NO ONWARD CHAIN | SHARE OF FREEHOLD | LONG LEASE |

Viceroy Lodge is an attractive Deco apartment building looking out over Hove’s peaceful Seafront, yet this apartment is unique within the development as it sits tucked away in a separate smaller apartment building in the central garden grounds. It has easy access on the ground floor and has one generous double bedroom. As a purpose-built apartment, it is well-proportioned with plenty of storage and large picture windows to fill it with natural light. The decoration is smart and neutral throughout, with many contemporary fixtures and fittings, so it is ready to move straight into or let out immediately with ease. The communal gardens are easy to access from the flat, plus the beach and Hove Lawns are literally a stone’s throw away. You are well located for Hove Station and the cosmopolitan shops, bars and restaurants of Church Road too, so it would be perfect for commuters, professionals and investors looking to buy into the quintessential Hove lifestyle by the sea.

Why you’ll like it:
You can hear the rush of the waves and the calling of the gulls as you approach Viceroy Lodge which holds a corner position overlooking the promenade and sea. As with many seafront Deco buildings, it has the appearance of an ocean liner with clean, horizontal lines and ample glazing. Uniquely, this apartment is securely tucked away within the central grounds, surrounded by gardens in a smaller purpose-built development. It is believed to have been the original Lodge House, but it has since been converted into sizeable apartments such as this one. You enter through the main building using an entry phone system, then through to the communal gardens to a low-rise contemporary building. This apartment has easy access on the ground floor.

You enter first into a gloriously wide entrance hall with space for a desk and furnishings, and a deep cupboard for coats and household items. It is well-presented having been maintained in recent years and renovated with a modern finish throughout. A neutral palette of calicos and creams has been used, so it is a blank canvas for any new owners or occupants.
Double doors open from the entrance hall to the living room which has a wide picture window almost covering the far wall. This looks out to greenery, so it is private from within and there is ample space for both relaxation and formal dining in here.

At the end of the hall, the bedroom is a generous double with a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space further. Conveniently next door, the contemporary bathroom suite is classic in white with white wall tiles, a shower over the bath and plenty of storage in a vanity unit below the basin.
Equally modern, the kitchen is well-equipped for storage in white gloss handle-free cabinets and drawers with an integrated oven and induction hob, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine – which may be available by separate negotiation.
Set to lawn with beautiful borders, the communal garden is a treat for the senses, and is large enough for several residents to enjoy at once. There are areas to dine alfresco or to have gatherings, and you can sit out here in the last of the summer sunshine where the beach feels too busy during high-season.

Agent’s thoughts:
This flat certainly feels secure for somewhere so close to the city – which is a huge bonus to have on your doorstep. The Ginger Pig Restaurant & Bar is opposite, while there are many more eateries on Church Road, and the beach is a joy all year round.
