Why You’ll Like It:
One of Hove’s best kept secrets, this peaceful area attracts professionals who work in the city or commute as it is well connected to major employers with local buses at the Dials radiating out across the whole of the city and both Hove and Brighton Stations are walkable - or 4 and 6 mins respectively by cab or bus. In a leafy enclave of well-kept period terraces, this substantial ground floor apartment has its own, separate entrance and makes the most of its large corner plot with a big front garden, made private by tall hedging / fence and child secure by a gate. The approach is impressive with a lawn level for play (hard to find in a city built on hills) and a spacious, paved terrace for dining. There is an original porch, and the large windows already have energy efficient windows in place.
Inside the character of the building has been kept in an inviting hallway, with a cast iron radiator and visitor friendly wood flooring which continues into the living room. Sunlight streams through this room of classic beauty where the ceiling is high and of dual aspect, two large windows bring the outside in. Instantly restful, there is ample space for friends and family to relax and enjoy the garden in complete seclusion in front of the beautiful fireplace which the vendors were told on their purchase is open, but have never used.
There is an easy flow along the hall to the bright and cheerful kitchen diner where a window looks across the dining terrace at the front, and French doors lead out to a paved, sunny patio ideal for entertaining. Well designed, the dining area is by the patio and the kitchen is safely tucked away from the social flow. Right on trend, midnight blue shaker units have copper detail, work surfaces are family friendly and there are two levels of lighting for ambience. Good to go, the Zanussi gas hob, hood, oven and a dishwasher are integrated for you, plumbing is in place for a washing machine and there is designated space for a tall fridge freezer.
Central to the apartment, the contemporary bathroom is light and airy with ingenious storage, a shower above the double ended bath and sleek vanity beneath the hand basin. Next door, the first of the double bedroom has views over the patio, and is not directly overlooked. Simple but stylish with a fitted wardrobe in one alcove, there is plenty of floorspace for more furniture – or quiet study. Across the hall, the second double room is also private with leafy views. A sunny yellow with gleaming floorboards underfoot it is used as a quiet home office / guest room. Not to be outshone, the principal bedroom is big, bright and completely private, and with a glorious period fireplace and walk in closet, you won’t need to change a thing.

Agent says:
“Quiet but convenient, this peaceful enclave of pretty period terraces have good transport links in or out of the city and there is a friendly community here as these homes don’t come onto the market very often – and sell fast.”

Owner’s secret:
“The location suits a busy lifestyle, but you’ll return to peace and quiet. We have enjoyed the big, bright rooms here which give lots of space to relax, work or to entertain in total privacy, and one level living is really easy. We loved creating the garden where we spend most of our time when it is warm – and we designed it for simple maintenance so you can sit and enjoy it! If you enjoy the great outdoors, the sea is a 15 minute walk, St Anne’s Wells Gardens is just 7 with tennis courts, open green spaces for running, a café and a playground, and you can walk through Hove Green to Dyke Road Park which offers the same and an open air theatre. There are local shops and a bistro pub at the end of the road, and the good primary is a 5 minute walk, so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to the city. The relaxed vibe of 7 Dials, vibrant bars and restaurants of Church Road and Hove Station are all within a 15 minute radius on foot too!”
