Flat Hove

AN EXCEPTIONAL SEAFRONT RESIDENCE.

GUIDE PRICE £500,000 - £550,000

Positioned within a striking Grade I listed conversion on one of the finest seafront terraces in Hove, this distinguished lower-ground floor apartment represents a genuinely rare find. Spanning around 1,550 square feet, the home delivers an impressive combination of period architecture, beautifully considered interiors, and adaptable living across several well-proportioned rooms.

What immediately distinguishes this property is its own private street entrance, a feature seldom found at this level and one that lends the home a sense of privacy and independence rarely encountered in a conversion of this stature. Inside, an entrance lobby gives way to a broad hallway dressed with dado rail detailing and warm wooden flooring that carries throughout.

At the heart of the apartment sits the south-facing lounge and dining room - a truly impressive space. Original multi-pane bay windows face directly onto the front courtyard, drawing in natural light throughout the day. The room retains its period soul: ceiling coving, a refined plaster fireplace surround, shelving within the chimney recesses and a pair of wall light points all contribute to the sense of heritage, while three radiators provide comfort year-round.

The kitchen and breakfast room has been fitted to a high standard, with an extensive run of wall and base units under marble worktops and matching splashbacks. An electric double oven and hob sit beneath a stainless steel extractor, and there is plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher. Five borrowed-light windows connect the kitchen to the lounge beyond and a door leads directly to the inner courtyard, a charming enclosed space, painted with a beach hut scene, which also houses the boiler store.

Sleeping accommodation comprises two generous double bedrooms and a study that functions equally well as a third bedroom, each looking out onto one of the property’s private courtyards. The principal bedroom is particularly well appointed, featuring ceiling coving, wall lighting, and direct access to a dedicated dressing room with fitted wardrobes. From here, the en suite shower room impresses with its full travertine finish, dual shower heads, concealed cistern WC and a chrome heated towel rail.

The main bathroom is no less considered - a corner bath takes centre stage alongside travertine-tiled walls and floors, underfloor heating and a chrome ladder towel rail. It feels far removed from the ordinary.

Outdoor space comes in three distinct forms: the south-facing front courtyard complete with two original cellar vaults; the artfully decorated inner courtyard; and a further rear courtyard accessed from the inner hall — a variety of private spaces that is unusual and genuinely valuable in this type of home.

Location - Hove seafront is one of the South Coast’s most coveted addresses, grand period architecture facing directly onto the promenade, Hove Lawns and the open sea. Life here follows the rhythm of the tides, with acclaimed restaurants, wine bars, and independent cafes just moments away.

Quieter and more settled than its neighbour, Hove carries a distinct village character that draws discerning buyers. Church Road and George Street offer boutiques, delis, and everyday amenities, while Brighton’s wider dining and cultural scene is minutes away. For commuters, Hove Station provides fast, frequent services into London Victoria and London Bridge - making this as practical as it is aspirational.
