Wilbury Road, Hove, East Sussex, BN3

Brilliantly located within minutes of Church Road restaurants and amenities and the beach and Hove Lawns a mere stroll away, this well-presented and spacious two-bedroom apartment is a real gem. It is on-trend being formed within the second floor of a smart Mid-Century development bearing the clean lines and quintessential features of the period. Inside, the rooms are generously proportioned, with large picture windows bringing in a wealth of natural light. The style is a mix of modern fixtures and fittings with natural materials and bold colour for a stylish and contemporary finish. Ideal for both relaxation and entertaining, the main reception room is large and comfortable leading out to an east facing balcony. Parking is also a breeze with a private garage on site, and with only two apartments on each floor, it is a close and quiet community to live amongst.

The close proximity to Hove Station and several popular schools will also mean this fantastic apartment will appeal to small families and professionals alike.

Why you’ll like it:

The Carlton is a smart and unassuming development, standing amongst Victorian neighbours within the Willett Estate Conservation Area. This is a hugely popular area, characterised by wide tree-lined avenues sweeping down towards the sea, and every amenity you could wish for sits within a few minutes’ walk.
The exterior is classically Mid-Century while inside, this apartment has been brought shining into the 21st. Elevated on the second floor, there is a lift or stairs to take you up where your door is clearly numbered on the landing shared by just one other apartment.

Stepping inside, it is clear this is a generous space, filled with natural light. Light wood laminate flows along the entrance hall to the living room, passing two large storage spaces to ensure the flat remains clutter free. Within the living room, there is ample space for dining and relaxation which can spill outside to the balcony during summer. From here, you can listen to the cricket matches or music concerts held at the County Cricket Ground located behind the building, then on November 5th, you can enjoy the annual firework display from the comfort of your own home.

Adjoining the living room, the kitchen also has space for an informal dining table and chairs alongside plenty of built-in cabinetry which includes an integrated oven and hob. Space has been left for a tall fridge freezer, a washing machine and a dishwasher – all of which may be available by separate negotiation.

The principal bedroom is a generous double with built-in wardrobes, while the second room is a large single, ideal for a child or as a roomy home office. Both rooms have soft carpet underfoot and double glazing so you can always ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep. There is easy access to the bathroom from both bedrooms, where a deep bathtub has a shower over it and the walls are nicely tiled in warm-stone tones.
