Why you’ll like it:
Bellmead is an attractive, low-rise development located close to St Ann’s Well Gardens and the clean beaches of Hove. It has a smart exterior in red brick which blends perfectly with its older neighbours, and there is parking for both residents and visitors. There is wheelchair access throughout and lifts to take you to the upper floors. For quiet times there is a library and a communal garden which is well maintained by a gardener.
This flat is on the second floor and while it is simple in design, it is also very accessible, with spacious rooms and 24-hour alarm cords fitted in each. You enter into a generous hallway where there is a airing cupboard and newly fitted grey carpets flow from here into the main living areas for continuity. First on the left is the bathroom which could benefit with updating, but it is in fine fettle as it stands with an electric shower over the bath and a heated rail for towels.
Facing east, a lovely morning light filters into the living room via a full height, double glazed window looking out over the attractive buildings of Holland Road opposite. From here you can watch the world go by but being elevated on the second floor ensures it is peaceful. There is ample space in here for a dining table and chairs, plus sofas for relaxation, while the kitchen is open to the room. A south facing window brings in far-reaching views across the rooftops and trees of the local landscape. There is plenty of storage in country-style timber units leaving space for an under counter fridge, while the oven and electric hob have been integrated. With a communal laundry room, there is no need for a washing machine or tumble dryer in the flat.
Next door, the bedroom shares the same sunny aspect as the living room and is a lovely double room with a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space further. With double-glazing, you can always ensure a warm restful night’s sleep. There is a guess room located in the communal way with en-suite facilities that you can rent out for guests at just £15 per night.
