Unique within the area, Arundel House is a grand Victorian development of purpose-built apartments dating back to 1898. Within its ground floor sits this immaculate and spacious, three-bedroom mansion flat with versatile rooms which invite complete relaxation and entertaining in style.

Always intended as a luxury apartment, its rooms are graciously proportioned with high ceilings and a wealth of period features to add character. The interior decoration is modern and of excellent quality, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease, yet there remains further scope to add value or simply put your own stamp on the place. With a Share of the Freehold, any changes you wish to make will be easier to come by.

With over 1700 sq. ft. to play with, this apartment will suit families and professionals alike who will appreciate the excellent location close to Hove Station, transport links and some of the best secondary schools in the city. The beach, Hove Lawns and the cultural and social centre of Hove are also within easy walking distance, ensuring the new homeowners will be able to live the quintessential Hove lifestyle by the sea.

Why you’ll like it:
Lined with mature trees and substantial period properties, The Drive has an air of grandeur leading down from Hove’s green parks to its promenade and beach. Midway, it passes through the thriving centre of Church Road where a wide variety of restaurants, wine bars and boutique shops await. Arundel House sits just moments away – perfectly positioned to enjoy everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer.

There is a beautiful variety of architectural styles on the Drive, and this apartment sits within a striking apartment building with the most ornate architectural detailing in the Free Jacobean style, reminiscent of 16th Century homes with a turret, oriel windows and detailed brickwork. It is a handsome, yet imposing building with just eleven apartments: each one grand in scale and just as impressive inside. This one also enjoys easy access on the ground floor.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed into an incredible entrance hall which feels like a room in its own right, with space to dine or work from home in complete comfort. Period features are abundant in the decorative cornicing and fireplaces, while the decoration throughout is immaculate in shades of calico cream, to suit all styles of furnishing.

To the right, the sitting room and bedroom two are the largest rooms; each with a fireplace and beautiful features. Facing east, the light is incredible and there is ample space in each room for larger furnishings. The principal room sits opposite with a westerly aspect and tranquil views. This room also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe with clothes and shoe storage for two, alongside a luxurious en suite bathroom with both a bathtub and a separate shower.

Moving through the apartment, the hallway turns to the kitchen sitting centrally with a unique bay window with coloured glass adding a pop of colour and the ideal space for an informal kitchen dining table. The kitchen area is well-appointed with smart Shaker cabinetry paired with dark stone worktops and integrated appliances, to include a gas hob, dishwasher and dual ovens stacked in a tower for easy access and cleaning. Space has then been left for an American fridge freezer while the utilities have a room of their own nearby where there is additional storage for household items, ensuring the home remains clutter free.

Bedroom three is another tranquil room which could again be interchangeable as a home office, guest room or child’s room depending on need. It has easy access along the hall to the second bathroom.

Agent’s thoughts:
This is a unique apartment as it has so much living space and three good size bedrooms so it will attract professionals and families alike. The location cannot be beaten with so much to enjoy on foot – you can quite easily live here car free.

Owner’s thoughts:
“This has been a wonderful home for us – it is incredibly peaceful, and the building is incredibly well-maintained. There is a sense of community here, so it feels safe and it’s well managed. Location wise, it’s hard to believe it is so central here, yet you can walk out of the front door and be on the beach, or in one of the many fantastic restaurants on Church Road, in a matter of minutes. We no longer need the space, but we will miss our time here.”

Where it is:
Shops: Local 1 min walk, city centre 15 min walk
Train Station: Hove Station 10 min walk
Seafront or Park: Hove Lawns and Seafront 2 min walk
Closest Schools:
Primary: Brunswick Primary, Hove Primary School
Secondary: Hove Park, Blatchington Mill, Cardinal Newman RC
Private: Brighton College

This bright and spacious garden apartment is beautifully situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Hove Station and the A27/A23 which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
