About this property

This elegant third floor Grade II Listed seafront apartment boasts a LIFT, GARAGE (with water & electric), PARKING and three bedrooms, two bathrooms, beautiful views, fabulous balcony and some great features.

Beautifully appointed, three double bedroom, third floor apartment in an elegant Grade II-listed, yellow-brick building in desirable Kings Gardens on Hove’s seafront, dating back to the 1880s. There is a lift and secure entryphone system at the elegant communal entrance way around the corner on Fourth Avenue. The property benefits from a garage en-block and a parking space immediately in front of it, also in Fourth Avenue.

The flat itself combines classic décor in a neutral colour scheme with a wealth of period features, including high ceilings, decorative coving and classic white painted shutters. Extending to approximately 1193 sq ft beyond the front door a wide hallway leads, via a flight of just 5 steps, to a spacious central lobby area. Currently the area houses a home study, but there is ample space for additional storage cupboards or bookcases, as required. The reception space and one of the bedrooms lead off to the right at the front of the building, with the raised kitchen and main bathroom areas in the centre and the other two bedrooms at the rear.

The generous, bright sitting room, complete with large shuttered windows, southerly balcony and exceptional sea views is a highlight. To the rear, the raised contemporary kitchen is separate but with a large opening to the living room, making for a fantastically sociable space that works well for entertaining, yet keeps both areas distinct.

The three well-proportioned double bedrooms all benefit from handy fitted storage, whilst the main bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room. The accommodation is completed by a boutique-style bathroom with corner bath and overhead shower.

Situation
Kings Gardens runs parallel to the seafront, but is set back, away from the main road. Being up on the third floor, there are fantastic, panoramic views across Hove Lawns to the sea, and the local shopping, café and restaurant amenities of central Hove are just at the top of Fourth Avenue, less than 400m away. Central Brighton, with its huge array of attractions, restaurants and shopping, is just 1.3 miles saunter along the prom to the east, whilst Hove station is only 0.8 miles away, offering direct trains to London Victoria and London Bridge.
