Why you’ll like it:
Artists Corner sits just to the north and east of Poets Corner and has been a favourable location to live for families and professionals for many years. Not only are the rows of Edwardian terraces slightly larger with more outside space, but the proximity to the city shops, the beach, parks, schools and stations mean people flock to live here. The one-way system means Prinsep is not a through-road to West Hove, so it is incredibly quiet too.
Classically Edwardian in style, the house has box bay sash windows, plasterwork details and a beamed gable. It faces south so it is filled with natural light and it is set back from the road and elevated slightly above it, so it feels private from within. Forming the entire ground floor, this flat has easy access up a few traditionally tiled steps and through a communal hall shared by just one other.
Stepping inside it feels immediately warm and welcoming with high ceilings and sanded wooden floors throughout. There is a space to hang coats within the hall, alongside deep under stairs storage for household items so the flat remains clutter free.
First to the left is the generous living room which holds a wealth of original period features to include cornicing, picture rails, an open fireplace and sash windows which almost cover the southerly wall. There is ample space in here for relaxation, entertaining and dining if need be, although there is a separate dining/work space alongside the kitchen. The walls are calico cream to complement the honeyed tones of the floor so the fresh décor will suit all styles of furnishing.
Peacefully positioned looking out over the rear garden, the double bedroom is a tranquil space to retreat to at the end of the day, and the views are a joy to wake up to. Echoing the living room, there are many attractive features which have been picked out in white against sage walls. A vast amount of clothes hanging space has been created within the alcove and even with a king size bed, the floor space is not compromised.
At the end of the hall, there is a second reception space which is currently being used as a home office, but it would also be ideal for formal dining as it sits conveniently alongside the kitchen which is also a fine size for an apartment. Waterfall oak worktops wrap around an integrated dishwasher and a freestanding washing machine, while the cooker and fridge freezer are also freestanding (and may be negotiable with the sale). Open shelving for glassware adds to the feeling of space while there is further storage at base level.
At the far end of the flat, the bathroom is on trend with white brick wall tiles and a granite topped wash stand with the basin inlaid. The WC is separate, and the shower sits over the bath.
Outside, the garden is far larger than expected, compared to those in neighbouring Poets Corner. The original walls have been retained and a pergola has been built at the far end, ideal for hammocks, outdoor seating and climbing plants and vines. Laid with shingle, it is a low-maintenance garden, but for the green-fingered, there is plenty of space to grow plants or create a vegetable patch. While it is technically north facing, it receives the sunshine throughout the day in high season and becomes a real suntrap as it is also open to the east and west.
Agent’s thoughts:
Uniquely spacious with a lovely garden and many period features, this apartment is also brilliantly located within the city, so we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.
Owner’s secret
“Having moved here from London, it was a real blessing having the station so close by, and the peace and tranquillity of the flat was a joy to come home to each day. I love being able to walk to the beach or to Church Road for a meal or drinks, and there is a real sense of community in the road which I will miss.”

This bright and spacious flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and green spaces nearby. The city centre shopping districts and the beach are within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to the A23/A27 as well as Hove Station with their regular, fast links to the airports and London.
