Studio for sale

Within easy walking distance of Hove Station and just moments from Hove Lawns and Beach sits this modern, first-floor studio apartment. It resides on Sackville Road: a wide, tree-lined thoroughfare leading the way from Hove Park down to the sea. It runs through the prestigious cultural and social centre of Hove so it is ideal for those looking for the quintessential city lifestyle, but it is also the ideal location for commuters who can be in London in just over an hour door to door.

It sits elevated on the first floor of a grand, red-brick Victorian house bearing all the hallmark architectural details of the era. It is attractive on approach and once inside the neat communal hallways, stairs lead up to your apartment door.

Once inside, it is immediately clear this has been a well-maintained apartment with a smart, neutral décor to suit all types of furnishing. The ceiling is high in the main room and the generous proportions allow for clearly defined areas to sleep, eat, cook and to relax. Two tall sashes bring in a lovely afternoon light from the west, looking out to the green trees and attractive period properties opposite. The kitchenette does not impose as it is recessed and has been fitted with modern units in white. Within these the electric hob and fan oven have been integrated and a fridge freezer has been fitted below the counter. Electric wall heaters economically warm the room during winter and the shower room is nicely separate. This has been tiled in natural stone with a mosaic trim and has a tall shower cubical and a wall mounted, mirrored cabinet for your toiletries.

Owner’s thoughts:
“There is a real energy to this area as you are just a few minutes from everything on foot. You have every amenity on your doorstep, where you can pop out for a paper and a coffee in the morning, and in the evening; The Ginger Pig provides a great atmosphere and food. As a commuter, it is also a real treat to jump off the train in the summer and head to the beach to catch the last of the sun.”
