Why you’ll like it:

Adelaide Mansions is a stunning Regency building on Hove Seafront built in 1873 alongside the Crescent of the same name. These beautiful Italianate set pieces have become integral to the city and are Grade II listed to protect their heritage. They were built by famed Brighton architect Thomas Lainson, at a time when Brighton had become very fashionable for the top tiers of society. While many have now been converted into luxury apartments such as this one, they have retained an air of exclusivity, and remain one of the most prestigious addresses in the city.

Attractive on the approach, you step up through the grand portico entrance and into the well-maintained communal hallway where the scale and beauty of the building becomes apparent. This apartment is neatly tucked away to the rear of the ground floor on the westerly wing so you are not disrupted by noise from the road, yet the beach and Hove Lawns are right there on your doorstep when you need them!

You enter into a long corridor running the length of the apartment with the bedrooms and bathroom at one end and the main living areas at the other.

The bathroom is simply yet classically designed in blue and white with a shower over the bath, while the kitchen has been well-designed for the galley space to include plenty of storage and space for freestanding appliances alongside an integrated oven and electric hob. Modernising in areas such as the kitchen and bathroom would add value to the property.

Bedroom two is first along the hall on the left and is a roomy single which would also make an excellent office. It is incredibly peaceful in here and the westerly aspect brings in a warm light during the afternoon.

The master bedroom next door is a large double with a private outlook and a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space. This shares the same sunny yet restful aspect as bedroom two and both have easy access to the bathroom across the hall.

With a high ceiling and ample room for entertaining and formal dining, the living room is generous and has some period features which include skirting and three sash windows which also face west following the natural curve of the building. Cream carpets and walls offer a blank canvas to any new owners and will suit all styles of furnishings.

This flat is ideally positioned for professionals, couples or downsizers who are looking for a peaceful home while also being well-connected to everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer.
