coats and organise shoes.

Both double bedrooms and both bathrooms sit at this side of the apartment, away from the main living area. Each room looks out to the green of the cricket ground to the north below open skies, so it is ultimately private and peaceful. While these rooms will require some updating, they are a great size, and both enjoy built-in wardrobes which maximise their floor space.

Conveniently opposite are a shower room and a full bathroom suite with a bath. These have retro appeal, but also offer plenty of space for renovation. Between the two is a vast cupboard which would house a condenser tumble dryer if need be, or all your household storage to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

At the far end of the corridor, the living room spans the depth of the building, with the kitchen adjoining at one end looking out to the cricket ground and a wide picture window to the front, facing south to bring in natural light throughout the day. This is a particularly spacious room for entertaining, formal dining or relaxation. It would be possible, with permissions, to bring the kitchen into this room, creating a third bedroom in its place, or simply knocking through to open the rooms adding to the feeling of space and light – all subject to permissions and planning consents.

Up on the penthouse floor and accessible by lift, the roof terrace is wonderfully spacious with tables, chairs and benches from which to enjoy the exceptional vista, taking your line of sight across the historic rooftops of the city towards the sea. From east to west, the skies are exceptional.

This generous apartment is situated in a prestigious area with lots of local green spaces, and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Hove Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast access along the South Coast, to the airports and London.
