One-bedroom top-floor apartment with lift in Grade II listed Rochester Mansions, Hove – newly refurbished with sea glimpses.

A beautifully light and spacious one-bedroom apartment on the top floor of an iconic Grade II listed mansion block in central Hove. Combining elegant period detail with contemporary finishes, this immaculate home enjoys sea glimpses, a new kitchen, and the benefit of extensive building works completed within the last six months, including a new roof and full re-rendering.

Situated in the heart of Hove, one block back from the seafront, this spacious and elegant top-floor period mansion apartment with lift access offers the perfect blend of coastal living and city convenience.

Located in the highly sought-after Brunswick Town conservation area, this exceptional home sits within one of Hove’s most distinctive Grade II listed mansion blocks, just a short stroll from the seafront, Hove Lawns, and the vibrant cafés, pubs, and restaurants of Church Road and Western Road.

Built in the mid-1800s, Rochester Mansions is an iconic period building with a striking white façade, ornate canted bay windows, and beautifully restored communal areas featuring the original Victorian tiles, an impressive sweeping staircase, and a charming heritage lift. Extensive major works, completed within the last six months, include a brand-new roof, full exterior re-rendering, and complete internal redecoration. With costs in the region of £200,000, these improvements ensure the building is in excellent condition for years to come.

Inside, this bright and airy home combines elegant period character with modern comfort. The dual-aspect layout fills the flat with natural light and offers partial sea views from the living space. A generous open-plan lounge and dining area flows effortlessly into a stylish contemporary J-Pull kitchen in deep green, complete with integrated appliances and clever built-in storage, including a hidden laundry cupboard.

The unusually spacious hallway creates an inviting sense of arrival and can easily accommodate a work-from-home area. The peaceful double bedroom is well proportioned, with ample space for wardrobes and a large sash window overlooking the courtyard. A modern bathroom with shower over bath completes this delightful home.

Careful attention has been given to every detail, from refurbished sash windows and new Velux skylights to fresh décor and finishes sympathetic to the building’s heritage. The result is a welcoming, well-balanced home that is easy to maintain and full of character.

Residents of Rochester Mansions enjoy a genuine sense of community, with most flats owner-occupied and a proactive group of freeholders who take pride in maintaining the building. The block is fully managed, adding to the ease of everyday living.

Moments from the beach and within easy reach of Hove Station for direct links to London and Gatwick, this elegant apartment offers period charm, coastal tranquillity, and modern convenience in one of Hove’s most desirable locations.

Hove Lawns, Palmeira Square, and Adelaide Crescent offer plenty of green open spaces to relax in, while the beach and seafront are never far away. For cricket fans, the County Ground is found on Eaton Road.

Down on the seafront, a parade of local independent amenities on Kingsway includes the ever-popular Franco’s Osteria and the Sugardough Bakery. The renowned Marrocco’s is close at hand on King’s Esplanade with handmade Italian ice cream, perfect for hot summer days.

Holland Road is located in parking zone M.
