Occupying the upper two floors of an elegant Grade II listed detached villa on one of Hove’s most prestigious avenues, this exceptional five-bedroom duplex maisonette offers an outstanding blend of period grandeur, generous proportions, and modern versatility. Circa 2,170 sq ft and benefitting from two allocated parking spaces, this is a truly unique home in the heart of the city.

The property is approached via beautifully maintained communal hallways featuring stunning stained-glass windows, setting the tone for the character and charm found throughout. The principal floor provides an impressive arrangement of living space, including a spacious drawing room, separate kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, a large double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, cloakroom, and a useful home office or boot room.

Stairs rise to the upper level where an impressive landing, complete with a built-in window seat and ample space for furniture, creates a welcoming central hub. This floor provides three further bedrooms, each benefitting from its own en-suite, together with an additional bedroom currently arranged as a study.

The first level also enjoys two ornamental balconies, while additional features throughout the home include tall ceilings, elegant cornicing, beautiful panelled sash windows, and useful loft storage. The property is offered for sale with a share of freehold and a recently extended 998-year lease.

Situation
Ideally situated on The Drive in central Hove, the property is within easy reach of Hove Station plus local parks and schools for all age groups. Regular bus services into Brighton and beyond, an excellent selection of bars, restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as the seafront.
