This sizable two-bedroom apartment is the crowning glory on the top floor of a substantial, Victorian townhouse, just moments from Brighton’s famous Floral Clock and Palmeira Square enclosures. Every room enjoys far-reaching rooftop views and ample glazing takes full advantage of the natural light available.

While the interior is well presented with a smart neutral décor, there remains plenty of scope to add value or simply put your own stamp on the place.

The proximity to Hove Station; the cosmopolitan shops, cafes and restaurants of Church Road, and Hove’s clean beaches ensure this will be a highly sought-after property for anyone wishing to live in style and comfort by the sea.

Why you’ll like it:

The exterior of this grand building is hugely aesthetically pleasing; adorned with exquisite architectural detailing. You enter through a grand portico entrance to a communal hallway and stairs sweeping up to your floor. An internal staircase rises up into the main body off the flat which adds to the feeling of space within. Stepping up, it is immediately clear this is a spacious and naturally light apartment with wide picture windows framing glorious views over the historic landscape.

There is ample space within the living room for formal dining and relaxed seating, and the palette of calicos and creams will suit all styles of modern furnishing. Having clearly been well-maintained, you can move straight in with ease. Nearby, the kitchen is partially open plan to the room. It has been fitted with plenty of storage and an integrated oven and hob, leaving room for several freestanding appliances. It would be in here where modernisation would have the greatest impact and would certainly add value.

Both bedrooms sit to the rear of the property with an easterly aspect, so the sun comes in to gently wake you each morning. Once more, the décor is clean and crisp in pale neutrals and the principal room has a nook with hanging space for clothes. They both have easy access to the bathroom which is classic in white with a shower over the bath.
