Standing proud on a quiet road just north of Palmeira Square, the apartments of Rochester Close hold an air of grandeur. At four storeys tall, with a patterned brick façade and ample glazing, it is an imposing, yet attractive apartment building surrounded by manicured lawns and verges.

This apartment is a crowning glory on the top floor enjoying far reaching views across the local landscape. Stepping through the door, it has clearly been well-maintained by the current owners who have decorated in fresh, neutral tones and added contemporary fittings within the kitchen and bathroom.

The space and light within the flat are immediately apparent when stepping into the entrance hall which is wide and welcoming. The hallway runs the depth of the building with the living room and bedroom two enjoying a westerly aspect and box bay dormer windows to frame the views. Within the living room, there is ample space for dining within the bay and for comfortable furnishings elsewhere, although there is also space for a table in the kitchen. Next door, bedroom two is a lovely double room with space for a king bed and freestanding furnishings without compromising on space. Double glazing ensures a warm and restful night’s sleep.

Moving through the apartment, you pass the study, which is currently dressed as a walk-in wardrobe, but would be perfect as a home office for those looking to work from home. Alternatively, it is a generous storage space – often needed in apartment living. From here, the kitchen is another generous room, perfect for entertaining or simply for those who enjoy cooking. There is a vast amount of storage in white gloss cabinetry to include several integrated appliances, and a rear door opens to a fire escape balcony, while also allowing the cool coastal breeze to flow through the flat during summer.

The principal bedroom is another lovely double room with views to the east, where the sun rises in the morning to gently wake you. Nearby, the bathroom is on trend with brick wall tiles and patterned floor tiles, rising up the side of the bath which has a shower over it.

This generous flat is beautifully situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to Hove Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the airports, universities and London.
