Third Avenue, Hove, BN3

Airy, bright and well presented top-floor apartment with generously proportioned accommodation situated close to the seafront, lovely West-facing balcony and communal gardens. The apartment is located within a Grade II-listed and fantastically well maintained Regency mansion built in the early 1880s. The building was previously a home, hospital and school before being split up into nine apartments in the early 2000s, and has been much loved by the vendor for its community feel.

The interiors are light and modern, with windows framing magnificent far-reaching views across the city rooftops, and filling the rooms with natural daylight. The apartment is well presented, with neutral walls and floors, heritage details which complement the age of the building, and modern fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms. Lofty ceilings increase the sense of light and space, and there’s good storage throughout.

A split-level entrance hallway leads to a well-fitted kitchen with gas hob and integrated oven, which is fitted with a range of units. The dining/living room is open plan and has French windows opening to a private balcony. There’s also a bathroom with WC. The bedrooms are situated through an alcove, making them feel very separate, and include a principal bedroom with en suite shower room and a second good-size double with built-in storage.

Outside

The building is only metres from Hove Lawns and the seafront on a residential road, with residents’ permit and PayByPhone parking outside. The hugely popular Oeuf café is just next door. At the rear of the building there’s a lovely communal walled garden, featuring a lawn, borders and a gravel terrace. The apartment also benefits from its own private balcony accessed from the sitting room, which faces west and has lovely views over the city.

Situation

Third Avenue is in a prime Hove setting less than 100 metres from the Kingsway, with Hove Lawns and the beach just at the end of the road. At the northern end of Third Avenue, Church Road and its continuation, Western Road, offer an array of boutique shops, cafés, bars and restaurants and central Brighton, with its more extensive shopping and Churchill Square, is easily accessible. Hove Station is 0.9 miles away with fast direct trains to London and Gatwick.
