2 bedroom apartment

*GUIDE PRICE £350,000-£375,000*

*NO CHAIN*

Brimming with potential for modernisation, this generous two-bedroom, purpose-built apartment also sits in one of the most sought-after locations in the city. It is part of the Willett Estate Conservation Area; just minutes from Hove Station and Church Road, yet it is a Mid-Century build, so it is a solid construction with airy proportions and has a private east facing balcony. The block is well maintained with a full-time caretaker. It is formed within the third floor but has lift access, and it also boasts a dedicated parking space and a large storage cupboard in the basement of the block. Transport links throughout the city are excellent. The schools within catchment are amongst the best in the city too, making this the ideal home for professional sharers, small families, developers, investors and commuters alike.

Why you’ll like it:
With Hove Station on your doorstep and the heady mix of boutique shops, restaurants and bars of Central Hove just a few minutes away on foot, this property already has some winning qualities. It is the potential to add value, however, which will really catch the eye.

The apartments of Veric are generous in size with well-proportioned rooms, filled with natural light due to large picture windows. These are double glazed for added warmth and quiet, making it hard to believe it’s positioned so centrally to the city.

Bearing the quintessential architectural features of the Mid-Century era, Veric is attractive on approach and has smart communal hallways and both a lift and stairs to take you to your floor. Once inside, the scale of the flat becomes apparent with a wide and welcoming entrance hall to include deep storage cupboards for household items, coats and shoes. A long corridor runs the length of the flat, and while it has clearly been beautifully maintained over the years, there is plenty of scope for modernisation throughout.

Both bedrooms are double with ample space for king size beds and several pieces of bedroom furniture. The windows have fitted blinds, and the décor is nicely neutral with creamy carpets and walls to suit all styles of furnishing until you choose to put your own stamp on the place.

Nearby, the bathroom is fabulously retro with an avocado suite, but offers plenty of space to create whatever spa style room you want with either a shower or a tub – or both! There is a second toilet and wash basin in a separate room.

Incredibly spacious, the living room is naturally light due to a box bay window almost covering its easterly wall. This provides the perfect spot for a dining table and chairs so you can gaze out to mature trees as you dine, while French doors open to the balcony so you can spill outside for dining alfresco as the weather warms. The balcony is also spacious and is covered so you can sit out here with heaters, even during winter, and the views are leafy and peaceful.

Inside, there is room for entertaining or relaxing on comfortable furnishings, and the kitchen is conveniently nearby. Much like the bathroom, it feels dated in its design, but the potential to create a superb, contemporary room is huge.

Agent’s thoughts:
There is so much potential here to add value in a prestigious location. The property has been well-maintained, and it has generous rooms which would work well with many interior styles.
