2 bedroom flat to rent

Apartment 21, Berriedale House

A forward-thinking, all-electric seafront home

We are delighted to offer this beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment in Berriedale House, a well-regarded, purpose-built seafront building in Hove.

Constructed in 1966, Berriedale House was intentionally designed as an all-electric building at a time when gas was the norm. With modern housing now moving decisively in the same direction, Apartment 21 stands out as being ahead of today's all-electric curve, rather than catching up to it.

A calm, efficient all-electric home

Apartment 21 benefits from a rare Economy-10 electricity arrangement, supported by smart metering. A particularly valuable feature of this tariff is that off-peak electricity applies across the entire weekend, providing extended low-cost energy availability beyond standard overnight periods.

The apartment is fitted throughout with Dimplex Quantum RF High Heat Retention (HHR) storage heaters. These modern heaters use bonded magnetite energy cells to store warmth during off-peak periods and release it gradually throughout the day and evening.

Temperatures are set much like conventional central heating, while efficiency is managed quietly in the background. A central Quantum RF control hub coordinates the system and uses local weather-forecast data to plan ahead, optimising heat storage based on predicted conditions rather than reacting after the fact.

The result is a genuinely efficient, low-intervention heating system with predictable energy use and a real advantage over standard all-electric flats.

Freshly updated and well presented

The apartment has been recently redecorated throughout and benefits from new carpets in the hallway, living room and bedrooms.

The kitchen, bathroom and second bedroom feature durable tiled flooring, providing a clean, practical finish in high-use areas.

The accommodation

• Bright living room with wide window frontage
• Two well-proportioned bedrooms
• Separate kitchen
• Bathroom with electric towel rail
• Ample built-in storage

The building & community

Berriedale House is well maintained and offers:

• Two lifts serving all floors
• CCTV for added security
• A friendly, live-in caretaker
• An established and considerate residential community

Residents also benefit from a polite, well-run Berriedale House WhatsApp group (around 50 members), used for helpful updates and everyday neighbourly communication — a small but valued indicator of the building's community spirit.

Why Apartment 21 is different

• Purpose-built all-electric design (not retrofitted)
• Rare Economy-10 tariff with off-peak electricity all weekend
• Dimplex Quantum RF HHR storage heating
• Smart control hub using weather-forecast intelligence
• Calm, predictable, low-intervention energy use
• Recently redecorated with new carpets
• Prime seafront location in a well-run building

The apartment will particularly suit tenants who are comfortable with modern technology and enjoy understanding how intelligent energy systems work in practice.

Please note: Apartment 21 is offered unfurnished.

Some images include illustrative furniture layouts created using AI to help visualise how the rooms could be used. These images are for inspiration only — the apartment itself is shown in the accompanying unfurnished photographs and will be let without furniture.
